I have tried to watch 100 videos about the settings, This has by far showed me the most. I feel like I learned about things that you were not even teaching like exposure and frame rate etc... Really good stuff!!!!
I just got myself a ZV1 and I've watched a fair few settings run-through videos in the last week or so. This has honestly been the best one so far. Smashing!
@@DianaGladney Thanks Diana. One of the things I have done which you suggested, is using one of the memory slots to store my desired settings. The only downside to this, is that when you recall this within mode (e.g. M1) you cannot then change or set a custom white balance? This seems strange that the white balance would be completely locked when using the memory recall functions. Do you have any method of getting around this as it's driving me nuts! 🥜
So glad I found your channel! I had my camera for months trying to figure out how to adjust the settings. Very informative and detailed without it being to heavy, amazing job!
@@DianaGladney just went through your video step by step and set up my camera that arrived today!!! I wish you could make another video explaining more about the last bit - picture profile bit - the super nerdy stuff :))) . and thank you so much!!!
No worries, take a breath and relax. Learning video takes time and learning your camera takes time. Find 1 reason to use it every day and get consistent with just getting familiar with it. Where the buttons are, looking at the menu. It's kind of like driving and your first time on the road, it feels like it's infinite things to constantly and equally pay attention to. After a while you're driving with your knees and eating a taco while talking on the phone lol Hopefully not, but you get my meaning.
This video is awesome, I've looked at several videos regarding subject topic and this is by far the most informative. I wish I had seen this one first. I appreciate the thought and effort you put into making this video. It will make my journey with this camera much easier.
I believe I'm ready to use my camera. This was the best tutorial I've found yet. I'm new to this camera and you explained it so clearly....I was able to follow each step with clear understanding. :) Just what I needed.
This has been the most easy to follow tutorial I’ve found for this camera! Thanks you 😊 it’s also so nice to listen to a woman, I just realised I haven’t seen any other reviews from female creators!
Thank you for sharing that Gabrielle, I'm glad this was valuable for you! Yeah, it's not as many of us that may be as widely well known, but there are more and more women creators getting traction in the tech space which is awesome to see. Hopefully I'm not the only one that pops up in your TH-cam feed. 😊
Absolutely the most helpful video on TH-cam for the ZV1. I’ve had one of a few months but bought a 2nd one today and just need a refresher on setup but WOW!!! I learn something new so I ended up adjusting the settings on both. Thank you
Thank you for this clear, no nonsense video. I have enjoyed it immensely and it will be my "go to" when I need help! You do great work, thanks so much!
I just got this camera yesterday, bought as a result of think media videos. Your video got suggested to me literally as I’m waking up here in Dubai this morning, I love how succinct you are in giving the information especially for someone like me who doesn’t like stressing to figure out the smallest details I also see you’re very responsive to literally everyone in your comments section. That’s HUGE to see, lessons for me as I’m about to start my own TH-cam channel. Thanks so much for this awesome piece of content. I’d spend time following the guide you’ve provided here and if I need more information I’d rather just pay you for consultation so I can fast track the learning curve! Thanks once again 🥳🙌🏽
That’s awesome! Congrats on your new purchase! I always try my best to engage with those that take the time to comment to me, just trying to honor my folks as best as I can. 🙂 Glad this video was helpful for ya!
@@DianaGladney I already followed you on Instagram lol 😂. I used the settings and LOVE LOVE LOVE how my videos came out today when I recorded some content. Wayyyyy better than iPhone camera quality
I WISH you taught more about this camera I love your style. I want lessons on the setting for ahooting for the outdoors, you went over it but not in depth and just left most to standard and idk qhat settings to put it on for outdoors? I will be shooting a lot of daytime parks and hope ypu do more videos for this camera it's still liked by many of us. Please ,please
I hear ya but here's the reality of it, it doesn't matter what camera you're specifically using because learning to use that camera is still based on the same exact principles. Whether it's a tutorial utilizing the ZV-E10 or the ZV-1, the principles remain the same when it comes to learning video. It's comforting, I know, when the creator you're watching is using the same camera you own, but it's not going to change the advice I give in that specific video. Plus, from the menu system and software, menu setup, and button layout is all identical from the ZV-E10 or the ZV-1. So, you're not missing out on anything, the only difference between the cameras is one can swap lenses and has a larger sensor and the other has a fixed zoom lens with a smaller sensor, that's it. If you plan on using your camera outdoors or indoors, learning video elements like the exposure triangle (as taught here: th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html) remain the same in what video principles you apply. The only difference on some things is you might enable the built-in ND filter on your ZV-1 camera at times whereas on the ZV-E10 it'd be applied to the front of the lens. Hope that helps clear things up a bit.
Excellent information, well presented. I sought this info on some other channels and they skipped the parts about where the settings were in that maze of menus. I've since looked at several other videos on your channel. You're my new go-to.
I’m so glad to have helped Henry! I know how confusing it can be just starting off and that’s exactly why I create these videos as I do. If you have questions, feel free to ask! 😊
I just sub to you. Thank you so much. I changed my camera with all your settings. I love how it looks now. I had this camera for a year now. This is better for me now, because as an black man it makes my skin tone looks better. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear Stew! So glad you were able to get it dialed in for ya! Once you find great settings that work best for you, take a screenshot of it with your phone, so you always know what your default should be as you're getting more and more comfortable with your camera. And, Welcome to the Community! 🥳
@@DianaGladney I am glad to be here. I have been on TH-cam for one year, yet I am now looking to change things on my channel in order to expand my range. I am look at your master class video now. I once was a all male speaking channel yet I want to speak to a wider range of people. I grew by doing lots of live streams yet I am getting more in to video on demand. So your information is helping me. My question is, How to change audience without losing people who follow you now? I want to be able to sponsor products, I need a wider range of people. I hope I am making since. Again Thank you for your time.
