Here's a tip about the Sony ZV-1 that I only learned recently! Anyone who uses the camera while travelling will find this useful!! Only took me 2 years! th-cam.com/video/0Po_BHfbmLo/w-d-xo.html
@@VicBarry I Just decided to return the ZV1. There are just too many options and I rather keep shoting with my iPhone where I only have to select the lens and tap where it has to focus. I was intrigues by the better low light quality, but overall I found it to make my workflow harder. There are so many settings and such tiny buttons. Its not for me.
Cheers Vic, quite new to the ZV-1 and if I am honest quite a camera biff but your videos are really helping me find my way around the camera. Thanks again G
Hey dude, thanks for the comment. As long as the camera isn't moving in a shot (on a tripod etc) then turn it off because you'll get a slightly wider shot. I know there's 3 settings, similar to off, kinda on and full blown steady shot. To be honest, from a stabilization perspective, full blown steady shot is the only one worthwhile, hence the crop.
@@VicBarry we are a bunch of rookies with cameras again for our industry. We have mainly used our cell phones and some of us with a gimble. We are still learning it but I (and friends with it) do like the camera. Being portable is great and the mic isn't too bad either. I'm also using small shot gun mic at times and just ordered another new one that can pick up both directions (waiting for it to be available). I am going to go shoot some video I hope maybe today with it and the new to me Zhiyum m2 gimble. I think this might help for what I'm doing. Either way, I'm spending money on camera gear and just having some fun. Thanks again for all your info on this camera. It's been a fun channel also to watch!
Cheers for the reply Mark! Really appreciate the kind words!! I'd be interested to hear how the Zhiyun works out! That aside, the main things is your having fun! That's what it's about ultimately. Is there anything specific you'd like to see or learn how to use on the ZV-1?
@@VicBarry at this point I am early with it but everything you have been covering has been gold to me! If I think of something I will reach out... But just really enjoying your work 😊👍
@@VicBarry just to share, the zihyum doesn't link up so can use its features BUT I did discover the vlogging handle still works even when not attached to the ZV-1 like a remote control while in the gimbal) Not sure from how far away yet as between a few dozen interruptions from grandchildren (bless them though 😁) I did discover this... I will try to find out more and let you know 😉👍
A few points about changing on the NTCS/PAL: - I believe it might delete what's on your memory card when switching? can anyone confirm? - If you shoot indoors in the wrong setting for your country, you may get flicker in your footage due to the frequency of the AC electrical supply for that country. If you use the correct setting for your country, no flicker. If you're shooting outdoors then it might not matter. - Note you probably don't want to mix and match frame rates in the same project, unless done deliberately for effect.
Yeah. The card must be formatted. There’s a warning pops up before you commit to the change. True on the light bulb stuff as well but it’s very much dependent on the type of light bulb. I’ve being shooting NTSC in a PAL region and haven’t had any problems and it won’t matter outdoors.
On the mixing frame rates, quite a number of videos will have multiple clips with different frame rates. 24, 60, 120 or higher. There’s a subtle difference between 24 and 30 which will probably be the main frame rate for most shooters. Best to stick with one but the majority of viewers wouldn’t notice the difference
@@VicBarry I have it set to 250 and its slow o when I record already. Didn't quite understand if there are additional things I should do? Could I speed it up again, and then only slowmo a portion of the video?
Hi Vic. Ive been watching your video since last year. & last year i took your advise on getting the gopro 7 black & it was the right move for me. 😄 since then, ive finally started my TH-cam Channel & creating content using the hero7 black. Just want to say thank you so much Vic 😉✌. Im currently considering to get the canon M50.
but you didn't mention what are the settings of the camera when you tried to connect through your phone cause in my camera are not active and it's a nightmare with sony app
I just bought my Sony ZV-1 few days ago I tried your #2 tip turning Tile Menu On but mine does Not Change if it’s on or off you have any idea why I’m on firmware 2.1
Hey there, it's nothing to do with firmware (at least as far as I know) - it's only going to be one one screen, so if you're shooting something and then press menu, you should see the tiles, but then it jumps back to the other menu where you change the settings
@@VicBarry Thanks for the quick reply. I just ordered the A6400 w/ Sigman F1.4 Lens. I like the ZV-1 too... but am going to do my own hands-on comparison. The A6600 looks amazing, but not sure if it's worth the extra money over the A6400 for my use purposes. Keep up the good videos! It would be super helpful if you told us what settings you use for the A6600. I'm guessing they're similar across the entire A line.
Hey Vic - Love your channel - So Useful! Can you help me, please? I have a ZV1 and I use Newer lighting kit. I'm filming video in Program Mode. Product showcase off. I set tracking to my eyes but I don't move much (talking videos) but I keep getting lighting variance. Meaning, sometimes the lighting just gets brighter (more exposed) and then other times it goes darker. I've played with various settings of ISO and exposure but nothing seems to help. Currently, the ISO set to 200 and Exposure at -1. What am I missing, and why does this keep happening? Thanks for the help!
Do how do I achieve the look of your set up!? My softboxes was the whole seen with light or when I try darker, the final product in premiere makes me look dark so it was pointless. Please help, beautiful image man
Hey Ebenezer, I’m using one soft box a few feet away at about a 45 degree angle. I’m also bouncing a ring light off a reflector to add a fill to the opposite side of my face. And I’ve the blinds drawn so i have complete control over the light. That’s it.
Vic Barry so simple I’ll give it a try. I have some falcon eyes rx8 lights, hopefully I can accomplish the look in my smaller space. Again beautiful look man!
Thanks Ebenezer, keep in mind your camera settings as well. I’m a small space too. Try and get as much depth as possible between you and the background. To get some distance get the camera at a diagonal in the room as in towards the corner. From a light perspective get some l small light behind you to give some more depth. Hope this makes sense. Best of luck.
About the memory settings I've encountered something quite annoying. If you save settings within M1,M2 or M3 they get deleted when you format the memory card. Presumably there's no way around this?
@@VicBarry Don't see it at all; even the guy at BestBuy didn't see anything when he messed with it 😶 Maybe when I go to Norman Camera to sell my Canon 7D Mark II; they can try it Thanks anyway..🙂
Hi. If you can attach the Filter ot Converter on the ZV-1. It will be more perfect. Instead of the sticker Adaptor, there is "UX-Tube" for you to attach various of Filter or Converter and even the Lens Hood. If you want to have a try on the adaptor, please leave me a message. I will send one to you.
I can't begin to express how much i HATE my Sony ZV1. I feel so ripped off. Overheating issues make it useless to shoot 4k- especially in warm climate. The menus are terrible. The battery life is brutal, even the Sony branded batteries are depleted as quickly as the knock off brand. The only thing this does well is fast focus - but it isn't worth it. I'm selling the and going back to Canon.

