Killing it. Can't find anything else for compact hybrid usage. About €500 used now with cage, batteries, wide angle. I'd take the pocket 3 if I didn't need the 24-70mm photo option - but I do. Excellent coverage on your channel, thanks, on my way through all of it now. Good man.
The setup was overwhelming for me as a new camera user. You're walk-through is the most detailed and easiest to understand I have seen after watching several other videos first. Thank you your channel is very helpful.
My ZV1 arrived today and got it set up in a few minutes as opposed to the six months or so it would normally have taken me. muchas gracias as I think they say in your part of the world.
Wow - thank you! I've watched dozens of reviews and videos about the ZV-1 and almost all are just spouting the same basic fluff and don't give much of value. Found this camera at hugely reduced price for new year and I like to research DEEP before a purchase so there aren't surprises... Instant sub from me! Keep up the good work. :)
I bought the ZV1 for my channel because of your excellent reviews. Always impressed with your style and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work and thank you!!
Super helpful video, Vic. Thanks very much! After seeing so much of your impressive footage from the ZV-1, I completely trust your guidance on the video (and picture) settings. Sending thanks and well wishes from San Diego, California. 🇮🇪
@@VicBarry hi. Can you tell me what setting I should look at if brightness is an issue? If you watch my Vulcan model build part 10 you’ll see it’s a little dark? I have now used the zebra function following your advice but is there something else?
@@VicBarry absolutely . used iPhone to film but it’s very difficult to improve quality to next level. It’s difficult to control over exposure . I got this camera because i saw it’s reviews it’s good for beginner . Will continue to watch your upcoming content . Thanks again
Wow!!! So helpful... I always get excited when you do a video because you are so easy to follow and you also seem very honest. Just bought my Sony zv1 and it’s a true gem!

Vic Barry Its my pleasure... Your channel stands out to me the most as it relates to your content! I think that you are on an awesome track and hitting great points and the features. I am have spent many dollars based on your opinions! And I enjoy your channel immensely! Thank you so much for your content! We need you Vic!
Good morning. Thank you for your videos, they are very entertaining and with good information. I have a question about the Sony ZV1: Is it normal for the noise of the AF motor to sneak into the audio of the videos? I changed the first unit that came to me for that reason, and the same thing happens to me with the replacement. Thank you so much!
Hey Marino, you’re welcome 🙏 Yes. It’s normal to hear the zoom motor but not the af. Unless I’m losing my hearing I haven’t heard the AF motor in any video.
Dear Vic, a big big THANK YOU for this video. I was struggling with these settings a lot, and the way you explained them has just made things clear. I'm so happy your video popped in my recommendations. I will no longer be looking at my ZV1 with that "anticipating confusion" look - the way I always looked at it before.
Hi Vic, I don't know if you know the answer or have ever come across this problem. I accidentally deleted 4gb of video from my Sony ZV 1 memory card. Ok not a problem I managed to recover using disk drill, but now quick time won't play it and I can't import it to premiere pro. I could cry. I can't open it or convert it to something else. 🤦♂️ I feel like there is a reason. I'm maybe missing something. Any ideas?
Ouch. Not sure I can help here dude but recovery software can be hit and miss especially around video. Try converting it Adobe media encoder. Failing that see can you try and get it into handbrake and convert there. Failing that try and see will VLC play it. Let me know how those options work out
@@VicBarry Vic Thanks for the reply, the only thing I hadn't tried was media encoder, I ve tried that now but unfortunately it's definitely a goner. I learned a valuable lesson at least. Next time I'll take a spare memory card instead of deleting stuff to free up space. thanks for the reply once again, and I am learning a lot from the channel. thank you
Great video Vic. One question I hope you can answer for us. When using the ZV-1 as a web cam, how do I turn off mirroring on my Sony ZV-1 that I see on the LCD display?