Nice! Well, I think the thing to recognize is there is going to be some level of attrition that occurs as people lose interest in the new direction or choose to only tap into the videos that are of interest to them. I think broadening the audience in a way that's tasteful to the existing community can be accomplished if you can convey how it's relevant to their existing interest. For example, a channel on building car motors only could expand to other related and associated topics easily. Now, completely transitioning to health videos all of a sudden is a drastically different shift. I would say revisit what you want to cover in future videos and think through how is this topic related to or associated with what your audience is already interested in currently. It's an easier path to navigate that it may appear from the outside looking in.
Tank you very much for this Tutorial. The explanations helped me a lot and now I‘m ready to start ….. the User Manual is about 500 Pages 😮. Greetings from Germany - Klaus 😄🛎👍🏼
I'm glad this was helpful for you as well, Leola! 😊 Once you get your camera setup the best thing is to keep using it so you become more and more familiar with it.
Thanks Diana! I am about to press purchase on the ZV-1! Hoping i can use it for sort of an all in one camera for the time being. Live streams and vlogging type videos :) I appreciate all of your videos!!
Stumbled across your video when trying to figure out my audio for this camera! This was very helpful and I had a lot of settings to change. I think I'm ready for my next sneaker review, lol! Also, go Vikings! C/O 2006! :)
I'm so glad that you showed up on my recommended I got this camera for Christmas. I would love if you could do a video on how to connect your smartphone to your camera. Also what SD card or memory card do you use.
Yeah, it’s intentional with the battery life. That’s why the internal charging is awesome in the camera. It’s easy to top off. I don’t own more than 2 batteries to use with it even while traveling.
Yeah, once you're familiar with Sony, you get comfortable with setting up your camera as you prefer. It takes longer to record the video than it does if I were just setting up the camera myself lol.
@@DianaGladney thank you for your reply ! Mainly educational about productivity and wellbeing, all while being a doctor and have a busy lifestyle 😊 Check it out, I have few videos already. I love your videos btw and the quality 🤩
@@DianaGladney thank you so much! Actually if you can check my last video about motivation, i am still not satisfied with the focus/quality of the A roll ! Any additional tips?
It’s hard to be able to spot review a lot of video just because the volume of requests but I can suggest to you this, making your videos great takes a little time. If your A Roll quality isn’t where you want it be test different things out in short form videos. If it’s a camera thing, that takes some time to learn but use short videos to test various settings to dial it in for your environment and see why you enjoy best. Minor changes make a huge difference vs drastic settings charges.
Hello Ive watches most of your videos I have a zv1 hooked to a el gato cam link 4k and my obs camera video lags can you give me an idea what could be going on?
Sorry, but I don't use OBS, so I have zero idea about that program or how to troubleshoot issues with it. I'm not sure if it's a simple audio sync change or if it's a lack of necessary computer resources needed to stream using OBS without any issues. I'd recommend checking out Eposvox channel. He has entire videos on OBS.
Just went through your video step by step and set up my camera that arrived today!!! I wish you could make another video explaining more about the last bit - picture profile bit - the super nerdy stuff :))) . and thank you so much!!!
@@DianaGladney my sony zv1 doesn't want to connect to my MacBook pro anymore. it used to work after I followed your video and set it up but then boom - just stopped working. I tried changing settings again but nothing! does anyone know what can I DO? I tried different MacBooks and not working on any of them. I tried changing the usb connection to Auto - then MTP - not working on both. the camera does look like it gets power from the laptop but it wont show as connected with usb on the camera screen and also the laptop itself doesn't show it in external devices in finder. what can I do, I need help please.
Hey Diana, thanks so much for this and it was super helpful. I bought because of you earlier this year but now I’m having issues with using this for taking pictures for my TH-cam thumbnail, I’ve recommended this camera to so many of my friends but I don’t want to keep using my phone to make thumbnails when I can use this. But I don’t see any video on TH-cam specifically for using it for Shots, no videos go in-depth with it I’d really love if you can make one on this because I’m so sure so many people may have same interests. Thanks and God bless you Diana
Howdy! @Puzz Solv Sure, that’d be interesting! It is great for taking photos, I even recently used it for my nieces graduation. Any specific questions or issues you’d like addressed?
@@DianaGladney yes sure I’d love to know how to use the settings to get pictures taken. I used the setting you shared here for making videos but knowing how to use it for taking pictures, the proper setting and how to use it for shots is giving me headache lol. I ain’t that tech savvy
@@DianaGladney our focus is archiving for our future gen family members to get to know us... i've always wanted to know, in more depth about my gparents, and ggparents, etc.... so we will shoot a lot of family based moments... currently in Lake Tahoe about to wrap up our second story, and learning a lot about ISO lighting with all the snow up here...haha... so its a learning process... will definitely look to your channel for guidance... Mahalos..... Jason and Kelly......
That’s beautiful! I’ve said the same thing before many times of how great it’s be to have footage of grandparents and beyond. I love it! The camera tech stuff will come over time, and gets much easier day by day. Not to worry. 😊
This is my new TH-cam GirlFriend! I only cheat on you a little bit! I don't see too many who are interpersonal with their communication and just down to earth but awesome at the same damn time! i like you lady! You are the coolest! I'm gonna start binging on your old videos!
