In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Sony ZV-E1 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,037,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One feature that differentiates the ZV-E1 from many older cameras is in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The ZV-E1 reduces the risk of handshake-induced blur with all attached lenses, while cameras without IBIS have to rely on optical image stabilization in OIS-equipped lenses to achieve the same effect.