Hey Vic - this video was really helpful. You’re great at explaining things! I have a big question about this camera (we’ll, it’s big and important for me 🤷🏻♀️) - sometimes, but not always I have a little icon in the top left corner of a imported clip (into iMovie) that looks like a sun in a grey square. When it’s recorded in this setting, I can’t seem to speed up a clip without it being horribly choppy and fragmented looking. I’m not sure what this is, how I’m doing it, or how to change it AND I’ve watched so many Sony zv1 tutorials to try and see someone talk about this, but all to no avail! Do you have any idea about this and can help me out? Thank you! (It seems to import the clip in turtle mode and has a fancy feature of speeding up and slowing down a clip all on its own, and trying to change it out of that setting is near impossible for me). So confused. Is it a shutter priority thing? 🤔😩
@@VicBarry no. In 1080p and it was in 120p 60M (whatever that means! Haha). I had it on shutter priority and 1/50. I was having problems before where I would want to custom speed up a clip depending on what I was doing, and the clip was super choppy. So I asked someone about it, and he said to do the 1/50 setting with shutter priority. I’m mostly filming me doing a project, not vlogging stuff so much, so I wanted it to be flexible and didn’t think I needed 4K. Maybe I should just reset the whole camera back to the original settings? But it’s strange. I’ve tried changing the settings to auto program, from the 120p 100M to 60p 50M, and it still has that setting on there. I have NO idea how it got there. It brings the clip down into the turtle mode with little movie clip icons in the middle of the clip. Do you even know what I’m talking about? Ever seen it before? It’s like a little feature setting and of left as is, it’s a slow motion clip but the last section it ramps back up to normal speed. Thank you for getting back to me!
Do you have videos where you explain in detail and for beginners what frames per second, resolution, shutter speed and all those variables mean? I may get the Sony ZV-1 but all these topics are new to me and a bit overwhelming trying to learn how to use the camera plus understanding the definitions at the same time. Thanks in advance.
I searched all of youtube for a video like this, to go through everything and explain everything so I know what to do. Subbed! Also just a side question: I live in the UK, and we are on PAL, apparently I should film things in 25P. Can I shoot 30P on this camera indoors with lights, without any flickering problems? Also I use my phone as a second camera and it does 24p, 30p, 60p. So it is a challenge to get footage that syncs up perfectly. I want real time footage on both my phone and camera without having to slow anything down, What is the best solution for this? Can i shoot 24p on my phone and this camera? Can I shoot 25p on this camera and 24p on my phone and it will be fine? Can I mix both 30p on my phone and camera , but if it is indoors will there be a flickering lights issue as I am in the UK. My brain is fried. Please help. Thanks.
Thanks Vic, for the setting content. I took this to a month long vacation to Asia, going from Singapore, Bali, Thailand, and Vietnam. This was my main vlogging camera. Recording in 1080P, with Active Stabilization on. Now looking back at my footages I notice, majority of my footages are very shaky and jittery. When I'm walking the footages are so shaky that it's unusable. Even when I am holding it still, and talking to the camera there's shakiness, and jittery. Am I doing something wrong in the setting?
Thanks Vic. I'm new to vlogging, plus I was going for 30 days, so I thought 1080 would be easier for me and help with external storage space. I'll try to see if 4K is any different. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video. It made it easy for me to understand the camera setting, and learn more about my camera. Much appreciation ! P.s of you read this comment, can you help me with turning on the stead shooting, it’s dimmed 😌
This was great. Thank you. Do you have any idea why under my 4K record settings I only have two possibilities 25p 100M and 25p 60M ? Yiou have 4 options shown in the video.
On the ZV-1, HLG2 is decent enough if you're doing some color grading, but to be honest, unless you're planning on doing that, then no picture profile looks pretty great!
Hey Vic i just bought this camera yesterday. On my record settings for 4K it only gives me 2 options for frame rate and its not the ones in the video? Any advice on how to fix that
@vic barry, please take us through the sony modes including manual exposure, program auto exposure in video mode. Love your video's. Its become my go to for the ZV-1
Thanks!! I have a question, I've been trying to figure out how to mount my ZV1 on my 32inch monitor. You know how the C922 logitech web cam just balances itself on any monitor, if there was a similar way to do that with the ZV1, would be great! Any thoughts on mounting without a tripod directly on the monitor. I have a 32 inch Benq Monitor 3280U. Any advise would be great!
Dear Vic Barry, how do I change autofocus/re-autofocus while I’m shooting video on the Sony ZV-1? Also, what programs do you use for post-processing video? Could you do a hands-on video on that?
