Autofocus performance is excellent for 4k video, particularly after you fine-tune the AF settings. Unlike the older Alphas, the Sony ZV-E10 includes settings like 'Autofocus Transition Speed' and 'Autofocus Subj. Shift Sensitivity' with a wider range of options to help you fine-tune the AF performance.
By default, the transition speed is set to the fastest option ('7' or 'Fast'), and subject shift sensitivity is set to the lowest value ('1' or 'Locked On'), which seem to be tailored towards vlogging by keeping the AF quick and locked onto your face. However, we found that the camera performs a little worse than comparable Sonys like the Sony a6100 or the Sony a6400 when using these default settings. With these settings set in the middle to more closely match the default 'Autofocus Tracking Sensitivity' and 'Autofocus Drive Speed' settings of the Sony Alpha 6x00 lineup, the ZV-E10's AF performance aligns more closely with those cameras.
Additionally, this camera has some specialized features to help certain kinds of vloggers, including 'Product Showcase' and 'Background Defocus', both of which were introduced on the Sony ZV-1. 'Product Showcase' automatically shifts focus to an object held up in the frame without prioritizing your face, while 'Background Defocus' toggles between a blurred or clear background with the press of a button, so you can quickly get a shallow or wide depth of field.
