As a french guy who reasonnably understands english, I love the accents, especially the scottish and the welch ones. I have a very simple question: I have a windows phone. Is it possible to use this camera without an android or an apple phone ?
+Kanye Houellebecq I'm not 100% sure the play memories app is available for windows phones. If it isn't, you would have to change camera settings using the wrist strap.
+Terry Holden I recorded this whilst I was travelling so the footage was recorded using my webcam. I just didn't have the correct equipment with me in order to record a high quality video.

I see, Thanks to you I figured out how to get the wifi signal up and going so I could see the shot on the remote but I looked in the instrucs and it doesnt say anything about getting the video footage out of the camera or remote which ever into the computer . but thanks for what you have already showed.
Hi, nice video. I cant decide yet between gopro hero 4 or sony hdr az1. What I need is a stable longer range wifi connection with an adroid phone or tablet for live video streaming. Do you have a suggestion? Thanks
Allan Malate Hi Allan. I have not used a GoPro before (any version) so not sure how that offers. I have yet to use my Sony action cam for live streaming, though the camera does apparently support UStream. I'm not too sure if it supports other kinds of live streaming. Kevin
I just got my own AZ1 today, after playing around with my brother´s. It´s a really good budget action cam. The only problem I have is that for some reason I can´t figure out how to record with the gps turned on. Taking pictures with gps isn´t a problem as I just turn location information on, but I can only find that setting in photo mode. I noticed that Sony´s Action Cam Movie Creator can use this information to display speed and track in video clips.
Yeah, it's really weird. Even the satellite symbol disappears when I switch to recording mode, although maybe it's supposed to. I don't know what else I can try, but every time I try to add the track info, it says that there isn't one.
That's strange. It is not a feature that I used because I never needed that information in my recordings, but it does not sound like it is working right. Perhaps someone else here can point you in the right direction?
@@KevinMuldoon I figured it out watching part of you post. I got to the place where it shows a finger touching the camer button... I touched that button , the key was holding it down and it went ahead and connected, now it will do that. Automatically for a while till I leave it sit for years again lol
+viorel gavrila The x1000v has great reviews. Most say the quality is better than the gopro 5 and 5 session (but that's slightly cheaper). I haven't tested either so I can't comment.
Dj Mitch Darlin I have never experienced that problem. I'm not sure there is even an option to disable sound. I would contact Sony about this as it sounds like the camera is broken.
The PlayMemories app is available for iOS so in theory you could do this. You may find that the Sony video editor they provide is sufficient for your needs.
Do you think that saving the videos to my phone and editing on my phone is easier than saving on my computer and editing which would you say I should do for my videos you should check out my prank video
+Jacob Ianuzi I guess it depends on how good the editing app is on your phone, but generally speaking I would say that editing a video is easier on a computer. If you are referring to quickness or convenience, perhaps editing the clip via your phone is the way to go. If you aren't doing many edits, your phone should be fine for making videos.
It looks like you might be giving a decent video but your audio quality issue I can't understand anything you're saying I would suggest read doing the audio on this video with a much higher volume level
+MrRoverpilot Getting the audio level for UA-cam can sometimes be difficult. I tend to normalising the max peaks to -0.1db, though that does not always address the issue if you have a few peaks that are much higher than others. Out of interest, what device were you watching the video with? I find that with some devices UA-cam audio is poor, but this is addressed if you are listening using good headphones.
i have one and it loses sync with my cell phone all the time. and when you are away from wifi forget it. the wrist screen is it . and it sucks. should have got a goPro
Yeah a new GoPro would be a good alternative. This is quite an old action camera at this point so most action cameras from GoPro or DJI from the last few years will be better.
Matthias Lange Wow. I didn't realise there are two models. You are 100% correct. I have corrected my videos so that I refer to the live view remote kit as RM-LVR2V. I appreciate you correcting me :)
Thanks for all the links in the video description, much appreciated! Great informative video.
Just purchased one so this video was good guidance! Cheers for takin the time! Good on Ya! Stay safe from "Rona" ! Peace!
Thanks Carp. Glad you found it useful.
@@KevinMuldoon Your welcome! Full support here!Be Safe!😷🍀💐
It's good to finally see someone Scottish like me on youtube
+Ralph Realms haha thanks. Maybe non-Brits will get used to the accent if we more of us start YouTubing.

+Kanye Houellebecq Oh and thanks for the kind words. Hope you found the video useful :)
As action cam, good chance you are using it outdoor and with gloves, like biking or skiing so on, hard bottoms will help a lot than phone app.
What is the app?
Great video with lots of good info. Thanks!
+rizangler Thanks Riz.
Thanks for the link to the manual!
You're welcome.
i wonder if putting the remote to dim mode if that would help see the monitor better in this video?
+Terry Holden I recorded this whilst I was travelling so the footage was recorded using my webcam. I just didn't have the correct equipment with me in order to record a high quality video.

