What I love about your tutorial is it is very concise and you cover every single thing we need to know. I thought at first it was long, so I found a very quick one, and I had to come back to you as I simply did not get what I needed, and other tutorials miss out the very basics, which, with a menu like this, is almost impossible to guess. Thank you so much, it is wonderful, insightful, clever, clear, bold, simple to understand, and you don't use all those awful gimmicks and large texts and transistions. and I tell everyone I know to watch this! FANTASTIC
You are an incredible teacher! This is my first camera and I was so intimidated to use it, thank you so much for all the tips and explanations… super super helpful!
This is so helpful. I started to watch a different creator and he was moving so fast. I'm thankful I found you instead. I appreciate the in-depth tutorial. I was feeling a little "over my head" before I watched this.
WOW and I mean wow. Sony should be sponsoring all your videos with top pay. This is insanely detailed I applaud and commend you for making this. I just brought this camera after after obsessing over it for months only to want to return it because its too advanced for me. Then I found your beginners guide and this video. Thankyou for your hard work!! You seem like such a genuine and sweet person!! I liked and shared
Dude. Just picked up this camera. Up til now all my cameras have been Canon (which I still love and use). Wanted a small point and shoot and got a great deal on this one. Your video was so good and helped me get a better handle on some of the settings. I know these videos can be a bear to do so I greatly appreciate it! Thanks
Have seen a lot of videos, but this video is so specific that is great for a first time introduction to a camera. Will surely make up someone’s mind if the person is not sure if they should buy it. I will buy it
Hi Jason, this video is so helpful...I can't even begin to tell you. I'm starting a UA-cam channel and the Sony ZV1 II is my first camera. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Thank you, Jason. Great, very informative and useful video! I am a long time Nikon user. The tutorial was a great way to get to grips with the Sony ZV-1 II very quickly, especially as I was not familiar with the Sony menu in detail. Looking forward to more detailed videos on your channel. Thanks a lot.
I'm really appreciate your effort making this video, I had pre-ordered this camera a few days ago, and this is my first camera. Thank you so much, and have a nice day 😁
Omgeeeee this was absolutely perfect. 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 Everything I needed to know and everything I had no clue about you covered!!!!! This was the BEST tutorial I have ever watched!!! Great job!!!!! I’m feeling totally prepared to use my camera now!!! Woooo hooo!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Omg Jason, thank you so much for posting this video. I recently just got this camera but I have no clue at all. This video is going to be my bible now.I cannot thank you enough ❤
@@Jason_Hermann It was, but nice getting all the details! I couldn't figure out how to clear those shortcut boxes off my display, searched the menu up and down 5 times! haha I was so happy to hear you say it was just a swipe and they're gone lol
@@MollyFitzBrown haha, yeah they can get a bit annoying for sure! It's great for when you are in front of the camera in selfie mode, but otherwise I prefer them not to be there 👍
I dont own any camera, yet I watched the entire video and now am buying my first camera, I also bought some accessories from the links, I hope I follow through and actually buy the camera body
1:14:26 I’ve seen this video, it’s super helpful, thank you. Still it would be great if I could figure out how to make the shutter button work to take stills during recording like on the mark I. I used to use that function all the time when filming / taking pics of my kids
Can ANYBODY help? When I use this to shoot b-roll, the exposure jumps all over the place. How do I solve that? What setting should I be adjusting so that the sky doesn't suddenly blow out when i move the camera whilst filming an object. 😢
Thank you for doing this. I wish you could do a video of what settings would you have if you used this camera to pre-record a webinar? (Assuming you had good lighting and an external microphone).
How do you turn off the red tally light permanently on the front of the ZV-1ii camera so it won’t go on when filming? And is it possible to also take pictures while recording video? Thank you for this great video. Very helpful!
MENU → (Setup) → [Setup Option] → [REC Lamp] → OFF and no you can't take photos during video recording, but you can extract photos from the video file after the fact if you want on the camera. That feature is called Photo Capture and here is the instructions: helpguide.sony.net/dc/2310/v1/en/contents/0503K_photo_capture.html I also made a video on that feature if you want to check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/HCp0ixyS1eE/v-deo.html
Hi Jason, Thank you for this well detailed video. It came at the right time. I’m about to get this camera rn and I wish you can respond. Please, can I flip the screen to vertical? This is to enable me to create content and post IG reels & TikTok. TY so much
Jason - maybe you could consider making a brief video on the specific settings / camera position/ for UA-cam Shorts - this camera has multiple settings so which would be the best settings for vertical videos or is it simply just a case of turning the camera into the vertical position and recording for up to one minute ?
Yes, you just need to turn the camera vertically and use AUTO Mode if your not sure what settings to use. I'll see what I can do in the future, but I don't have the camera in hand anymore at the moment...
THANKS SO MUCH for this full overview JASON !!! Do you guys have any tips to keep the ZV1-II from always opening when it´s in your pockets or bag!? My only reliable solution has been to (a) pray it doesn´t, (b) attached a neck strap ( with a cage mounted on it from Small Rig) and wear it (c) well, I don´t want to put it in a camera case or something cause that defeats the purpose of having it at hand to shoot ( mostly using it as travel/street/vlog camera). Also what´s your favorite PP profile you guys are using? Greets from Berlin.