Great Video Vic. I have just taken delivery of the ZV-1. I have purchased a SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro. On Choosing the XAVC S 4K file format it only gives mean the Record Settings two options 25p 100M and 25p 60M. Can you suggest which I should use?
Hey there, if you switch from PAL to NTSC you’ll get the other options. Just keep in mind that you’ll have tonformate the card when you switch from one region to the other
Hey Vic, love your advices on Sony ZV 1. I use this camera for travel vlogging while walking around the places with different surroundings, sunlight, clods, foggy, snow etc. what pictures profile should I be using in order to use and enhance colors using LUTs in post? I am confused about SLOG and HLG3. Or should I just not use any picture profile? Thanks 🙏
Hey Archie, awesome stuff. To be honest slog3 isn’t really suited to the ZV1 as it’s 8 but color. I’ve found HLG2 is decent enough. Again you can’t push it a tonne but you can definitely work with it.
@@VicBarry great, thanks. Is it suitable to set and forget? I am not into color grading and color correcting, just want to shoot and don’t do any color grading, or use a LUT. Do you think I can use HLG?
Great Video! Thank you learned a ton. I am trying to figure out on Audio Recording Level, why I can't see levels.I push it and it says Shoot mode or Program Auto and mine is on Program and cant change it. Thoughts
Hey Tanya, you have to enable audio levels in the menus and then you have to press the display button once you're in a camera mode to show the levels. Each time you press the display button, it cycles through different elements on the screen, the audio levels won't appear on every one, so if you don't see them first, press it again. Does that make sense?
@@VicBarry I am on Movie 3 in menus. Then I toggle down to Audio Rec Levels and its grey and a dash. That is where it says Program Mode. And Audio Recording is ON.
Hey Tanya, you need to be in movie mode for audio levels to be available in the menus. That's why you're seeing the dash. So, press mode until you're in movie mode. Then hit menu and go to the audio levels.
Hi Barry love your channel, I have recently purchased a ZV1 and when I go in to 4K I only have 2 options 25P 100M and 25P 60M its not the same as your menu
Is there any reason to use 'movie' mode over normal picture mode but with video? I tend to shoot in shutter priority to get that film blur, but can do so in either movie S mode or picture S mode. Any advantages to one over the other?
@@VicBarry Yeah exactly. I could make a movie two ways: be in "shutter priority" mode and click the movie record button OR be in "movie" mode and click the record button. The advantage I see of shutter priority is then I can also take photos between video shoots, while in movie mode I can't take photos. Is the other advantage simply that you can re-configure the menus/buttons differently between the two modes? Anything I'm missing? P.S. Thanks for the tip to hit 'Fn' while in the menus. I did not know that!
@@PureGlide Gotcha, the menu functions / settings are very different for video mode and photo mode, so depending on what mode you're in, you may have different functionality. You can cusomtize the menus for each one, even for the fn button, but to display the video functions by pressing the fn button, you must be in video mode and not photo mode, if that makes sense.
Hi Vic, I know this is an old video but a great tutorial. I purchased the ZV1 about 4 months ago. I’d a problem with the battery this week & now the shutter keeps opening & closing when I turn the camera on. Any idea why this is happening & how I might fix it? Thanks, Maeve
The battery exhausted. I managed to charge it back but it died again after a 30 minute video & I had it plugged in to charge while filming. It seemed to not take the charge again & then the shutter problem started. I purchased a new battery & tried that today but the problem is still there. Really appreciate you replying. Thanks. I’ll contact Sony.
@@VicBarry Unfortunately it uses it at its 10%, only automatically because I am not an expert in photogracy and although many things are trivial I do not know them;)
Hi Vic Really top video. I have a zv-1 and don't get the option to film in 30fps...it just doesn't appear. I read something about pal and NTSC but not entirely sure. Also, i'm sure when i got the camera i was able to set it to 30fps. Just wondered if you have any ideas as in your video, you clearly have that option.
I'm a geriatric, neophyte videographer, so I really appreciated your presentation... thank you! It was very helpful! I'm in the process of establishing a channel, and want good quality video.In addition to the ZV-1 for close-ups, I have also decided to purchase the Sony A7siii. Am I making good choices? (I need two cameras because I will often use split screen images.)
