THANK YOU! I was about ready to return my ZV-1. I had previously looked up a few videos on camera settings and the color left a lot to be desired. I decided to look for a few more videos and saw yours. You actually talked through what the settings are and why you are changing them (versus others that just said "change this to this" without the why). I was able to use what you suggested and adapt based on the information you gave to find the best settings for us!
I have no idea what I’m doing, but my camera is now set up exactly like yours. Now I have to figure out how to program the vlogger tri-pod thingy. Thank you for the video.
Best video by far on TH-cam on ZV-1 setup. I took my new camera and followed you step by step to get an awesome looking camera for video. You made this camera worth the money. Thank you. I’m hitting all the buttons.
Sure helpful, thanks! Literally watched this 3 times over (and drained my battery in the process) making sure I had everything down 😂 Got my ZV1 just this week after your recent video about re-buying one.... loving it so far!
Wow....that was very informative settings for the ZV1. Thank you! There are so many settings in the camera and it can be a quite overwhelming for a novice shooter.
May God bless you Sidney, I've looked everywhere for me to be able to use my ZV1 for shooting youtube thumbnails, now I can because of this very thorough tutorial. God bless you real good
This is an incredibly helpful video, so glad I found your channel--just subbed! I recently purchased the ZV-1 and looking forward to using it on future adventures.
Even for indoor you recommend setting the WB to daylight? It gives me an orange look, how do I correct in PPro if there’s no gray or white in the shot? Just play with the color temp?
Thanks. Between you and a few others I may have this figured out. I have been recording my YT channel on an iPhone for a year and a ha,f. Time for a change!
Hi. Thank you for this. I try to apply this settings and we will see!. Anyhow I just have some concerns like the file format. Fo example, you choosed the 120p but in my settings its only 100p other than that I have no choice.
When I try to change a setting it occasionally says, “this operation or setting not available as follows,” & I can’t make the adjustments. Any way I can change this??
I just bought this camera do you think these video settings would be good for a channel like mine? All my videos are how to videos DIY. Thank you for your time.
great video - did I miss the viewfinder gamma assist (I just spotted it while menu diving, but did you mention it?) - love the camera too :) [Setup1/Page1/Gamma Disp. Assist]
Thank you. Subscribed. I've had the ZV-1 since it came out with Vlogging handle. I like the entire set up except for my line of work stabilization has been more of the struggle. I have invested in a Zhiyun Crane V2 gimbal. It's OK but I do like DJI gimbal's I have had with my phones better and going to maybe add the DJI Ronin SC yet. I also tried to download the Sony app for stabilization and cannot get my (newer this year) Surface Notebook 2 to accept the Sony Catalyst software to try... Anyway I'm just "a Carpet Cleaner with a TH-cam Channel" and I'm learning a lot this year having purchased the ZV-1 which is one of my first cameras in a long time. I have bought a bunch of gear to try and keep improving, and I have to say most important to me, I'm having fun! So if you (or anyone) have any info on best stabilization, would appreciate it. I also shoot in 4k and just added a wider lens kit to the camera. Hope to get out in the field and shoot with that soon. I'm a bit laid up since having full knee replacement a month ago (had fun wearing the knees out racing snowmobiles and jet skis in my day by the way 😁🏁) Thank you for this video. Looking forward to more content from your channel 😊👍
For strictly photography how good is this camera? With this camera in Aperture priority, how would you change the shutter? And one more thing, how do you get that beautiful blur in the background?
Hey Sidney ! As you directed in the video , I restore my cam and after that I tried to follow your steps then I figured out I have no 24p options in record settings . Can you help me about that , please ? Do I need to reboot the system of my camera ? Thanks 🙏
You can have your photography default on the M Mode or whichever rather than taking up a MR Preset. That would allow 3 to be normal frame rate 1080p for example
It's such an awesome camera, the animal eye tracking and continuous auto focus for video and stills is by far superior to other cams, sold my fujifilms xt3 and xt30 kept the xt1 for my manual lenses, and if it wasn't for the noise levels on this sensor and limited zoom it would be the only 1 camera you need
Hey!! I came back to set it up again cuz mine was defective, got a replacement as I definitely love what it can do so wanted to give it another try. Anyway what other setting would you recommend for shooting cooking video? I already have made the settings to yours right now!! Any suggestions will do!! Thank you!! Stay safe and blessed 👍
1- thxs for the tutorial. 2- It is possible to configure the camera so that when taking photos it focuses everything, both the person and the background. ?
im new users of ZV1, idk why I use this setting even though I don't really know what those functions are. hopefully, will find out soon. thanks for the vid!
Hey thanks for such a wonderful tutorial, I have a question how to turn off the mirror effect ? every photo or video I have recorded of myself is mirrored.
What would you suggest to be the best settings for shooting a podcast in a home studio? I record on StreamYard and then download the episode for editing. I have some LED lights for lighting.
I'm using this camera for my channel. One thing to keep in mind after making these changes proposed in this video for video mode is you're now filming in HDR. You've got to change some settings in Final Cut Pro to be able to process this right. Also, these changes made my shot very yellow. Still playing around with this - I don't know much about these camera settings.
Great video! Is there a way to lock the White Balance on the Sony ZV-1. I’m a trainer, and while I’m moving in my studio, the balance continues to adjust. What can I do using the Sony ZV-1?
Hi, your set up tutorial was very helpful. Just got my zv1 but when i changed the settings i found out that i couldn’t take a photo using any buttons. It always prompted me to a screen saying ‘start movie shooting by pressing MOVIE. Can somebody pls help me with the troubleshooting. Thank u
I just discovered. your channel, thanks for the tips. Between the Sony zv1 and richoh gr iii, do. you know between the 2 which has better photo quality?
I was following great until 08.58 minutes in when it jumped from instructions to this screen but not showing how you got there from the menu. Will try figure it out!
Thank you so much for this structured guidance! I have ZV-1 since 24 hours now and this was the most important thing for me how to create individual settings on this camera. Now i got it! 👍 But i have a question now! Is it possible to make cinematic movies with ZV-1? I mean a movie like in cinema style with black border on top and bottom of screen? I like that way of movies. Or is it only posiible when i use DaVinci Resolve or other Video programs? Greetings from Berlin!
Hi, what do you think is the best setting for someone that makes build and how to videos on TH-cam are? I record with a lot of hand and body movement and I want the shots to look clear without the camera going crazing on trying to focus in and out on my movements. When the camera does stuff like that, I get a some recordings of focus in and out blurs. What is your suggestion for a more clear shot with body and hand movement? Thank you.
Omg this hurt my head but thank you! I just filmed a whole video in it’s worse settings 😂 it looks so bad but the editing is great😂 now it’ll Look good with amazing quality!
Hey with these video settings, it’s seems like you’ll primarily over exposed when you go outside. How would you account for that and still get great footage at 60p, just up the shutter?
hi, I am a new subscriber for now. Just curious my pp10 doesnt have the further setting like gamma, black gamma and saturation etc. could you advise why?, my camera model is sony zv1