No problem. Glad you found it useful. Rest assured if I was to record the tutorial again the overall quality would be better. :)

Is there a way to plug a mic into the camera to improve audio quality?
+JacobFallsAlotBMX Unfortunately there is no mic out port in this camera.
+Kevin Muldoon ugh that sucks

I noticed that Sony´s Action Cam Movie Creator can use this information to display speed and track in video clips.
I'm not sure what is going on.
Once the GPS is activated it should display GPS information when you view the video through Sony's software.
Yeah, it's really weird. Even the satellite symbol disappears when I switch to recording mode, although maybe it's supposed to. I don't know what else I can try, but every time I try to add the track info, it says that there isn't one.

Perhaps someone else here can point you in the right direction?
Thank you! I just purchased this and the "manual" is horrendous.
Do you have a tutorial on the Sony splashproof Exmor R 13.5 Mega Pixels?
+Jill Gerlach Sorry Jill. I have not used that particular camera.
Can I zoom while recording via WiFi with my phone?
do you know if it has zoom or if the app has something to control that?
Frankarlo Salas No there is unfortunately no way to zoom using the camera.
only way to zoom is to enable the vibration on when it is in 120 degree viewing angle mode it zoomed in compare to the 170 degrees.
What’s the app
I have the same exact device but I have none of the options in my monitor that you have
We may have different firmware versions.

que linda esa hermosa esa camisa de mi Colombia. Min 18:04
How do set the Date and clock on it???
+Maldini Maldini You can do this via the watch or via the accompanying app.
do u mean the Play Memories app??
+Maldini Maldini No the action camera app that is shown in the video.
Helloo.Please,SONY HDR-AZ1,OR SONY AS50?.Thanks.
AZ1 is smaller. AS50 has better controls.
Thank you very much, but the sony x1000v and Go pro session 5? Thank you
+viorel gavrila The x1000v has great reviews. Most say the quality is better than the gopro 5 and 5 session (but that's slightly cheaper).
I haven't tested either so I can't comment.
I really do not have a Bicycle, not a Motor, just a Car and Holidays. Once again I apologize. Thanks. The budget is somewhere 300E
+viorel gavrila I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. What's 300E? What currency?
hey i cant get my HDR-AZ1 sound after have done a video record
Dj Mitch Darlin I have never experienced that problem. I'm not sure there is even an option to disable sound.
I would contact Sony about this as it sounds like the camera is broken.
Same with me
So I could make videos on the camera then save it to my phone and edit the videos with the iMovie app on my phone. I saw a good deal on this camera
The PlayMemories app is available for iOS so in theory you could do this. You may find that the Sony video editor they provide is sufficient for your needs.
thank you for the answer

What's the app called?
play memories but your comment is old so i guess you already found it
It looks like you might be giving a decent video but your audio quality issue I can't understand anything you're saying I would suggest read doing the audio on this video with a much higher volume level
+MrRoverpilot Getting the audio level for UA-cam can sometimes be difficult. I tend to normalising the max peaks to -0.1db, though that does not always address the issue if you have a few peaks that are much higher than others.

+Kevin Muldoon using my LG. Gpad8 the same as the other youtube videos with no problem
I probably didn't normalise the audio correctly at the time. Hopefully you are not seeing the same issue with my later videos :)
You must be deaf..
do i need a app? name?
You can use PlayMemories for controlling the camera remotely. You can use Action Cam App for various video editing tools :)
i have one and it loses sync with my cell phone all the time. and when you are away from wifi forget it. the wrist screen is it . and it sucks. should have got a goPro
Yeah a new GoPro would be a good alternative. This is quite an old action camera at this point so most action cameras from GoPro or DJI from the last few years will be better.
My sound is not working either
I think you use the RM-LVR2V, not the LVR1
Matthias Lange Wow. I didn't realise there are two models. You are 100% correct. I have corrected my videos so that I refer to the live view remote kit as RM-LVR2V. I appreciate you correcting me :)
People say you don't need the remote ? Can I purchase one without ?
mmmm I believe you can buy other versions without it, but not this one (though I may be wrong).
+KevStar I don't have a remote. I use my older iphone 4 synched with it wifi and it works great. A much larger screen to see from also.
+KevStar You do need to download the Play memories for me app to your phone.
rizangler thanks for that
You can't buy this model without the remote but it comes with the remote anyhow
I especially like how the screen isn’t in focus for a single second. Thanks for nothing.
Can the camera continue to record without live view remote on?
