While I've been a TH-camr for a while, I still love learning about cameras and shooting and just bought the EV-10. This video was hands down better than everything else I've come across for setting up the camera and shooting different things. Thanks for this!
Thank you for this video Sean! I'm a Canon user and started using the ZV-E10 because I wanted to start shooting quality videos in 4k at 30 fps. The Sony happened to be a camera under $1,000 so I made the investment while treating my Canon M50 as my B cam. I appreciated your simple walkthrough in this video. A lot of creators are just telling viewers "what to do" compared to "how it works" and so I appreciated your explanations for each setting.
Also, the account I'm using to comment is my filmmaking channel, but I also am using the Sony ZV-E10 for both of my reaction channels and music channel.
And another awesome video for those of us just starting out and using this camera! I swear I've been stalking your channel for hours this morning! Saved this one in a Notion page I am saving tutorials like this to come back to as often as I need to. Thanks Sean!
Very informative video, congrats! I'm looking to get this camera for my music performance videos (as in shooting guitars-keyboards in different angles as cinematically as possible etc) and this one probably will do the job. I haven't found any specific video for shooting objects (with hands moving on them lol), but I believe the talking head settings you mentioned will come handy.
Huge fan Sean! Any particular settings you would suggest for videos we are shooting for someone that is talking and moving around? Someone that is giving advice for Instagram reels, Tiktok Etc...
Hey Alex, thanks and happy to have you a part of the channel. I'd just use tap focus/tracking in "wide" AF for the focus area and you'll be good to go. Might be good to have the AF transition speed and AF subj. shift sensitivity around 3 or 4 each
this was so helpful Sean. Got my ZV E10 out the box today and went straight to your video cos you got the 🔥knowledge and I don't want no out-of-the-box noob settings.
I just bought this yesterday for a trip I have coming up and I didn't want to bring my canon r5. I used to own a g7x mark ii but sold that a while back. I was going to purchase the g7x mark iii but TikTok was overflowing with the zv-e10 so I figured I give it a try. I'm not loving the the fact that the screen isn't touch screen but I'm still going to give it a fair shot.
Thank you, sir. I'll be shooting nightlife vids in Thailand. Moving there next week. I was shooting with my iPhone and Sony ZV-1 but decided to upgrade.
Moving to Thailand for nightlife videos? That's what I call dedication! I hope your new gear can handle the epic parties and vibrant energy. You're going to have some wild stories to share, I'm sure!
@@Deisyvivianaa ha I’m transferring my site AS WE SPEAK. Refresh and the link should work. You’re literally the first person to use it. Let me know if it works!!! Still working out a few small kinks but it should work.
Hello, good video I took a smooth panning shot from left to right side by hand with the zony zv-e10 with the stabilizer activated, the best of the three with the 10-18 f4 oss lens (the old one) and when watching the video in The computer makes like jumps between lines, it's not the gelatin effect, it's not like the frames overlap, the speed I used is 1/30 at 24 fps, is it the camera, is it my settings, is it my lens? Do you have any ideas, thank you very much
great video! I need to learn more about aperture, shutter speeds and ISO combinations. It has been years since I had to do this. For example, when in a very bright outdoor setting, with Auto ISO and a 3.5A, what SS is best? 1/800 looked the best to my eye, and the lower I went, 1/500 for example, it was too bright - washing everything out.
I got EZV-10 because I want to set video/ audio podcast…it’s my first professional video cam. I don’t know nothing about video cameras.. I am learning how to set it up….
Great video. Bought an Zve10 and Ronin rs3 gimbal thing, just to shoot my brother's football/basketball games. Trying to learn enough by friday night! lol I'm definitely going to mess this one up.. Starts at sunset, so light is changing. Second half shouldn't be so bad but I've just gotten this camera and really don't know anything. But i am determined to stay in manual mode and figure it out
I use to shoot with Nikon ( D7000 and D800) but i always missed that autofocus and flexible screen - so im planning my Vlog about Karting to takeoff as soon as possible. Amazing content ! Thanks a lot!
quick question if you dont mind, but some of the focus aettings on my c am seem to be showing a download like button icon on then and are unavailable. is there anyway i can have them downloaded or do i need a software update thank you