Thank you for this informative video, it was very helpful! I have the Sony ZV-1 and I film fashion videos and whenever I walk towards my camera, it becomes very dark and then when I walk further away from the camera, it becomes bright. So the lighting keeps adjusting/changing whenever I move. Is there a way that I could fix that and not have the light keep adjusting??
You’re very welcome! You may have an automatic setting enabled. Like auto ISO (the number in the bottom right of the camera screen) might be set to auto or something. When that’s happening you should see which number on your camera is changing. Or if you’re in a setting like Auto on the camera, that will allow the settings to constantly change. If you send me a photo of your camera screen with all the icons on over on Instagram I can tell you more specifically what it is. I also uploaded a video going over a similar issue for another subscribers that had a similar issue, that would be super helpful for you to watch as well: Camera Settings Constantly Changing in Your Videos? | Subscriber Q&A th-cam.com/video/98skujTVPf8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this but I feel you raced through the last part and I was lost. I ended adding things that I shouldn’t have. Would love a slower version of the last part. Even when I slow it down I still end up getting lost because it’s too fast 🙏✨
Sure, Are you referring to the My Menu page? I elected not to actually share that as more tutorial based because you’ll add whatever settings you specifically would like to access quickly. So what I use the most may not be what you’d enjoy or need more often. We can definitely look at revisiting this is taking it much slower. Thanks for sharing that in your comment.
my battery exhausted two times while doing this and i havent even finished.. i keep recahrging it but its a new camera so idk, thanks for the detailed instructions :)
Hmm...if in a 20-minute timeframe your battery died twice, something is seriously off. Even with the highest recording settings in 4k and everything the battery shouldn't die that quickly. I'd definitely sugging making sure you have a genuine Sony battery and not a 3rd party knockoff that "claims' it'll last just as long to make sure that's not happening.
Make sure all of your icons are viewable on the screen. Then, look around the screen and see what's enabled or disabled. The same stuff I have on-on my camera screen in this video is the same stuff you should see in yours. If it's not, then something else is enabled or disabled and it shouldn't be. If you're basically setting up your camera from out of the box and you follow this video your face/eye detection should be on. Now, lol if you did all that there's one small thing to check for which could be why you don't see it, you have Product Showcase mode enabled on your camera. When you have this enabled you will see these 4 little tick marks around the screen that basically frames a square outline. The autofocus mode changes when you're in Product Showcase mode. This is something you'll want to enable or disable as you need it. So if you're vlogging, turn it off. If you're doing a video or a segment of a video and need it, turn it on. Feel free to DM me a picture on IG (@DianaGladney) if you need help and still can't sort it out. It's likely something very small and easily fixable.
Hi, love your videos , thank you I just got my ZV-1 , I am trying to find if it is possible to save the zoom place. I am shooting in my home studio, I set my frame and zoom and shoot a side. Then I need to shut it off and take the memory card out. when I come back the camera opened into the regular zoom place and did not save my last zoom frame, so I need to manually find again my zoom place for the same frame. I am shooting many videos and need the exactly same frame. Any idea for a solution please?
Thank you! I’m glad the videos have been valuable for you! Congratulations on your new camera! 😊 So, that’s one of things where there are no settings changes for it to fix that issue, unfortunately. This can be a bit of a disappointment considering, as you stated, you have to resent the camera each time. The only solution I could suggest is based on the camera placement, if possible, change the tripod location to be closer or further away based on what you usually zoom into if it’s not too different. What I’ve done is just look for those in office “landmarks” of what I’d like in the frame and use that as my frame guideline. So, that could be a specific book on the bookshelf for example. There’s really not much you can do other than physically moving the cameras position or just re-zoom to the desired spot.
Yep, just recorded the video response for you tonight. So, expect to see it on the channel very soon! Short answer though, makes sure you have accurate colors represented so white colors actually look white versus some yellowish white and colors are correct. This also impacts your skin. You'll see in the video lol The wrong white balance can make you look really weird on camera lol
The settings shared in this video will help you optimize your camera for video. What actual recording frame rate or ISO, etc. is going to be based on your environment.
Hi Diana. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for ZV1, can we send you one to you to play with?
Hey Diana :) Thank you. I followed the settings for the ZV1. However, your video looks so good and I feel mine looks crap. I only have one light Digitek D416. But I'm tired of trying to figure out how to get the best YT quality. Also, when you record, do you USB Stream and record via computer, since I noticed you're using your USB microphone. Or do you record on the ZV1 with the mic (I use RODE micro video) and then transfer to the computer and edit and upload? Would love a response. Thank you. Appreciate you.
@Romit Jethwaney Here’s the honest truth Romot, no camera is going to look great if you don’t have proper lighting or are in a well lit space if you’re using natural light. It’s only then that adjusting the settings on the camera make sense because you’re adjusting the settings based on your environment. It’s not as easy as copying settings you see on TH-cam unfortunately. To learn what you need to change, Exposure Settings wise, to make your videos look the way you’d like. Give yourself some time to learn how to use what you purchased. th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html
Great video, i recently bought the ZV-1 and finding it difficult to see the screen during bright sunlight. i’m shooting in 100fps 100bit for slow motion in post. it is a real problem especially when i’m using the Crane M2 gimbal..
Did you enable the display mode for Sunny weather? I know some videographers invest in shields for camera screens so they can see the display, that’s probably the best option if you’re doing videography work.
I have been trying to understand the difference between 30p 50m, 30P 16M, and 24p 50M.. can someone please help me determine which is the best out of those three settings that will help me to still have great HD quality for vlogs or tutorials and can still preserve the battery/overheating issue this camera has?
