There is a reduction in quality using 60p/50m because playback at 30p is only 25m. You'll have double the bitrate recording in 30p/50m and playing back in 30p. Basically half the image quality or half the speed. Recording at 60p and adjusting the frame rate in post won't affect quality, like in your demonstration shows.

Hey Graeme, thank you for the kind words and for subscribing. It’s really appreciated. Best of luck with the youtube return 🙏👍💪 Be sure to let me know if there’s something specific you’d like to see about the ZV1-1 (lots more vids to come)
Well done, lad. A lot of good general advice for such a short video. I have a couple of Canon DSLRs and Panasonic mirrorless cameras that do a fine job of video at normal-time frame rates but was looking for something other than a GoPro for slow motion (at a reasonable price). To tell you the truth, Sony just about sold me by including a dead cat for the built-in mike right out of the box.
Good info as usual Vic. One point of your suggestion to put it in Manual Focus. If you're in Auto Focus mode, you don't have to worry about AF not being able to keep focus due to the high frame rate beacsue focus is locked once the camera enters HFR shooting standby, "even when using the auto focus"!

Hey Vic, thanks for these amazing videos, one question, I'm really noob with the cameras, I just bought the Sony ZV-1 to improve the videos on my channel (I was using my cellphone before), Is it possible to have the blur background you have on this video with the Sony ZV-1? if that's possible(or close) do you have any tips/configuration for newbies like me? Thanks so much :)
Great video, the education is priceless. I've been looking for a new camera to record slow motion on (specifically 960fps or higher) for my slow motion channel. The price point for a lot of them are sky high. Would this be a camera you'd recommend, or do you have other suggestions? Thanks again for the video!!
Thank you. To be honest, 960fps on this camera is close to unusable unless you have an absolute TONNE of light! If you want to shoot those frame rates or higher, you'll really have to invest.
@@VicBarry that's good 😁. Ya were all good here. Travelling around west cork, places are packed were ever we go. Mizen head next week 😁. The slow motion in the video is gas, and it looks cool. Keep up the good work Vic 👍