Keep em coming Vic I’m digging your channel! 😋😎
Thanks Rich 👊 don’t forget to turn it back on though (this has happened me a few times)
Thank you 🙏😍
Thanks for watching Melissa. How are you liking the ZV-1?
Hey Vic! Why turn steadyshot off completely? I think only the active steadyshot introduces the crop, whereas the standard does not.

HI, vic, how many seconds we can filming slow motion video in zv1?
More or less unlimited in 120p. The other ones like 960 and 480 is just a few seconds.
Hi Vic Barry, thank you for this video! Could you kindly do a youtube tutorial on how to set manual focus while in DMF focusing mode?
Do you recommend this camera for macro videos of watches?

Love your intro. Where did you get the template from?
Hey there. Thank you. Made it myself 👍
Vic Barry Good job!
Thank you 🙏
@0:45 I didn't understand this. What was the point of reducing video speed by 50% in video editing programs?
Slow mo
@@VicBarry I have it set to 250 and its slow o when I record already. Didn't quite understand if there are additional things I should do? Could I speed it up again, and then only slowmo a portion of the video?
If you’re shooting at 60p (as shown in the video) you can slow it down a little more in editing
Also if shooting 120p the clip comes out of the camera at “normal” speed and needs to be slowed down in post
@@VicBarry Ahaa, so 120p then I get the normal speed that I want? Perfect, thanks!
is there a way to fix the inverted thing? it fillms me mirrored? is there a way to uninvert it ?

Hey Noel, awesome stuff. Thank you for the support. How are you finding the 7 so far?
@@VicBarry its great in outdoor, however not so much in low light area. It does get hot when shooting for a long period of time.
Yeah. The low light on gopros in general is poor as the sensor is small. But that aside it’s an insane camera
