Thank you for the video. I keep having issues creating my lives, and the focus is the problem. I can't seem to get it correct on it. Hopefully, this video will help me more. I will play with the setting to see if I can get this focus better.

Hi mate, thanks for the great video, I have a question please. I bought my zv1 especially for recording cooking videos and I don’t like the way when camera keeps switching the focus between my hand and the food I’m cooking. Is there any settings that can keep the focus on both my hand and the foods and plate under my hands? I would really appreciate your reply 🙏
Hey Feriak, thanks for the great question. I’d say there are a couple of solutions. First you can try setting the AF drive speed to slow and AF tracking sensitivity to standard (both are in menu 2 and I think covered when we discuss rack focus on this video). This settings will basically tell the camera not to switch autofocus target rapidly so if your hands are in shot briefly you shouldn’t get much focus change. The other option is just to set a narrower aperture (higher f number) this will increase the depth of the focal area and keep more things in focus. Depending how far away the camera is I’d say try f4 and see how it goes; if you need an even deeper focus then gradually try higher f numbers. Hope that helps:) Let me know if you have any questions, consider subbing if you enjoyed and have a great day 💪
hello DB, nice video for ZV1, can you enlight me on what the ISO should I set when using HLG3 to shoot video. Cuz 250 seem too low that the image looks so dark when it's cloudy, Should I use auto ISO for HLG3 to properly expose when the light is not good?
Hey Panda, the answer will vary depending on the exact lighting and exposure conditions. Try to boost iso enough for the camera to be at or close to 0.0 on the exposure meter where you can. There’s a deep dive on low light here which might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/sGS17Cy5AOE/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching, consider subbing if you enjoyed and have a great day 💪
Sir, as u shown best in video tell me one thing is it good in pictures clicking in low light and now im using eos 1300d. If you got any suggestions please do tell me . Thanks for sharing informative information about zv1
Hey Shiwani, thanks for watching and the interesting question:) I haven’t tried the eos1300d directly but I’d say the ZV1 will give competitive low light performance if your eos has a smaller aperture lens (like an f3.5 kit lens for example). But if you have a wider aperture lens (like an f1.4) on the eos then it should have an advantage as it has a larger sensor. You can see some comparison on low light with the A6400, which has a similar sensor size to the 1300d, here in case helpful: th-cam.com/video/D-PPIus5-DI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching, consider subscribing if you enjoyed and have an awesome day 👍
Hi, great video! Manual focus is not supported on ZV-1, using Imaging Edge app from Sony. Can you please tell me which app you use for this as I really see a lot of shake from using the jog wheel! Cheers !
Hey JI, massive thanks for watching and nice feedback:) So it is Imaging Edge I use for remote manual focus. Normally there a little bit with ‘mf’ or ‘af-c’ in the upper right of the controls when using the app in portrait orientation. I’m on iOS and the latest app version. You can see the option next to AWB at around 1:10 in this video: th-cam.com/video/9zwIur02jHo/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you’re still unable to find what you need, but that’s the approach I’ve been using - hope it helps:) Thanks for watching, consider subscribing if you like this sort of content and have an awesome day 👍💪
@@dbvares8745 Thanks for the quick reply DB! I am referring to the Sony website info here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/page2.php?area=gb&lang=en&mdl=ZV-1&abil=32200 I can find the MF buttons in the app. If we are talking about the same ones they toggle between MF and Zoom ? They work perfectly on zoom. When I push them the lens moves and the view zooms as expected. But after I toggle to MF they seem to have no effect when I push them. In your video you seem to be tapping rather than pushing, is that correct ?
Hey JI, yeah the tapping might be the key. The app (for bizarre reasons) doesn’t seem to let you hold down the MF adjust like the zoom so instead you have to tap repeatedly. It’s pretty tedious, but it can get those super nice shots - especially nice if you use some speeding up and slowing down in post production:) Hope that helps and let me know if you get it working - the tapping takes quite a bit before you see it working but it should work 😆
@@dbvares8745 Kool, I'll try the tap dance ! You'd think if they could write the software for continuous zoom they could have done the same for MF ? Luckily Sony's cameras are better than their software, hey ? 🤣
My camera can do all this? Wow! I will definitely get around to proving it (unless you are lying through your teeth). First I need to master Intelligent Auto. Loving the production values. No expense spared. Great cast.
Hey Kay, I have been known to tell the odd fib, but never about cameras and even less often when my lies would be stored indefinitely on the Internet. I know, I’d make a terrible modern politician with that attitude;) Glad you enjoyed and wishing you a great day 👍
As always great video! Educational, well structured and with (probably) typical English humor. Thanks for that! The point with the peaking setting I had actually not yet known. Very helpful setting! And otherwise, I've watched the video three times now and see myself confirmed in my endless, previous research regarding focus-techniques.🙄 I find it worthwhile to internalize these things with the focus, so that you can quickly and intuitively choose the appropriate technique outdoors and not have to consult the online manual first, as I had to do in the middle of the forest.😅 Have a nice weekend and stay relaxed.