Amazing, highly informative video, thanks for all the tips it's really helped. All electronic items should come with thorough tutorials like this. Well done man 👍
I have been using this camera for about 5 months now and I am having an issue with lighting. I film in a room with abundant natural light, which looks fantastic when I am looking directly at the camera. However, when I am demonstrating exercises or moving around, the camera will get very dark and underexposed. Sometimes I look at the camera to "recalibrate" it before I start demonstrating the exercises, but as soon as I look away the exposure changes drastically. I have it on intelligent auto mode, which could be the problem. If you have any insight on this I would appreciate it so much!
Yeah this is a tuff situation if the lighting is changing in the room especially. What the camera is doing is balancing the exposure with the given scene "automatically", with facial priority also, so that is why when you are close it looks great on you, but when you get farther away it is averaging the exposure for the entire room. What you can do is set the camera to manual mode and dial in the given settings so it looks great, and then nothing will change as you move around the room.
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you so much for your reply. I will have to play around with the manual setting again. I tried setting it to manual and getting the exposure right, but it kept doing the light-to-dark thing when I turned sideways or transitioned to the floor. I am starting to wonder if I bought the wrong camera or if I just need to learn how to use it the right way. 😬
@@FlexAbilitiesLLC You need to take the ISO off Auto and hard set it to like ISO 100 for example in manual mode. If you leave the ISO on Auto it will adjust the exposure as it changes, so you need to hard set it. Full Manual mode is required and you can do it! I would start at ISO 100, Shutter speed at 1/50sec and then the Aperture you can dial in until the exposure is at 0. I would start there and your aperture might end up being f/4 or possible f/8 even, but it depends on the light in the room.
Hi, I just got the zv1 II as my first overall camera for taking photos and possibly making short form videos (reels, shorts etc.) but how can I make the videos "long ways" instead of landscape aside from just tilting the camera? Haha as you can tell I am not well versed on this. Thank you!
Hi, your video is extremely helpful. I just got my Sony zv 1 mark ii. However, it's automatically on intelligent auto. I can't change it to shoot mode, can you please tell me why? I can't really make changes because it's on intelligent auto. Thank you.
Hey Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I have my video settings at 4K 24, when I take the memory card out and put into my phone using a card reader. The files aren’t visible… any ideas?
No it is not included, but my camera did come with one as it was a loaner from Sony.... Sorry for the confusion, because I did assume the camera would come with one which is why I included it in this video. It was a pre production model I had, not a retail packaged one for reference...
One thing I can’t find anywhere is dual record on the new ZV1 mark ii. I used to be able to click the button and take a photo and used it all the time on the ZV1 butt cannot get it to work on the mark ii. Does anyone know if there’s a way to do it on the mark ii please?
Hi Jason , Jason. These are great videos! I am very much a beginner so I’ll probably watch them multiple times. My first question is how the heck do I get videos off of the camera onto my laptop?
Can you show us how to upload images and video to a Mac? I see you only have how to upload to a PC. Thanks so much Jason! YOUR VIDEOS ARE BEYOND HELPFUL!
Great video!!!! I have a question, sometimes when I pick up my camera when its off it randomly turns on and I dont know why.. Im scared of it turning on and opening in my pocket or something and damaging the lens?
The lens has a clutch so it should not get damaged if it were to turn on in your pocket... The button must be getting pressed by accident if it's turning on, and yes this has happened to me as well over the years ;)
I don't think the wired remotes work anymore and you need the bluetooth style on the new cameras like this one... This is one, you can use as a grip and a remote if you want: geni.us/uW35hFU Here is just the remote: geni.us/M42Z
Excellent video thank you so much. I am going in to buy one tomorrow. So you can’t post the video or image straight to social media from the phone. It has to go to your phone or your computer? Will there be any loss of quality through the process? In another UA-cam review they said the video record time was only four minutes, that her camera stops recording at four minutes and overheats. is this true?
You can share from the phone if you copy the files over and the quality depends on how you have the camera set. You can copy over raw photos or have the camera convert them to lower res jegs which is what I usually do. Video is harder, because phones struggle with the formats, but in theory if you have a really powerful phone video should work also.
Hi Jason. Do you know if a Rode Lavalier mic should be compatible with this camera? I attached my external Lav to the camera today and did a test recording but got no audio. I’m not sure if I need to change a setting or if it’s not compatible. Thanks for any help you can offer!
Some are compatible, but you really need to check the manufactures website to make sure... Normally when you plug a mic in it just starts using that as the source and you can see the audio meter on the camera if in movie mode.
I've recently been considering purchasing a camera with the goal of using it for vlogging. I've noticed some bloggers using some elevated footage as Broll in their videos and really like the idea. I'd like to know, for the second generation body, was the HFR feature removed from the first generation body? I'm wondering if this will have some impact on vlogging, especially when adding some elevated shots. Based on your experience, would you recommend that I purchase a Gen 1 body or a Gen 2 body? Thanks!