Yeah sure. The first thing I'd recommend is an AC battery option that can connect to a battery bank or a wall outlet. Especially if you're recording long videos. (This is the option I've used for over a year: amzn.to/3Qxo5Ml) Secondly, to cover the video frame rates (the 24p, 30p, 60p, etc.) you'd choose whatever you personally want to use, there's no right or wrong option. I use 24p, most creators use 30p on TH-cam. (There's a video on the channel that covers settings, frame rates, etc. and explains all that for any camera.) If you're in the Movie Mode and your on the tab that says Movie1 (it's purple with a camera icon) and you're on page 1/9 You pick if you want HD or 4k on the File Format. If you want 1080p HD, pick XAVC S HD. Go down to the next option that says "Record Setting" to pick your frame rate. If you want 24p for the frame rate, pick the one that says "24p 50M". That means it'll record in 24 frames per second at 50Mbps or Megabits per Second. If you want to use "30p" use the option that says "30p 50M". A lower bit rate at these levels isn't going to make or break your battery life because you're looking at virtually no difference when it comes to your battery life when selecting the frames per second between 24p or 30p. Where it will hit is when you record your videos and the quality. The frame rate you use will impact what other settings you select on your camera and if you're new to all this, the next video I'd highly recommend you watch is my video where I cover all that stuff broken down to help beginners better understand how to set that stuff up on your camera: th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm pretty active in my comments section across videos.
When it comes to video, there are some really neat accessories you can pick up. We did an entire video covering that topic exactly! th-cam.com/video/vPlvhAdrsyc/w-d-xo.html
Hello Diana, been following you a bit. Questions, is this a good camera for live streaming? You have tried different cameras. I have used Canon but looking for others. What I'm looking for is: It doesn't shut down after 30 minutes, can connect to permanent power source, is HDMI clean output, can connect via USB to OBS easily. If you could please suggest if this is the right one that would be great. Thank you so much! Stella.
Hi Diana, thanks for this great video. I noticed some items are greyed out, how do we know what to do so to ungrey them? For example, my Exposure Mode is greyed out, tried changing modes and it stays the same. BTW, it is my first time using a camera and I had watched a tone of your videos before buying one.
Thank you @Blecyn Glad the video helped! If a setting is grayed out it means there's a mode or setting that is enabled on your camera currently preventing you from using one setting or another until it's disabled or changed. So, you should see on the Movie Tab (page 1/9) that you have 2 Exposure Modes, one for regular videos and the second listed for HFR or High Frame Rate. The second one will stay grayed out until you're actually in the High Frame Rate mode to set it and use it. If you're noticing the first Exposure Mode is disabled (has the movie reel icon next to it) then you're not in a mode that can adjust it manually like the Program Auto. Unless you want your camera in full auto mode for photos, then you can press the "Mode" button on the top of the camera, change it to "Movie" and then you can select Program Auto from there for Auto in the video mode or change it to Manual if you're trying to learn how to adjust it for your specific space.
@@DianaGladney thank you so much for taking out your precious time to give me this detailed explanation. Please when is the network tab and phone connectivity for zv-1 video coming out?
@madoda64 Thank you! You'll see picture profiles shown at the time stamp here in the video: th-cam.com/video/vvQMpCkr8Zc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2fQOydYSk5ZEehn3&t=274
Hey Ali, The audio isn’t going into the camera directly. This video was recorded using Ecamm Live. The Rodecaster Pro is connected to my computer, not the camera directly.
This video is amazing and I also have the song zv1 and I have a question. How can I change the picture settings? On my camera when I take selfies my face looks asymmetrical.
Hmm...I'm not exactly sure what you mean but if you mean rotating or flipping the image, go into the playback menu and adjust the image settings there to dictate how they show after an image is taken.
Hey so I love the soft skin feature, I reset my camera because I was having trouble with the display showing on the screen and couldn’t get it off , now my soft skin feature only gives me the option of “low “ of “ off “ how can I get it back to its original setting of “mid” ?
Very interesting question. I'd imagine that it depends on what settings you have your camera set to. I'd say check if have any of these features enabled that may be impacting your settings: bit.ly/3J5UxlS
Hi Diana, just found your video. Very useful fore me to get to grips with using it properly. I've had my camera about 6 months and have just used it for live streaming and zoom so far. But I want to use it to record my course lessons now. Having trouble with finding the playback to view the videos or photos. I thought it was the bottom left button below the dial that looks like a play button in a box. When I press that the screen goes black. I was advised to use an HD video capture lead but I still don't know how to download the footage to my Mac. The camera is plugged into the back of the Mac via this cable but there's no camera icon on my desktop?! Bit lost now ... can you help please?
Hi Diana, how will I remove the text in my monitor that says " Connect a USB cable. You can cancel the UBS streaming state by pressing Mode Button" when I am streaming? It consumes a fair bit of monitor space. Thanks
You can't. If you're live streaming, you will can adjust your settings before your connect to your camera and from there you'll have your clean feed on your main monitor on the screen. That message doesn't go away until you've chosen to exit that usb live streaming feature.
Dude... this was the most informative video I've found. I just bought a zv 1 and needed this exact video. Thank you

I’d spend time following the guide you’ve provided here and if I need more information I’d rather just pay you for consultation so I can fast track the learning curve! Thanks once again 🥳🙌🏽
That’s awesome! Congrats on your new purchase!
