Camera Accessibility Functions of ZV-E1

This function reads aloud information such as text on the screen.
Only some languages may be supported for this function depending on the model. This function is available only when the language set in the menu is supported by this function.

This function lets you check the focus by enlarging the image before shooting. You can also use the focus magnifier function by touch operation.

When shooting a movie, this function displays areas that are in focus and areas that are out of focus so that you can visually distinguish them. Areas behind the in-focus region are indicated by dots in a cool color and those in front of the in-focus region are indicated by dots in a warm color.

This function enhances the outline of in-focus areas during shooting with Manual Focus or Direct Manual Focus. When shooting a movie, you can also use the peaking function with auto focus.

If you set the subject in advance, this function enables the camera to automatically recognize the subject and focus on the eyes, etc. when shooting images. The camera focuses on the eye, head, body, or entirety of the subject recognized in or around the designated Focus Area. When shooting still images, the camera focuses on the subject when you press the shutter button halfway down. When shooting movies, the camera will focus on the recognized subject, even if you do not press the shutter button.

This function lets you use touch operations to select a subject you want to track in still image shooting mode and movie recording mode.

When performing auto-focusing, this function lets you specify a position where you want to focus using touch operations. After touching the monitor, press the shutter button halfway down to focus. You can also touch a subject to focus on it when shooting movies.

When performing auto-focusing in still image shooting mode, this function automatically focuses on the point you touch and shoots.

This function lets you automatically set the exposure based on the brightness of a point you touch. You can fine-tune the brightness by sliding the brightness adjustment bar that appears after touching.

The camera is equipped with a vari-angle LCD monitor that opens out horizontally for still image, movie, or vlog shooting. You can also take selfies easily while looking at the monitor. It is also useful for low-angle or high-angle shooting.

This function lets you assign the functions you use most frequently to easily operable buttons and dials. This lets you skip the process of selecting items from the menu screen, so you can recall the functions more quickly. You can separately assign functions to buttons and dials for still image shooting mode, movie shooting mode, and playback mode.