Not that I am aware of no... You can check the date and time in the playback menu though if you press the display button, or you can sort by date in the playback menu as well. The Date is saved to the Exif data in the photo file itself also, but you need to make sure the camera's time and date are correct as well.
I’m thinking about a 1st timers vlog camera I think the ZV E-10 is too much, this may be easier for my needs, still gonna cost a arm/leg though hahaha…peace
I have this camera and I must say that I’m a bit frustrated. I’ve been trying to make camera settings, 1,2 and 3. Every time I attempt to save settings in #2 it over rides my settings in #1. I turn the camera off after it says registered. I thought the update to firmware would solve the problem but no luck. Any suggestions?
No I do not have any idea why that would happen, sorry... I would give Sony tech support a call on that one. Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back in? That sounds weird!
Thank you I really apprecatie you insight. When I go into S&Q MODE... Then to file format. It says This Operation or Setting not available. @@Jason_Hermann

The best tutorial I have ever seen on the UA-cam platform. Thanks for your dedication in this field. Truly helpful!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for this! We absolutely love using this camera for our travel vlogs!
A very comprehensive tutorial video for the Sony ZV-1 II. I got my Sony ZV-1 II last week, and your video has helped me a lot to get started.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I love how you broke it down to the basics - but in a way that is informative and not condescending.
Hi Jason, this video is so helpful...I can't even begin to tell you. I'm starting a UA-cam channel and the Sony ZV1 II is my first camera. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
This is so good! @sony needs to pay you to do these. There is nothing else that runs you through everything on the camera, so good.
This is fabulos content and delivery Jason, i will be watching this several times. Many thanks

You're very welcome :)
Jason, how do I set the camera so that in video, the camera will follow you as it cops in? This feature mimics having a cameraman following you?
This camera does not offer the Auto Framing feature. The new ZV-E1 does it as well as the new A6700... The AI Chip is required for this feature...
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just bought this camera and am going to start using it tomorrow for my videos!
Have fun!

What is the maximum supported capacity of the memory card? 256gb, 512gb?
As far as I know there is no size limit...
How can I check the actual battery percentage of the camera? Like how on phones you can see when your battery is on 20%
Just the battery indicator on the top right is all there is... Highly recommend having a few spare batteries with you if traveling... geni.us/2BcUHzN

I'm wondering if this will have some impact on vlogging, especially when adding some elevated shots. Based on your experience, would you recommend that I purchase a Gen 1 body or a Gen 2 body? Thanks!
Hello,
I bough this camera to video tape family videos. I am a newbie.
Should i record at 4k 24 like you suggested or just HD?
Totally up to you. 4k is just higher resolution, so it will look better on 4k devices, but not really need if sharing on social media for example.
@Jason_Hermann I took maybe 35min of video on 4k and it takes sooo long to upload to drop box. Is that normal? It's been 2 hourd
Great video! Does this camera allow audio devices such as a blue yeti to be connected to it?
Not that I’m aware of…
i like the details, New Subscriber here
Awesome, thank you!
Is there a way to add a date stamp to your photos?
Not that I am aware of no... You can check the date and time in the playback menu though if you press the display button, or you can sort by date in the playback menu as well. The Date is saved to the Exif data in the photo file itself also, but you need to make sure the camera's time and date are correct as well.
Can you use the rode wireless go 2 on the mark 2?
Yes.
Do i need a powerful computer with a powerful graphics card to edit footage taken from this phone or will any modern laptop be fine?
Very good! Thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can you change white balance when the camera is recording ?
Thank you
how long hours we can use it as webcam ? Is it stop after one hour as webcam too?
Awesome !! Thank you so much !!
You're welcome!
I’m thinking about a 1st timers vlog camera I think the ZV E-10 is too much, this may be easier for my needs, still gonna cost a arm/leg though hahaha…peace
I have this camera and I must say that I’m a bit frustrated.
I’ve been trying to make camera settings, 1,2 and 3. Every time I attempt to save settings in #2 it over rides my settings in #1. I turn the camera off after it says registered. I thought the update to firmware would solve the problem but no luck. Any suggestions?
May I know isn’t this good for photography? Only for videography?
It's great for both!
Any idea why the display on my ZV1-II will not function when it is closed against the body?
No I do not have any idea why that would happen, sorry... I would give Sony tech support a call on that one. Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back in? That sounds weird!
Thank you for the sharing
Thanks for watching!
How do you set 4k in S&Q Mode?
The record mode is under your record settings just like regular video... MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec] → [File Format] → XAVC S 4K
When I record in In Video Mode is record at 4k 30p, but when I switch to S&Q Mode it switches back to HD at 30p 🤨@@Jason_Hermann
@@dadspaidads Well that is a separate mode of the camera, so when the camera is set to "S&Q Mode" go into the video settings and set it to 4k etc...
Thank you I really apprecatie you insight. When I go into S&Q MODE... Then to file format. It says This Operation or Setting not available. @@Jason_Hermann