I always try my best to engage with those that take the time to comment to me, just trying to honor my folks as best as I can. 🙂
Glad this video was helpful for ya!
@@DianaGladney thanks for the response, I’m subscribed to your channel already. Looking forward to learning more
You’re very welcome!
@@DianaGladney I already followed you on Instagram lol 😂. I used the settings and LOVE LOVE LOVE how my videos came out today when I recorded some content. Wayyyyy better than iPhone camera quality
That's dope! So glad the content has helped you and you came over from IG! 💯
Best video on this product thank you sony should include this video with your purchase
Thank you! I’m glad this video helped.
Who knows, there may be a day I collaborate with Sony 😊
just got my sony ZV1 this is very helpful.......
Glad it’s helpful! 😊
indeed ! as a new user of a zv1 camera thanks a lot for a good tutorial 😊
That's great to hear! Glad this was helpful for you!
This was so so helpful. I have been struggling with this camera for a while now
Always a pleasure! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I WISH you taught more about this camera I love your style. I want lessons on the setting for ahooting for the outdoors, you went over it but not in depth and just left most to standard and idk qhat settings to put it on for outdoors? I will be shooting a lot of daytime parks and hope ypu do more videos for this camera it's still liked by many of us. Please ,please
I hear ya but here's the reality of it, it doesn't matter what camera you're specifically using because learning to use that camera is still based on the same exact principles. Whether it's a tutorial utilizing the ZV-E10 or the ZV-1, the principles remain the same when it comes to learning video.
It's comforting, I know, when the creator you're watching is using the same camera you own, but it's not going to change the advice I give in that specific video. Plus, from the menu system and software, menu setup, and button layout is all identical from the ZV-E10 or the ZV-1. So, you're not missing out on anything, the only difference between the cameras is one can swap lenses and has a larger sensor and the other has a fixed zoom lens with a smaller sensor, that's it.
If you plan on using your camera outdoors or indoors, learning video elements like the exposure triangle (as taught here: th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html) remain the same in what video principles you apply. The only difference on some things is you might enable the built-in ND filter on your ZV-1 camera at times whereas on the ZV-E10 it'd be applied to the front of the lens.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit.
What a smart and efficient tutorial! For you I would even let all the ads play through.
Why thank you Catherine! I appreciate that!
Girl you rocked my world, all the guidance you provided was precisely what I needed.
Glad to be of service! 😊
Wow, thank you so much! I've never changed the settings of a camera before, this was really helpful and explained everything!
You’re very welcome! Glad this helped.
Best video yet on this camera! Excellent stuff.
Glad it was helpful for you 😊
This is so helpful! I can now get started with settings with some comfort!
That is so awesome to hear! I’m excited for you!
Excellent information, well presented. I sought this info on some other channels and they skipped the parts about where the settings were in that maze of menus. I've since looked at several other videos on your channel. You're my new go-to.
I’m so glad to have helped Henry! I know how confusing it can be just starting off and that’s exactly why I create these videos as I do.
If you have questions, feel free to ask! 😊
Great video, simple and effective! Thank you
You’re very welcome! Glad this was helpful for you!
I just sub to you. Thank you so much. I changed my camera with all your settings. I love how it looks now. I had this camera for a year now. This is better for me now, because as an black man it makes my skin tone looks better. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear Stew! So glad you were able to get it dialed in for ya!
Once you find great settings that work best for you, take a screenshot of it with your phone, so you always know what your default should be as you're getting more and more comfortable with your camera.
And, Welcome to the Community! 🥳
@@DianaGladney I am glad to be here. I have been on TH-cam for one year, yet I am now looking to change things on my channel in order to expand my range. I am look at your master class video now. I once was a all male speaking channel yet I want to speak to a wider range of people. I grew by doing lots of live streams yet I am getting more in to video on demand. So your information is helping me. My question is, How to change audience without losing people who follow you now? I want to be able to sponsor products, I need a wider range of people. I hope I am making since. Again Thank you for your time.
Nice!
Well, I think the thing to recognize is there is going to be some level of attrition that occurs as people lose interest in the new direction or choose to only tap into the videos that are of interest to them.
I think broadening the audience in a way that's tasteful to the existing community can be accomplished if you can convey how it's relevant to their existing interest. For example, a channel on building car motors only could expand to other related and associated topics easily. Now, completely transitioning to health videos all of a sudden is a drastically different shift.
I would say revisit what you want to cover in future videos and think through how is this topic related to or associated with what your audience is already interested in currently. It's an easier path to navigate that it may appear from the outside looking in.
Very helpful and straight to the point. You rock🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks! Glad this video helped! 😊
Omggggg a black woman. Tech. Video. Yasssss.

Clear and most helpful. Thanks Diana!
You're very welcome! Glad this helped you get your camera setup!
Tank you very much for this Tutorial. The explanations helped me a lot and now I‘m ready to start ….. the User Manual is about 500 Pages 😮. Greetings from Germany - Klaus 😄🛎👍🏼
Thank you so much Klaus! 😊 Glad the video was helpful for you.
This video was bloody amazing! Thank you
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful for you!
Have to agree with Tashana Davis comments below. Supper informative and I too had my camera for months
I'm glad this was helpful for you as well, Leola! 😊
Once you get your camera setup the best thing is to keep using it so you become more and more familiar with it.
Thanks Diana! I am about to press purchase on the ZV-1! Hoping i can use it for sort of an all in one camera for the time being. Live streams and vlogging type videos :) I appreciate all of your videos!!