Hey 4Lakes, awesome to hear from you my friend:) Although I grow increasingly jealous of all the nature you’re filming while I’m legally confined close to home 😆 It does sound nice! I agree - I was pleased and surprised how much there was to say about focus when I came to make this one - although it ended up making the finished product take longer I think it was worthwhile. I definitely agree about the intuitive use point. For that I strongly recommend button and menu shortcuts- I have af/mf toggle on my delete button and set focus (which also gives the magnified) on the left of the wheel; peaking all in the function menu and AF drive speed for rack focus in my custom menu. It’s not ultra smooth but it works pretty well in terms of what I use most often and quickly adapting to the shot. Let me know how your experiments go and if you find anything interesting:) Our conversation about your touch focus experience with a gimbal helped inspire some of my testing and mitigation ideas too 💪 Also disclaimer: I think even for the English my humour is a bit odd 😆 Take care and have a great weekend 💪
@@dbvares8745 Yep, the forest and all its beauty, the smell, the animals is especially good in these times - if you are allowed to go there.😬 I also use shortcuts for af/mf (key 2) and set focus (key 4). This is actually extremely helpful! Of course I'm glad that my incredibly elaborate experiments😜 with touch focus and my questions about it have brought something.Your ideas from the current video definitely help and I think the more I try, the better it works. I hope to find time soon to make and upload the first video with the ZV-1. Of course I will let you know.
That sounds awesome and I look forward to checking it out once it’s ready:) And as I said in my other response, these sorts of interesting chat are both enjoyable and help me think of additions to content. I’ve got a bunch of wider stuff planned when time allows but it is very fun to see how much one can do by trying to master something like the ZV1 rather than assuming more or better gear will improve techniques or creativity. Though I’m definitely partial to getting gear so I can’t really say anything 😆 Take care and stay safe my friend 💪
Thanks Christian :) I do get mistaken for Andre the Giant surprisingly often 😂 Thanks for watching, consider subbing if you enjoyed and have a great weekend 👍
Hello! Many thanks for this great tutorial. I have very important quaestion before buying, could you help me? Can I use the manual focus with application? I want make indoor videos from a distance of 2-3 meters and I need set the manual focus with app on the floor. Thanks in advance!
Is there a way to make it that the camera focus is not all over the place? A way to make the focus calm and settle? I want it to be that when I am recording the camera is able to focus, but not get blurry in video when constantly adjusting the focus. Is there a nature way for it to look more smooth? Thank you.
Another professional production with lots of info. I didn't realise how deep the focus settings go. I will definitely try some of these focusing techniques. Stay safe my friend. 🙂🙂
Hey Martin, the super cool dude in shades who is always a welcome sight:) Thanks as ever for the kind words and I’m glad you’re interested to try some of this stuff. I’d used elements separately but until I came to put this video together I didn’t realise just how much cool stuff you can do with focus on the ZV1 so I think it’s definitely worth experimenting. Same to you mate - stay safe and have an awesome weekend 💪👍
Hey Raja, the touch tracking with the tracking box doesn’t work at 120p unfortunately. You can use touch to spot focus though which should let you achieve similar results-you’ll just have to pay a bit closer attention to check the camera is doing what you want 😆 Thanks for watching, consider subbing if you enjoyed and have an awesome day 👍
Is there a way to turn off the focus? I want it to be that everything is clear in shot frame even when moving around so it is not trying to focus on just 1 thing. Thank you.
to get everything in focus, raise the aperture or simply click the background defocus button twice to make the background clear. or you can set manual focus on a far away object which would keep object past a certain distance in focus.
Not one of these videos shows you how to enter the dial focus mode. You guys assume too much, I've watched 10 videos on how to manually focus and none of you cover the basics of how to enter that mode. Frustrating. I cant switch between auto and manual, but how do you enter dial focus mode?

Hey Tora, finally got to looking at this - it works well, right? Very smooth and potential for some very cool shits. Nice job!
How to get the rack focus on 120fps??
Hey Raja, the touch tracking with the tracking box doesn’t work at 120p unfortunately. You can use touch to spot focus though which should let you achieve similar results-you’ll just have to pay a bit closer attention to check the camera is doing what you want 😆
Thanks for watching, consider subbing if you enjoyed and have an awesome day 👍
Is there a way to turn off the focus? I want it to be that everything is clear in shot frame even when moving around so it is not trying to focus on just 1 thing. Thank you.
to get everything in focus, raise the aperture or simply click the background defocus button twice to make the background clear. or you can set manual focus on a far away object which would keep object past a certain distance in focus.
@@truthseeker6804 Thank you.
One more thing, how do I make the zv-1 focus on nearest object in auto focus or "AF-C" in video?
Just letting you know, the rack joke landed very well.
Hello
I decided to buy Sony ZV E10
Congrats on the investment Rotha, exciting times!:)
Not one of these videos shows you how to enter the dial focus mode. You guys assume too much, I've watched 10 videos on how to manually focus and none of you cover the basics of how to enter that mode. Frustrating. I cant switch between auto and manual, but how do you enter dial focus mode?
your comedy routines are very distracting
Yeah the low light footage looks grainy and the stabilization is awful :(
What a horrible intro....