Vic I am trying to figure out if I could use the Sony ZV-1 for a traveling interview camera. I do corporate interviews and talking head interviews. I like the one button Bokeh button that might be just enough to add that look to my interviews. I have seen hundreds of V1 Vlogger reviews but I have yet to see anyone using it a a 2 person interview in a studio or run and gun office setup. If you have the time I would love to see how it might do.
Hey Glenn, hhhhhmmmmm...I'm not sure to be honest. I can certainly try it. But first thoughts are that the one touch bokeh button will instantly change your shutter speed so depending on what the other camera is then you'll have 2 very different frame rates possibly, which may seem a bit jarring for the viewer. But that aside, as long as the scene is well lit, I don't see why it can't work. Again, depending on what the other camera is, you might be making more work for yourself to color match 2 different cameras. If it's all Sony, then, it's gonna be a bit easier. Leave that one with me for a few days and I'll see what I can come up with
@@VicBarry I was thinking. of buying 2 Sony ZV-1's for that reason. I do use Sony A7 III but they are my studio cameras and I hate taking them all over the world and I never know when someone is going to request that I shoot an interview or now a Podcast. Everything must be small to get under the 50lb weight limit and the size limits that brings. I have already had one A7 III stolen and I can't tell you how may times I have had my luggage lost. The issue is that I have seen reviews that say for the Bokeh you have to be right on top of the subject and that get's hard to do on the A camera but eaiser on the B camera. If the Bokeh on the main camera is non-existent and the B camera is good that may still an issue. I can but 2 Z1's fr the price of almost every other camera out there considering the lenses. That's for the advice, love your UA-cam channel.
Hey Glenn, I’ve shot quite a number of testimonials last year (none this year because of the obvious) fro London to New York and I’d always carry my gear on the flight. Normally it’s 2 of us travelling. Usually it’s a GH5 and an S1H. Audio recorder, batteries etc. The only thing we’d check in is a suitcase with clothes and a few tripods. Lights etc are in the carry on too. It works quite well and the words “commercial camera gear” works wonders. Personally, for pro work I’d be very unlikely to use a ZV1 for an interview situation to be honest. The sensor, compared to the A7III is not even in the same league. On the bokeh side of things, that’s directly related to the lens you’re using and more importantly the sensor size. The one touch bokeh is a nice touch but as mentioned it’ll change the shutter speed to whatever it needs to pull off the effect and to get any decent DOF you’ll need some serious distance between your talent and the background. Hope this helps
Thank you for this! I'm finally going from video on my phone to a camera haha! What tripod do you use that can do overhead shots as well as straight on?
Hi Vic, I need your help, my record settings are way to different from yours, is that even possible, what should I do to get the same settings, I don't have 120fps I'm really worried. Please help me
Hey there 👋 for the ZV1 keep the aperture at 1.8 and the shutter speed at 1/50 and mess around with the ISO to get the best image. High iso will bring more noise to the image but see what looks good for you 👍
Hey man, great videos. You've been a serious help. You mentioned briefly setting up a proxy in premiere. Been looking for a decent tutorial on it for a while, everything I find just doesn't quite cut it. Any chance you have a link for your own proxy tutorial?
I had a couple questions since you seem so knowledgable about this camera. I have the Rode wireless go and when I plug it in I am not getting sound from my mic. Also, I was thinking about getting the Pico Mic which is Bluetooth but I also use the Vlog Handle which is also Bluetooth so I was wondering would I be able to use the Bluetooth microphone while also using the Bluetooth vlogging handle?
Hey there, a direct Bluetooth mic should work if you’re recording to a phone but there is no Bluetooth recording option within the camera. As for the Rose, adjust the audio levels to max in the camera and the Rode to see where the problem lies. Let me know how it works out
Is the Sony ZV-1 still relevant nearly 3 years on ua-cam.com/video/syqzTiPizmY/v-deo.html
Does anyone know how to turn off the zooming in sound
You can’t. It’s the motor in the camera
@@VicBarry hey Vic what do I do when I press the record button and it just automatically zooms in ALOT 😅😅

Do you have videos where you explain in detail and for beginners what frames per second, resolution, shutter speed and all those variables mean?
I may get the Sony ZV-1 but all these topics are new to me and a bit overwhelming trying to learn how to use the camera plus understanding the definitions at the same time. Thanks in advance.