That’s awesome!! I’ve been using the ZV-1 almost daily the last several weeks, it’s a joy to use! I hope it works out well for you! 😊
This was a truly helpful and informative! Thanks for making it all so clear!! 🙏
You're very welcome!
Stumbled across your video when trying to figure out my audio for this camera! This was very helpful and I had a lot of settings to change. I think I'm ready for my next sneaker review, lol! Also, go Vikings! C/O 2006! :)
Care bare!! Good to see ya!!😊
Glad the video helped! Once you dial it in for you, the ZV-1 is even better! c/o ‘06!
Very detailed! Love it
I'm so glad that you showed up on my recommended I got this camera for Christmas. I would love if you could do a video on how to connect your smartphone to your camera. Also what SD card or memory card do you use.
Thank you! I learned a lot.
You're very welcome Assata!
Your video is great, you answered all my questions, be blessed
You're very welcome! So glad this video was valuable for you!
I enjoy everything about the zv1 expect the battery life
Yeah, it’s intentional with the battery life. That’s why the internal charging is awesome in the camera. It’s easy to top off. I don’t own more than 2 batteries to use with it even while traveling.
Thank you for sharing :) Only had my ZV-1 for a month and found this super helpful. So thank you so much.

Look and sound like you've spent some time, well a lot of time working with this camera.....Nice
Yeah, once you're familiar with Sony, you get comfortable with setting up your camera as you prefer. It takes longer to record the video than it does if I were just setting up the camera myself lol.
great tutorial thank you
I recently started a new channel and bought this camera for it.. hope to use it well
That's awesome Jay! Congrats on your new purchase!
What kind of content will you be creating on your channel?
@@DianaGladney thank you for your reply ! Mainly educational about productivity and wellbeing, all while being a doctor and have a busy lifestyle 😊
Check it out, I have few videos already.
I love your videos btw and the quality 🤩
Gotcha! If you have any questions feel free to ask Jay!
@@DianaGladney thank you so much! Actually if you can check my last video about motivation, i am still not satisfied with the focus/quality of the A roll ! Any additional tips?
It’s hard to be able to spot review a lot of video just because the volume of requests but I can suggest to you this, making your videos great takes a little time. If your A Roll quality isn’t where you want it be test different things out in short form videos. If it’s a camera thing, that takes some time to learn but use short videos to test various settings to dial it in for your environment and see why you enjoy best. Minor changes make a huge difference vs drastic settings charges.
Hello Ive watches most of your videos I have a zv1 hooked to a el gato cam link 4k and my obs camera video lags can you give me an idea what could be going on?
Sorry, but I don't use OBS, so I have zero idea about that program or how to troubleshoot issues with it.
I'm not sure if it's a simple audio sync change or if it's a lack of necessary computer resources needed to stream using OBS without any issues. I'd recommend checking out Eposvox channel. He has entire videos on OBS.
saving the video as you are fantastic and i'm getting my zv1 this week :) I need you 😂
Just went through your video step by step and set up my camera that arrived today!!! I wish you could make another video explaining more about the last bit - picture profile bit - the super nerdy stuff :))) . and thank you so much!!!
It's coming! Takes a bit of time getting through everything, but it's coming!
@@DianaGladney my sony zv1 doesn't want to connect to my MacBook pro anymore. it used to work after I followed your video and set it up but then boom - just stopped working. I tried changing settings again but nothing! does anyone know what can I DO? I tried different MacBooks and not working on any of them. I tried changing the usb connection to Auto - then MTP - not working on both. the camera does look like it gets power from the laptop but it wont show as connected with usb on the camera screen and also the laptop itself doesn't show it in external devices in finder. what can I do, I need help please.
Hey Diana, thanks so much for this and it was super helpful. I bought because of you earlier this year but now I’m having issues with using this for taking pictures for my TH-cam thumbnail, I’ve recommended this camera to so many of my friends but I don’t want to keep using my phone to make thumbnails when I can use this. But I don’t see any video on TH-cam specifically for using it for Shots, no videos go in-depth with it
I’d really love if you can make one on this because I’m so sure so many people may have same interests. Thanks and God bless you Diana
Howdy! @Puzz Solv Sure, that’d be interesting! It is great for taking photos, I even recently used it for my nieces graduation. Any specific questions or issues you’d like addressed?
@@DianaGladney yes sure I’d love to know how to use the settings to get pictures taken. I used the setting you shared here for making videos but knowing how to use it for taking pictures, the proper setting and how to use it for shots is giving me headache lol. I ain’t that tech savvy
Great info... Thank you.

Lol I’m glad the videos have been helpful for you.
Thank you for this informative video, it was very helpful! I have the Sony ZV-1 and I film fashion videos and whenever I walk towards my camera, it becomes very dark and then when I walk further away from the camera, it becomes bright. So the lighting keeps adjusting/changing whenever I move. Is there a way that I could fix that and not have the light keep adjusting??
You’re very welcome!
You may have an automatic setting enabled. Like auto ISO (the number in the bottom right of the camera screen) might be set to auto or something.
When that’s happening you should see which number on your camera is changing. Or if you’re in a setting like Auto on the camera, that will allow the settings to constantly change.
If you send me a photo of your camera screen with all the icons on over on Instagram I can tell you more specifically what it is.
I also uploaded a video going over a similar issue for another subscribers that had a similar issue, that would be super helpful for you to watch as well: Camera Settings Constantly Changing in Your Videos? | Subscriber Q&A
th-cam.com/video/98skujTVPf8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this but I feel you raced through the last part and I was lost. I ended adding things that I shouldn’t have. Would love a slower version of the last part. Even when I slow it down I still end up getting lost because it’s too fast 🙏✨
Sure, Are you referring to the My Menu page?
