purchased the camera yesterday and i can't wait to get it! is there an app to transfer photos & videos to upload it to your phone? this is my very first camera.
I bought one 5 months ago and was so intimidated trying to get set up with only what Sony sends you - this video was so helpful that as of now I have it set to go - headed to WDW with granddaughter to shoot some video. Questions I still have - what editing SW ( PC )- is the best/easiest for a newbie. How do you download to your PC with this camera ? with my regular cameras there is a 1 touch send. Do you just connect to pc and should I use SD card reader to do same ? got an external 1 TB separate drive to load to. Do you have a video on how to connect sony gimbal ? only recommendation - slow down just a little on setting- for new people like me who's play=pausing on youtube. just excellent job
I got the camera a few weeks ago. It's my first camera ever, so I'm a absolute beginner. So maybe someone can help with my issue.. When I shoot outdoor and I am trying to catch (for example) my dad working in the garden.. the sky is always so bright. You can't see the color of the sky or the clouds. Is this a problem in general with the camera or is it a setting I don't know how to change?
thank you. excellent job I do not need an FX-30 to shoot a review, just an 1F because today its a great cam, tomorrow another one will come out. beats the Hell outof an Action camera with added features if asked
Depends what your priorities and what you shoot but if vlogging really is what you’re doing then yes unless you plan to save up for an interchangeable camera.
Hello Mike! Just a beginner here. Planning to buy dji2 for vlogging but since I saw your vid I switched to Sony. My problem is how can I easily edit the videos on that cam? Coz unlike DJI 2 it can easily connect to phone and it has an editing app. Hope I can help me. Thank you..
Got mine a few days ago. But for some reason the battery went from almost full to almost 0% in 1 hour. I had it on all the time while watching videos on TH-cam on how to choose the correct settings and going through the settings at the same time. I wasn’t recording or taking pictures. Then I realised that the bluetooth had been on all the time. But do you think that the bluetooth could drain the battery that quickly? Or could it just be that the camera is faulty?
The battery on these cameras have been known to not be that great on any version of this camera before it. Perhaps try using the airplane mode and turning it on and see if there is much of a difference.
@@MikeBSalazar thanks for your answer Mike. I phoned Sony Contact Support this morning and the guy told me to remove the battery for 1min and put it back on again and test and see what happens. I also thought about the airplane mode and I’ll test it as well.
HLG? Those are called picture profiles and they help with maximizing the most out of the image of the camera through color correcting and color grading.
@@qaecobitv2295 Small cameras like this do tend to overheat. I had a maximum record time of an hour just on a single battery. Perhaps you could get more if you had a battery bank plugged in. I choose those resolutions and frame rates in a case to case scenario. If I want a particular slomo shot, I'll shoot in 120 fps, otherwise i'll just shoot in 24 fps, or for you 30 fps.
Would be great if you showed us how to actually use it and the explanation of the buttons. Why are you rushing and speaking so fast, difficult to learn when you’re a beginner. I still don’t know how to take a picture with it even after this tutorial 😓🙈
Sorry about that. Thanks for the feedback. Have been working to make the explanations well paced. If anything, perhaps the changing the playback speed to 0.75 would be more helpful? With taking pictures, you want to make sure that when you press the mode button that in the top left corner it shows a photo icon rather than a video or S&Q icon.
Do you shoot jpeg's at all? 🤔
I was so stuck figuring out how to make quality videos with this camera until I came across this video. Thank you!
Just got mine in the mail today. I have to say this is the best video covering this camera I’ve seen so far 👍 thanks man
Means a lot! Thank you very much!
Thank you! These videos were priceless for a newbie
Glad it helped!

Yes. Should be the image edge app

Oh yeah thats still an upgrade for almost the same price too
@@MikeBSalazar ha ha ha. you are right. loved the vid, great work and keep all posted enjoyed
Great review bro!
Thanks man!
After 7 months, do you still recommend it for a newbie vlogger?
Depends what your priorities and what you shoot but if vlogging really is what you’re doing then yes unless you plan to save up for an interchangeable camera.
Just purchased it, how do I extend the lens?
The lens itself doesnt zoom. Just digital zoom.
hi which one you could recommend this one or the zv1?
I typically recommend ZV-1 if its in the budget.
@@MikeBSalazar thank u so much sir, it helps.
Great video. And pls could I know how to do the mirror mode on. Coz when I do the selfie video it's always in the real view.
MENU → (Setup) → [Monitor] → [Monitor Flip Direction] → desired setting.
this seems super worth it now compared to the ZV-1 MK2 . . . right?
I still like the convenience of an optical zoom and shooting raw photos in the sony zv-1
@@MikeBSalazar that's true, wish they put the MK2 the same price as ZV-1 and dropped the price a bit on the ZV-1
thank you Mike B Salazar
You’re very welcome

Im going to guess you mean the DJI action 2 or osmo 2? You can select a portion of your clips from the zv-1f to send to your phone.

Great review!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great Video and I didn’t even know this camera existed…
Recently released :)
@@MikeBSalazar okay thanks…
what is slog 2 and slog3 and I forgot the other mode that starts with h?
HLG? Those are called picture profiles and they help with maximizing the most out of the image of the camera through color correcting and color grading.
@@MikeBSalazar when to use slog2 for? and slog3 used when? and hlg used when?
Is this camera good for workout vlog?
Yeah it's good if you want to just set it down and get a wider field of view of your workout space.
@@MikeBSalazar does it overheat? what is maximum time to record 4k? which is better 1080p 120fps vs 4k 30fps?

Would this camera be good for sit down talking head videos?
Yes, you can do it for this, especially for wider field of view. Just light accordingly and you're good.

It’s not good. No autofocus.
What makes you say that? There is autofocus on this camera.