Great video, very useful! Where on earth is the setting to enable the on screen horizontal tilt meter you have??? Shown behind the grid at 8:31
Hey Joe, if you keep pressing Display. It’s normally the up button on the dial. Keep pressing that until it shows up. If you can’t find it let me know
@@VicBarry That did the trick. I'm a Sony rookie!
Awesome stuff Joe. Enjoy the cam 🙏💪👍
Just got mine in the mail today. So psyched to dive in tomorrow!

How to master manual focus in the Sony ZV-1 (It's kinda hidden within the camera) ua-cam.com/video/CbcpbqmOnis/v-deo.html
I searched all of youtube for a video like this, to go through everything and explain everything so I know what to do. Subbed! Also just a side question: I live in the UK, and we are on PAL, apparently I should film things in 25P. Can I shoot 30P on this camera indoors with lights, without any flickering problems? Also I use my phone as a second camera and it does 24p, 30p, 60p. So it is a challenge to get footage that syncs up perfectly. I want real time footage on both my phone and camera without having to slow anything down, What is the best solution for this? Can i shoot 24p on my phone and this camera? Can I shoot 25p on this camera and 24p on my phone and it will be fine? Can I mix both 30p on my phone and camera , but if it is indoors will there be a flickering lights issue as I am in the UK. My brain is fried. Please help. Thanks.
Hi I’m my Sony Zv1 in 4K not showing 24 frame or 30 just showing 25.
Hey there, if you change the region from pal to ntsc you’ll get those options
@@VicBarry thank you so. And which will give good video quality. pal or Ntsc and pls suggest me. And how to change it
@@ibrahimbadhusha5712 Both give the same quality just different frame rates. How to change it is in this video
Thanks Vic, for the setting content. I took this to a month long vacation to Asia, going from Singapore, Bali, Thailand, and Vietnam. This was my main vlogging camera. Recording in 1080P, with Active Stabilization on. Now looking back at my footages I notice, majority of my footages are very shaky and jittery. When I'm walking the footages are so shaky that it's unusable. Even when I am holding it still, and talking to the camera there's shakiness, and jittery. Am I doing something wrong in the setting?
Hey 👋 I’d hazard a guess it’s because it’s 1080p. Shooting in 4k allows the stabilization to crop in slightly and help with the shot
Thanks Vic. I'm new to vlogging, plus I was going for 30 days, so I thought 1080 would be easier for me and help with external storage space. I'll try to see if 4K is any different. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video. It made it easy for me to understand the camera setting, and learn more about my camera. Much appreciation ! P.s of you read this comment, can you help me with turning on the stead shooting, it’s dimmed 😌
Thank you so much! This is so helpful and fun video to learn!
Awesome. Thanks Kim. Glad you found it useful 👍 let me know if there’s something I missed or something you’d like to learn
thank you extremely helpful
No probs. Glad it helped 🔥
This was great. Thank you. Do you have any idea why under my 4K record settings I only have two possibilities 25p 100M and 25p 60M ? Yiou have 4 options shown in the video.
Hi Mark, that's the only options you have in 4K. For the other speeds like 120P etc. you have to be in Full HD mode
Dear @Vic Barry, thanks a lot about tutorial. Can you tell how can I mirror the lcd panel to my computer screen ??
Hey Vic, how can I remove the settings of my camera zooming in once I press record? 😊
Hi! What about the rest of the setting options? THANK YOU SO MUCH BY THE WAY
Hey there. There’s over 40 Sony zv-1 vids on my channel. I’m sure you’ll find what you need.
Love your videos…. One thing. In video, what picture profile do think is best?
On the ZV-1, HLG2 is decent enough if you're doing some color grading, but to be honest, unless you're planning on doing that, then no picture profile looks pretty great!
This is really helpful. Thank you so much!
Hey Wulan, no problem. So happy you found it useful. If there is a particular tutorial around the Sony ZV-1 you'd like to see, let me know ;)
Helpful video and awesome shirt.