Thanks! Helped a lot, this is my first camera ever. I setup my camera just like you did, but my visual on the screen is distorted a little. Why is that? Picture comes out great tho.
Where did you get your background sound proof tiles that are black in the background? I don't see it in the affiliate links. I know most probably don't pay attention to that, but it would also match my apartment lol. Also same for your white light in the background next to the sound proof tiles ( vertical light ). Thanks man.
your lighting looks amazing.. i cant seem to get nice lookig lightning like that even with nice equipment.. maybe its the luts and picture profiles you use if you use them, not sure.. i havent ever got into that as the type of videos i make it wouold be a big hastle i think.. looks good tho
Hi Sean, I'm new to videography. Can you suggest the best picture profile setting for travel and nature documentary? My ZV E10 i coupled with Sigma 16mm f1.4 as for now. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for this my guy, really helped. I film stand up comedy indoors, I am still lost at the settings to use but this is a good start. Would love to get a bit more technical about it but hopefully in time.
Thanks for all your videos, have been a big help. My sole intent of ZV-E10 is opening products/trading cards on youtube videos. I have uploaded my 2 now, first video i shot was out of box settings, 2nd was these settings for most part. Am following along. After some testing with the kit lens i opted to go with the 10-20mm F4 G. Any tips appreciated to help this production of mine. That is stock mic. I need some lighting help it seems as well as i am using led bulbs in ceiling light and a Snap on Shop light (its bright). I hate seeing my shadow and the red light in the cards (I should maybe turn front red light off for this type). Those types of issues make it look so amateur. Thanks again.
I have an issue with my ZV-E10. When I first started using the camera I was able do edit the length of the video directly when I pressed the playback button. I think it was because of the settings I used initially but now I just can't seem to find how to do that again.
Hey Maximo, yes to all of the above. You might want to upgrade at some point for better dynamic range for real estate but I do think that it will suffice.
Man I just ordered this camera, your tweaks are amazing. Does the vlog setting work for streaming? Or would it default to out of the box settings once you connect it to usb? Another question (I'm a noob) what's the difference between using usb C instead of hdmi? I've seen a lot of streamers using hdmi with their cameras for streaming, but you used usb C on a precious video. Thanks in advance.
Thank you and NICE - enjoy the new camera. If you're newer, I'd suggest intelligent auto for streaming and over time consider the manual settings. HDMI will offer better resolutions at times for some cameras, but the USB-C connect with this camera is so fast and easy
I have the question..for me as a beginner when i had this camera it comes with a lens for photgraphy.. in cinematic what is the best lens for this camera on making a videos?
Thank you so much for this. It's so helpful as I'm just starting out. Could you share on which tab/page for the s&q I can find the auto focus and auto focus shift sens as it is not currently in my functions options. A second question, when you are bringing your shutter up to 1/125 where are you accessing that? Thanks again.
Hi boss, I have one Question for ZV E10, Currently we are struggle by selecting Image mode, video mode and Slowmotion mode by using Single Key pressing 3 times. Instead can we make any custom button for Slow motion or any mode..?
@seandewispelaere thanks. Ordered 2 with your link. Read some reviews where some folks said they stopped working within months. Hope I don't have that problem.
Yes, but I deactivated the flight mode again, and the issue remained. Unfortunately, I was forced to format the memory card and lost all pictures and videos.
Towards the end of the video, you went through some scenarios of different video settings and implied there’s a way to save them. I watched the other video, you can only recall one memory. Did I miss anything?
If you keep regular “M” more for video as one of your settings and also make sure you use a MR for photo then then regular “M” for video will act as an additional “memory recall” container
While I've been a TH-camr for a while, I still love learning about cameras and shooting and just bought the EV-10. This video was hands down better than everything else I've come across for setting up the camera and shooting different things. Thanks for this!