Just got my mine, wohoo 🎉!! How to connect the camera to wifi and Bluetooth
Also what type of memory card would you recommend to use for this camera? Thank you so much
If you have a ZV-1, this is by far the best video for getting started. The best (and I've watched a LOT).

Hi. Thank you for this. I try to apply this settings and we will see!. Anyhow I just have some concerns like the file format. Fo example, you choosed the 120p but in my settings its only 100p other than that I have no choice.
Sounds like you're in PAL mode. 120 is available in NTSC mode (Tab 5, Page 2 of the Sony menu)
When I try to change a setting it occasionally says, “this operation or setting not available as follows,” & I can’t make the adjustments. Any way I can change this??
Mines said the same too
You have to change the camera mode to something named as "Manual" or "Program auto"

Do tell about formats for stills and video
I just bought this camera do you think these video settings would be good for a channel like mine? All my videos are how to videos DIY. Thank you for your time.
Would this be a good camera for shooting the eclipse?
thanks for helping. this video is very useful if, like me, you have just bought a Sony ZV-1!
Thank you so much 😊
great video - did I miss the viewfinder gamma assist (I just spotted it while menu diving, but did you mention it?) - love the camera too :)

Does it have a setting to turn off the zoom sound when you zoom in something? You can always hear the sound zooming during playback of the video.
Agreed. Did he ever answer that question

What is the best gimbal for this camera ?
Hey Sidney ! As you directed in the video , I restore my cam and after that I tried to follow your steps then I figured out I have no 24p options in record settings . Can you help me about that , please ? Do I need to reboot the system of my camera ?
Thanks 🙏
Can you explain how to turn it on? Like how to charge it…
i have only one question , can i transfer the pics in this camera to my iphone?
Hello there this is informative I don’t know mine is showing very dark footage used two LED lights and a really ring light but it’s so dark
Cool video, Sidney.
Saw some people complaint the stabilization, your thoughts?
You can have your photography default on the M Mode or whichever rather than taking up a MR Preset.
That would allow 3 to be normal frame rate 1080p for example

Film at f/1.8 as much as you can and make sure you have good lighting!
@@SidneyDiongzon Thank you !!!
can you do a video comparing the sigma 16mm f1.4 at 2 times clear image zoom with the sigma 30mm f1.4 at normal focal length?
1- thxs for the tutorial.
2- It is possible to configure the camera so that when taking photos it focuses everything, both the person and the background. ?
Try shooting with a higher aperture to avoid a shallow depth of field. Also make sure defocus is off.

Mine were a little yellow as well how do I get it out? Other than that it was an amazing tutorial♥