Thank you :)
Hey Vic i just bought this camera yesterday. On my record settings for 4K it only gives me 2 options for frame rate and its not the ones in the video? Any advice on how to fix that
Hey Elie, congrats on the new camera 🙏 Change the region settings to ntsc and you’ll be sorted 🔥
@@VicBarry thankk youuuu
@vic barry, please take us through the sony modes including manual exposure, program auto exposure in video mode. Love your video's. Its become my go to for the ZV-1
Hey there, good suggestion! I'll add it to my list of vids!!! Thanks man!
can you check it support touch focus during video recording, please..
Hey there. It does indeed has touch focus
@@VicBarry thanks dear..
Thanks!! I have a question, I've been trying to figure out how to mount my ZV1 on my 32inch monitor. You know how the C922 logitech web cam just balances itself on any monitor, if there was a similar way to do that with the ZV1, would be great! Any thoughts on mounting without a tripod directly on the monitor. I have a 32 inch Benq Monitor 3280U. Any advise would be great!
Thank you for this video, we appreciate it, just got one.
Awesome. How are you finding it?
Vic Barry it looks better, than no set up at all, I not good on this and I watched Your video step by step and it helped lots. Thanks 🤗
Maddy Lane's great stuff. There’s a “few” 😂 Sony ZV1 videos on my channel that you might find useful. Let me know if you get stuck
Dear Vic Barry, how do I change autofocus/re-autofocus while I’m shooting video on the Sony ZV-1? Also, what programs do you use for post-processing video? Could you do a hands-on video on that?
CAn you do a video on best run n gun mode and settings for people on the go?
Good suggestion. Yes. Thanks.
Great Video Vic. I have just taken delivery of the ZV-1. I have purchased a SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro. On Choosing the XAVC S 4K file format it only gives mean the Record Settings two options 25p 100M and 25p 60M. Can you suggest which I should use?
Hey there, if you switch from PAL to NTSC you’ll get the other options. Just keep in mind that you’ll have tonformate the card when you switch from one region to the other
Also, the 120p and 60p are only available in 1080

Thanks Alicia, how are you finding g the ZV1 so far?
Hey Vic, love your advices on Sony ZV 1. I use this camera for travel vlogging while walking around the places with different surroundings, sunlight, clods, foggy, snow etc. what pictures profile should I be using in order to use and enhance colors using LUTs in post? I am confused about SLOG and HLG3. Or should I just not use any picture profile?
Thanks 🙏
Hey Archie, awesome stuff. To be honest slog3 isn’t really suited to the ZV1 as it’s 8 but color. I’ve found HLG2 is decent enough. Again you can’t push it a tonne but you can definitely work with it.
@@VicBarry great, thanks. Is it suitable to set and forget? I am not into color grading and color correcting, just want to shoot and don’t do any color grading, or use a LUT. Do you think I can use HLG?
Great Video! Thank you learned a ton. I am trying to figure out on Audio Recording Level, why I can't see levels.I push it and it says Shoot mode or Program Auto and mine is on Program and cant change it. Thoughts
Hey Tanya, you have to enable audio levels in the menus and then you have to press the display button once you're in a camera mode to show the levels. Each time you press the display button, it cycles through different elements on the screen, the audio levels won't appear on every one, so if you don't see them first, press it again. Does that make sense?
@@VicBarry I am on Movie 3 in menus. Then I toggle down to Audio Rec Levels and its grey and a dash. That is where it says Program Mode. And Audio Recording is ON.
Hey Tanya, you need to be in movie mode for audio levels to be available in the menus. That's why you're seeing the dash. So, press mode until you're in movie mode. Then hit menu and go to the audio levels.
@@VicBarry YAY! I missed that. I just got it. Thank you so much!
No worries. Happy shooting 🙏
I love this camera
Hey Maria, it’s amazing. How are you finding yours?
Vic Barry great! I love it! Just made a new video with it, but still studying settings. Sometimes it just shuts down during the recording
Hey Maria. Thanks for the reply. At what point does it shut down? Around the 5 minute mark or....
Vic Barry Maybe, I need to check
Hi Barry love your channel, I have recently purchased a ZV1 and when I go in to 4K I only have 2 options 25P 100M and 25P 60M its not the same as your menu
Hey there, if you change the region from PAL to NTSC you’ll get the other options 👍
@@VicBarry Thanks a lot! I had the same problem
@@VicBarry thank i will try
@@VicBarry where this option for change PAL to NTSC?