I elected not to actually share that as more tutorial based because you’ll add whatever settings you specifically would like to access quickly.
So what I use the most may not be what you’d enjoy or need more often. We can definitely look at revisiting this is taking it much slower. Thanks for sharing that in your comment.
Thank you 👏🏾
You’re very welcome!
Excellent video! You remind me of someone that would be on Think Media, but way more detailed keep it up!
Thank you! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Did you just recently pick up the ZV-1?
@@DianaGladney sure thing and yes I did!
Awesome! Congrats on your new purchase!
@@DianaGladney thanks so much!
Sure thing!
my battery exhausted two times while doing this and i havent even finished.. i keep recahrging it but its a new camera so idk, thanks for the detailed instructions :)
Hmm...if in a 20-minute timeframe your battery died twice, something is seriously off. Even with the highest recording settings in 4k and everything the battery shouldn't die that quickly.
I'd definitely sugging making sure you have a genuine Sony battery and not a 3rd party knockoff that "claims' it'll last just as long to make sure that's not happening.
Im not sure why my Face and Eye selection won't turn on. It says This operation or setting not available as follows 🤔
Make sure all of your icons are viewable on the screen. Then, look around the screen and see what's enabled or disabled. The same stuff I have on-on my camera screen in this video is the same stuff you should see in yours. If it's not, then something else is enabled or disabled and it shouldn't be. If you're basically setting up your camera from out of the box and you follow this video your face/eye detection should be on.
Now, lol if you did all that there's one small thing to check for which could be why you don't see it, you have Product Showcase mode enabled on your camera. When you have this enabled you will see these 4 little tick marks around the screen that basically frames a square outline. The autofocus mode changes when you're in Product Showcase mode. This is something you'll want to enable or disable as you need it. So if you're vlogging, turn it off. If you're doing a video or a segment of a video and need it, turn it on.
Feel free to DM me a picture on IG (@DianaGladney) if you need help and still can't sort it out. It's likely something very small and easily fixable.
Hi, love your videos , thank you
I just got my ZV-1 , I am trying to find if it is possible to save the zoom place. I am shooting in my home studio, I set my frame and zoom and shoot a side. Then I need to shut it off and take the memory card out. when I come back the camera opened into the regular zoom place and did not save my last zoom frame, so I need to manually find again my zoom place for the same frame. I am shooting many videos and need the exactly same frame. Any idea for a solution please?
Thank you! I’m glad the videos have been valuable for you!
Congratulations on your new camera! 😊
So, that’s one of things where there are no settings changes for it to fix that issue, unfortunately.
This can be a bit of a disappointment considering, as you stated, you have to resent the camera each time.
The only solution I could suggest is based on the camera placement, if possible, change the tripod location to be closer or further away based on what you usually zoom into if it’s not too different.
What I’ve done is just look for those in office “landmarks” of what I’d like in the frame and use that as my frame guideline. So, that could be a specific book on the bookshelf for example.
There’s really not much you can do other than physically moving the cameras position or just re-zoom to the desired spot.
FIRE!!!! Thanks Diana
My pleasure!! 😊
can you please explain the purpose of white balance?
Yep, just recorded the video response for you tonight. So, expect to see it on the channel very soon!
Short answer though, makes sure you have accurate colors represented so white colors actually look white versus some yellowish white and colors are correct. This also impacts your skin. You'll see in the video lol The wrong white balance can make you look really weird on camera lol
I plan to use the zv1 to record interviews and B-roll in the field. In your opinion are these the settings to use?
The settings shared in this video will help you optimize your camera for video. What actual recording frame rate or ISO, etc. is going to be based on your environment.
Hi Diana. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for ZV1, can we send you one to you to play with?
That’s awesome! Thanks for the offer but I’d have to respectfully decline.
What’s the best setting for a sooc video no editing required? Just for casual everyday family videos
Very nice
Thank you!
Hey Diana :) Thank you. I followed the settings for the ZV1. However, your video looks so good and I feel mine looks crap. I only have one light Digitek D416. But I'm tired of trying to figure out how to get the best YT quality. Also, when you record, do you USB Stream and record via computer, since I noticed you're using your USB microphone. Or do you record on the ZV1 with the mic (I use RODE micro video) and then transfer to the computer and edit and upload? Would love a response. Thank you. Appreciate you.
@Romit Jethwaney Here’s the honest truth Romot, no camera is going to look great if you don’t have proper lighting or are in a well lit space if you’re using natural light. It’s only then that adjusting the settings on the camera make sense because you’re adjusting the settings based on your environment. It’s not as easy as copying settings you see on TH-cam unfortunately.
To learn what you need to change, Exposure Settings wise, to make your videos look the way you’d like. Give yourself some time to learn how to use what you purchased.
th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial!~ Thanks you
My pleasure!
Great vid but why set power save to 30 minutes?!
Because sometimes it’s an inconvenience turn the camera back vs just letting it stay on.
Great video, i recently bought the ZV-1 and finding it difficult to see the screen during bright sunlight. i’m shooting in 100fps 100bit for slow motion in post. it is a real problem especially when i’m using the Crane M2 gimbal..
Did you enable the display mode for Sunny weather?
I know some videographers invest in shields for camera screens so they can see the display, that’s probably the best option if you’re doing videography work.
I have been trying to understand the difference between 30p 50m, 30P 16M, and 24p 50M.. can someone please help me determine which is the best out of those three settings that will help me to still have great HD quality for vlogs or tutorials and can still preserve the battery/overheating issue this camera has?