My ZV-E10 and 15mm f1.4 gets delivered today, my first big upgrade from the ZV-1 and I’m looking forward to it 🤝
Thanks I bought the camera now for my Dj Live Sets on TH-cam and that fits my needs, thanks for the quick settings.. I applied all of them now.
lets see how they turn out this week :)

That helps alot also using it for the a6400 - Good job!
Love to hear it, Kevin
Thank you for share your experience with ZV-e10 you explain it very well 💪
No doubt, glad it landed well for you
Great video. Did you know that the face/eye autofocus is off while product showcase is on. It is showing on your screen.
This helped so much! Thank you fo this video.
I'm so glad to hear that this video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching and I hope you continue to find value on my channel
I just bought this yesterday for a trip I have coming up and I didn't want to bring my canon r5. I used to own a g7x mark ii but sold that a while back.

I'm not loving the the fact that the screen isn't touch screen but I'm still going to give it a fair shot.
Let me know how it goes and after some getting used to, the navigation is decent. The custom buttons and function menu helps a ton.

Try a shutter speed of 1/50 (should always have that a 2x the frame rate) and you should be good to go
@@seandewispelaere oks i'll try thanks

Epic work. In mine "Movie W/ Shutter" is defaulted to OFF. Yours is set on. Can you touch on that, and which I should use? Thanks much.
If you turn “movie with shutter” on, it will free up the record button for a customizable button
Thanks a lot ❤
No problem - glad you liked it

hi sean, why does my Sony ZVe-10 only have 25p 100M and 25p 60M in 4k? I dont have all the options like you do.
thanks! which one should I use?
I could be wrong on this but it may be the speed of your SD card 🤝
Nailed it
19:03 Messing with focus speeds prevents Product Showcase from working. Just leave them at their maximum setting.....speaking from experience.
Thanks for all your videos, have been a big help. My sole intent of ZV-E10 is opening products/trading cards on youtube videos. I have uploaded my 2 now, first video i shot was out of box settings, 2nd was these settings for most part. Am following along.

That's awesome - checking out your channel now. You'll see me in the comments in a minute
Showing no videos on your channel?
I have an issue with my ZV-E10. When I first started using the camera I was able do edit the length of the video directly when I pressed the playback button. I think it was because of the settings I used initially but now I just can't seem to find how to do that again.
Do you recommend this camera for car/motorcycle photography? But do you need a stabilizer? Because the camera didn't integrate it if I'm not mistaken
great video Sean, would you say this is good enough for real estate photography and video? It does have bracketing shooting right?
Hey Maximo, yes to all of the above. You might want to upgrade at some point for better dynamic range for real estate but I do think that it will suffice.
Great explanations thank you Sean. May I ask, what is the editing app your using to edit your shot with that camera?
Thank you and I use Premiere Pro
Thaaaaaanks You're the besttttttt
I you leave product showcase on, the option face eye priority is switched off,

How did you set the levels so you know your camera is leveled?
Press up on the wheel to cycle through different display options
Thank you so much for this. It's so helpful as I'm just starting out. Could you share on which tab/page for the s&q I can find the auto focus and auto focus shift sens as it is not currently in my functions options. A second question, when you are bringing your shutter up to 1/125 where are you accessing that? Thanks again.
Good video but you lost me in the second to last frame 😞Going too fast and I couldn't find how to get back to aperture.
hey sean, i got the same camera and cant figure out how to shoot raw footage could you help? thanks in advance
Hi boss, I have one Question for ZV E10, Currently we are struggle by selecting Image mode, video mode and Slowmotion mode by using Single Key pressing 3 times. Instead can we make any custom button for Slow motion or any mode..?
Unfortunately, no. The camera needs to have that toggle to activate certain settings, but the memory recall should help you a lot.
What's the thin white light you have behind you on your right? That's a nice little accent.
Enjoy: amzn.to/41HH64u