Hi great video! However I do not have all the options on my record settings. Would you be able to tell me how I can get these options?
Hey Lauren, which settings exactly?
@@VicBarry Hi Barry, I don’t have the option to select 30 frames per second or any additional a. I only have 25 and 50

@@VicBarry thank you so much!
Is there any reason to use 'movie' mode over normal picture mode but with video? I tend to shoot in shutter priority to get that film blur, but can do so in either movie S mode or picture S mode. Any advantages to one over the other?
Hey there, not sure I follow you here...are you saying hitting the movie record while in photo mode?
@@VicBarry Yeah exactly. I could make a movie two ways: be in "shutter priority" mode and click the movie record button OR be in "movie" mode and click the record button. The advantage I see of shutter priority is then I can also take photos between video shoots, while in movie mode I can't take photos. Is the other advantage simply that you can re-configure the menus/buttons differently between the two modes? Anything I'm missing? P.S. Thanks for the tip to hit 'Fn' while in the menus. I did not know that!
@@PureGlide Gotcha, the menu functions / settings are very different for video mode and photo mode, so depending on what mode you're in, you may have different functionality.
You can cusomtize the menus for each one, even for the fn button, but to display the video functions by pressing the fn button, you must be in video mode and not photo mode, if that makes sense.
@@VicBarry Yeah it does, cheers
@@PureGlide No worries, let me know how it works out
Just bought this as an open box item for 500ish. I'm looking to learn a bit before that s5iix hits the market!
Hope you enjoy it!
very helpful
Gold bro!
Thanks man
Hi Vic, I know this is an old video but a great tutorial. I purchased the ZV1 about 4 months ago. I’d a problem with the battery this week & now the shutter keeps opening & closing when I turn the camera on. Any idea why this is happening & how I might fix it? Thanks, Maeve
Impossible to say really Maeve. What’s the problem you had with battery? Best bet though is talk to Sony, especially if it’s only 4 months old
The battery exhausted. I managed to charge it back but it died again after a 30 minute video & I had it plugged in to charge while filming. It seemed to not take the charge again & then the shutter problem started. I purchased a new battery & tried that today but the problem is still there. Really appreciate you replying. Thanks. I’ll contact Sony.
I don't have the option for 30fps. It only gives me 25fps to choose from. Any thoughts?
Hey Andrew, change the region Ntsc / Pal. Different frame rates are available in different regions
@@VicBarry Legend!
Ciao Vic, mi guarderò tutti i tuoi video su questa ZV-1 , l'ho presa anche io per il mio canale ma ho un po' di difficoltà nei settaggi. Grazie ;)
No problem!! How are you getting on with the ZV-1 now?
@@VicBarry
Unfortunately it uses it at its 10%, only automatically because I am not an expert in photogracy and although many things are trivial I do not know them;)
Hi Vic
Really top video. I have a zv-1 and don't get the option to film in 30fps...it just doesn't appear. I read something about pal and NTSC but not entirely sure. Also, i'm sure when i got the camera i was able to set it to 30fps. Just wondered if you have any ideas as in your video, you clearly have that option.
Hey there, to get the different frame rates you do need to switch the region from PAL To NTSC ;)
Thanks Vic, this was really helpful mate
Glad it helped How's the ZV-1 going?
Vic, thanks this was great. Looks like you are set to NTSC. And yet you are in Ireland. Is there a reason you choose this over PAL? Thanks.
Hey John, thank you. Yeah. I use NTSC because it offers more frame rates
@@VicBarry Thanks! Good to know.
I'm a geriatric, neophyte videographer, so I really appreciated your presentation... thank you! It was very helpful!
I'm in the process of establishing a channel, and want good quality video.In addition to the ZV-1 for close-ups, I have also decided to purchase the Sony A7siii. Am I making good choices? (I need two cameras because I will often use split screen images.)
Yes. Great choices. Awesome combo. Enjoy
Not sure if you went over this but when i press record it zooms in … how do i remove that
Vic I am trying to figure out if I could use the Sony ZV-1 for a traveling interview camera. I do corporate interviews and talking head interviews. I like the one button Bokeh button that might be just enough to add that look to my interviews. I have seen hundreds of V1 Vlogger reviews but I have yet to see anyone using it a a 2 person interview in a studio or run and gun office setup. If you have the time I would love to see how it might do.