Yeah sure. The first thing I'd recommend is an AC battery option that can connect to a battery bank or a wall outlet. Especially if you're recording long videos. (This is the option I've used for over a year: amzn.to/3Qxo5Ml)
Secondly, to cover the video frame rates (the 24p, 30p, 60p, etc.) you'd choose whatever you personally want to use, there's no right or wrong option. I use 24p, most creators use 30p on TH-cam. (There's a video on the channel that covers settings, frame rates, etc. and explains all that for any camera.)
If you're in the Movie Mode and your on the tab that says Movie1 (it's purple with a camera icon) and you're on page 1/9 You pick if you want HD or 4k on the File Format. If you want 1080p HD, pick XAVC S HD.
Go down to the next option that says "Record Setting" to pick your frame rate.
If you want 24p for the frame rate, pick the one that says "24p 50M". That means it'll record in 24 frames per second at 50Mbps or Megabits per Second. If you want to use "30p" use the option that says "30p 50M".
A lower bit rate at these levels isn't going to make or break your battery life because you're looking at virtually no difference when it comes to your battery life when selecting the frames per second between 24p or 30p. Where it will hit is when you record your videos and the quality.
The frame rate you use will impact what other settings you select on your camera and if you're new to all this, the next video I'd highly recommend you watch is my video where I cover all that stuff broken down to help beginners better understand how to set that stuff up on your camera: th-cam.com/video/yFBeH-4mWvk/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm pretty active in my comments section across videos.
What are good accessories to own or purchase?
When it comes to video, there are some really neat accessories you can pick up. We did an entire video covering that topic exactly! th-cam.com/video/vPlvhAdrsyc/w-d-xo.html
Hello Diana, been following you a bit. Questions, is this a good camera for live streaming? You have tried different cameras. I have used Canon but looking for others.
What I'm looking for is: It doesn't shut down after 30 minutes, can connect to permanent power source, is HDMI clean output, can connect via USB to OBS easily.
If you could please suggest if this is the right one that would be great. Thank you so much! Stella.
good video
Thank you! I’m glad it helped! 😊
Hi Diana, thanks for this great video. I noticed some items are greyed out, how do we know what to do so to ungrey them? For example, my Exposure Mode is greyed out, tried changing modes and it stays the same. BTW, it is my first time using a camera and I had watched a tone of your videos before buying one.
Thank you @Blecyn Glad the video helped!
If a setting is grayed out it means there's a mode or setting that is enabled on your camera currently preventing you from using one setting or another until it's disabled or changed.
So, you should see on the Movie Tab (page 1/9) that you have 2 Exposure Modes, one for regular videos and the second listed for HFR or High Frame Rate. The second one will stay grayed out until you're actually in the High Frame Rate mode to set it and use it.
If you're noticing the first Exposure Mode is disabled (has the movie reel icon next to it) then you're not in a mode that can adjust it manually like the Program Auto.
Unless you want your camera in full auto mode for photos, then you can press the "Mode" button on the top of the camera, change it to "Movie" and then you can select Program Auto from there for Auto in the video mode or change it to Manual if you're trying to learn how to adjust it for your specific space.
@@DianaGladney thank you so much for taking out your precious time to give me this detailed explanation. Please when is the network tab and phone connectivity for zv-1 video coming out?

Dear Diana, how did you get the sound from your Shure SM7B/Rodecaster Pro for this video? How did you connect this XLR mic to the camera?
Hey Ali,
The audio isn’t going into the camera directly. This video was recorded using Ecamm Live. The Rodecaster Pro is connected to my computer, not the camera directly.
@@DianaGladney I see. Thank you very much.
Sure thing!
this video was recorded with the sony zv1?
This video was actually recorded with the Sony a6400.
This video is amazing and I also have the song zv1 and I have a question. How can I change the picture settings? On my camera when I take selfies my face looks asymmetrical.
Hmm...I'm not exactly sure what you mean but if you mean rotating or flipping the image, go into the playback menu and adjust the image settings there to dictate how they show after an image is taken.
Hey so I love the soft skin feature, I reset my camera because I was having trouble with the display showing on the screen and couldn’t get it off , now my soft skin feature only gives me the option of “low “ of “ off “ how can I get it back to its original setting of “mid” ?
Very interesting question. I'd imagine that it depends on what settings you have your camera set to.
I'd say check if have any of these features enabled that may be impacting your settings: bit.ly/3J5UxlS
@@DianaGladney thanks so much
My pleasure!! 😊
Hi Diana, just found your video. Very useful fore me to get to grips with using it properly. I've had my camera about 6 months and have just used it for live streaming and zoom so far. But I want to use it to record my course lessons now. Having trouble with finding the playback to view the videos or photos. I thought it was the bottom left button below the dial that looks like a play button in a box. When I press that the screen goes black. I was advised to use an HD video capture lead but I still don't know how to download the footage to my Mac. The camera is plugged into the back of the Mac via this cable but there's no camera icon on my desktop?! Bit lost now ... can you help please?
Helpful video
Glad it helped!
Hi Diana, how will I remove the text in my monitor that says " Connect a USB cable. You can cancel the UBS streaming state by pressing Mode Button" when I am streaming? It consumes a fair bit of monitor space. Thanks
You can't. If you're live streaming, you will can adjust your settings before your connect to your camera and from there you'll have your clean feed on your main monitor on the screen. That message doesn't go away until you've chosen to exit that usb live streaming feature.