Hey Glenn, hhhhhmmmmm...I'm not sure to be honest. I can certainly try it. But first thoughts are that the one touch bokeh button will instantly change your shutter speed so depending on what the other camera is then you'll have 2 very different frame rates possibly, which may seem a bit jarring for the viewer. But that aside, as long as the scene is well lit, I don't see why it can't work. Again, depending on what the other camera is, you might be making more work for yourself to color match 2 different cameras. If it's all Sony, then, it's gonna be a bit easier. Leave that one with me for a few days and I'll see what I can come up with
@@VicBarry I was thinking. of buying 2 Sony ZV-1's for that reason. I do use Sony A7 III but they are my studio cameras and I hate taking them all over the world and I never know when someone is going to request that I shoot an interview or now a Podcast. Everything must be small to get under the 50lb weight limit and the size limits that brings. I have already had one A7 III stolen and I can't tell you how may times I have had my luggage lost. The issue is that I have seen reviews that say for the Bokeh you have to be right on top of the subject and that get's hard to do on the A camera but eaiser on the B camera. If the Bokeh on the main camera is non-existent and the B camera is good that may still an issue. I can but 2 Z1's fr the price of almost every other camera out there considering the lenses. That's for the advice, love your UA-cam channel.
Hey Glenn, I’ve shot quite a number of testimonials last year (none this year because of the obvious) fro London to New York and I’d always carry my gear on the flight. Normally it’s 2 of us travelling. Usually it’s a GH5 and an S1H. Audio recorder, batteries etc. The only thing we’d check in is a suitcase with clothes and a few tripods. Lights etc are in the carry on too. It works quite well and the words “commercial camera gear” works wonders. Personally, for pro work I’d be very unlikely to use a ZV1 for an interview situation to be honest. The sensor, compared to the A7III is not even in the same league. On the bokeh side of things, that’s directly related to the lens you’re using and more importantly the sensor size. The one touch bokeh is a nice touch but as mentioned it’ll change the shutter speed to whatever it needs to pull off the effect and to get any decent DOF you’ll need some serious distance between your talent and the background. Hope this helps
Thank you for this! I'm finally going from video on my phone to a camera haha! What tripod do you use that can do overhead shots as well as straight on?
Hey Jessica. Currently I’m using a light stand with a ball head.
Hi Vic, I need your help, my record settings are way to different from yours, is that even possible, what should I do to get the same settings, I don't have 120fps I'm really worried. Please help me
Hey there, change the region setting from PAL to NTSC
Is there a quick function to change between 25p 4k to eg 120p hd for slow mo action?? cheers
Use the memory recall setting
hello vic ! question i want to shoot night videos or even day at 1080p which 1080p is the best setup to get great video quality?
Hey there 👋 for the ZV1 keep the aperture at 1.8 and the shutter speed at 1/50 and mess around with the ISO to get the best image. High iso will bring more noise to the image but see what looks good for you 👍
Hey man, great videos. You've been a serious help.
You mentioned briefly setting up a proxy in premiere. Been looking for a decent tutorial on it for a while, everything I find just doesn't quite cut it.

I had a couple questions since you seem so knowledgable about this camera. I have the Rode wireless go and when I plug it in I am not getting sound from my mic. Also, I was thinking about getting the Pico Mic which is Bluetooth but I also use the Vlog Handle which is also Bluetooth so I was wondering would I be able to use the Bluetooth microphone while also using the Bluetooth vlogging handle?
Hey there, a direct Bluetooth mic should work if you’re recording to a phone but there is no Bluetooth recording option within the camera. As for the Rose, adjust the audio levels to max in the camera and the Rode to see where the problem lies. Let me know how it works out
I don't seem to have access to the same frame rates you have, any tips as to why this may be?
Hi there. If you change from pal - ntsc in the region settings you’ll have them
With the sony A7C there is low screen dimming in 4k mode ?. Thank you
👋 Can you set a minimum shutter speed in AUTO ISO in Aperture Priority mode please ?
Hey there, to the best of my knowledge you can't. The only way to do it is go fully manual.
This is wonderful tech education
Thank you. Hope you learned something useful 👍