Vic Barry I’ll see what Sony will announce rumoured in the upcoming days...if it doesn’t intrigue me, I’ll get the zv1 which is enough for my travelling needs :)))
Great video, have you encounter a problem with 2 or more people in frame, and the camera only focusing on 1 of them? Looking to buy a camera but that would be a big red flag
Hey Sonny, thank you. For this video, it was manual focus all the way. That aside though, you can register your own face and the camera will prioritize you over anyone else in the shot. Hope that helps
@@sonnyzamot3067 Depends on how far apart everybody is. If you're all next to each other then it'll be fine, but if you're in front and everyone else is kinda behind you at different distances, then they're gonna be blurred. How much blur depends on how far everybody is from the lens. This is just focusing and nothing to do with the camera as the camera can only focus on one object and one distance at a time.
How are you setting manual focus in HFR mode when the usual button to set manual focus (center button) is remapped in HFR mode to enter/exit the record ready state? How is setting manual focus possible without changing modes?
Great stuff! Any thoughts on the best way to use manual focus for HFR? When I’m in HFR I’m having trouble activating the control wheel to adjust the focus since the center button is used to toggle between the shooting settings and standby mode. Thanks!
@Vic Barry just a short question what is the reason for the 60fps 50M? Yes of course if you for example use the record 960fps and write 60fps 50M Option you can slow down in past about 40%, BUT the total slowdown will always be the same. If you do 60fps 50M you get a Initial x16 slowmo from 960fps divided by 60fps and can slow down in post for example to 60fps devided by 24fps additional x2,5 which leads to a total slowmotion of x40. When you go straight 960fps to 24fps it is also x40. Here comes the crucial part as you cramp 60fps into 50mBits/s Codec each frame gets only ~0,83mBit/s Bandwith where as if you aleady slowdown to 24fps every frame gets ~2,08mBit/s Bandwith which means way less compression, artifacting and overall reduction of image quality. Them if you want do speedramping or what ever in post your can easy speedup the footage in post without loss in quality to for example 60fps instead of 24fps. Maybe a idea to test for a new Video about the Zv-1 you might give it a try otherwise you can get more detailed Informations about codec and technical background for example from Gerald Undone. Love your Videos, keep going and always keep innovating.
Hi Tim, great comment! Thanks for writing all that. Some great points there. Ultimately, when the ZV-1 spits out a 960fps file, it's coming out at whatever the fps was set (50/60) - Totally correct, that you can't really slow it down any more, but at 60fps you can certainly make it look slower / smoother. Sure, there's no extra frames there and we won't be slowing down any speeding bullets or what not, but it's more of an optical trick than anything else. Very true on the bit rate, it is squeezed to within an inch of it's life. It's not really suitable for anything beyond a tablet / phone / smallish size tv, but depending on where you're audience is viewing, it may not make any difference. Personally, I don't really use anything about the 120p as I don't really need anything more, and unless in an incredibly well lit situation, 960fps is not really any good at all, and even then it's a struggle to watch. But, great features to have in a tiny camera for people to have fun with, and that's what it's all about really.
Why is changing from 24p or 30p better in the record settings? Isn't that just what speed it plays back at? If you got 240 frames and play back at 60, that's 4 times slower. Then you changed speed to 50% making it 8 times slower total. If you left it was 30p and again 240fps, 30 divided by 240 is just again 8 times slower. So what's the difference? I could possibly see setting it to 60p would produce a worse image depending on codec and bitrate.
So I tried doing what you said, but when I’m doing slow motion rec it says buffering .. and then I record but it does it so fast that it only allows me to record it for like 3 seconds. Anything I’m doing wrong or is that how it is?
Hey Josephine, you’re not in 120p. You’re in the other slow motion (a&e) settings. You’ll find it in the menu where you change the video resolution. Go to 1080p and you’ll see either 120p or 100p as an option
@@VicBarry I also want to know the answer here. Are you telling me this doesn't record slo-mo like an iPhone does? I can't even see what I'm recording on the screen what I'm actually recording. It's a horrible experience. Making me want to almost return this camera.
Also didn’t realise that about the 60fps trick. How does the quality compare with 25fps? Must be a bit of a difference if it’s squeezing in more frames at the same bitrate?
Hi Barry. Me bugging again, sorry for all the messages. I've googled a lot to try to find out how to film outside when it's high brightness, like yesterday 28 celsius and super sunny weather here in OSLO. I tried messing with the Aperture and also Shutter speed to get it darker, but videos became totally useless.. It was waaaay too bright, and no matter which of the settings aperture, shutter speed and exposure I messed with, videos became insanely bright anyways.. Zebra setting was fine at the time of the shooting, so I thought that I had the right setting, but then I came home and all of my videos was destroyed, overexposed and totally useless.. Is it so that the ZV-1 is useless in direct sunlight situations? The tips I found on internet was to buy a filter, but the ZV-1 is a compact camera and doesn't support things like this.. I thought you might have some insight to this issue..
Hmm I tried to follow this guide and set the settings accordingly. But the video gets very grainy, and not possible to lower the ISO while in hfr.. Any way to tweakuit for the film to get sharper without grains?
@@VicBarry I see, I'm actually using 240 in hfr mode, and 60fps on record setting. So I'm not sure which one is correct, record setting NG 60fps or frame rate 240fps? Menu is confusing, even the manual doesn't make sense to me
Hey wife, do you want to contribute to my UA-cam channel? ... Yes sure darling ... Good, you are having a shower today ... Wait what? Kids: eyeahh, lets play with moma
Dear Vic, I have a question about slow-motion relevant with your 2 videos in this topic, I watched both. The first video is 120P Slow Motion Settings and the 2nd is Slow Motion Best Setting. What is the difference with those 2 settings ? One of them is 120P and other one is 60P... But both of them can be converted into super slow-motion without quality losing. Both of 2 settings have similar effects or different ? Thank you for your answer and interest.... Sincerely
Not sure what the second video is but there’s 2 slow motion options in the ZV1. The 120p allows you to slow things down in post while the s&q mode allows up to 960fps
@@VicBarry Dear Vic, firstly thank you for your kind interest and answer to me. The 2nd video is SONY ZV-1 | 120P SLOW MOTION SETTINGS. firstly, you released 1st video (Sony ZV-1 Slow Motion | Best Settings) on 16th of July,2020 then you shared the 2nd video on 16th of July,2020. again sam question:) What's the difference between two??
Great content! But everybody buying ZV1 for HFR slomo should know that RX 100 M5 is actually a better and cheaper slomo cam! Why? Well even though ZV1 has better processor and heat dissipation, RX100 M5 can make 150-300% longer clips with the same quality! Specs: ZV1 Quality Priority 250 fps 2 seconds, 500/1000 fps 1 second. Whereas RX 100 M5 can do: quality priority 240 fps 4 seconds, 500/1000 fps 3 seconds. Same story with the shoot time priority settings. I have no idea why Sony crippled the function...
That took one too many takes for my liking. Cheap cakes hurling at your eye sockets are not a good idea. Especially when the cake hurler is not a skilled cake thrower
Depends on your timeline, but if it’s a 4K timeline then you need to scale the slow motion footage to the timeline size (if using premiere, SET TO FRAME SIZE)
great! I also bought the zv-1 and I'm about to make more or less the same things as you, obviously in Italian! this car has been little advertised, but it is really fantastic! if you like follow me on my channel, I'm already subscribed to yours 😜👍🏻
2 seconds is no were near long enough. Why did sony only give slow motion 2 seconds I can get more on my phone. I do not think the zv-1 is made for slow motion.

Start off with aperture priority and iso on auto.
@@VicBarry will try. Is ND filter also a thing? I read online now that it's good for over exposed situations?
Hmm I tried to follow this guide and set the settings accordingly. But the video gets very grainy, and not possible to lower the ISO while in hfr.. Any way to tweakuit for the film to get sharper without grains?
Anything above 240fps in the hfr is not worth using unless you have amazing lighting conditions.
@@VicBarry I see, I'm actually using 240 in hfr mode, and 60fps on record setting. So I'm not sure which one is correct, record setting NG 60fps or frame rate 240fps? Menu is confusing, even the manual doesn't make sense to me
@@VicBarry I mean, why does one setting say 60p 50m (60 fps max) and the next menu says 240fps?
So you’re recording 240fps and the file the camera spits out holds that data in a 60fps file. Does that make sense?
@@VicBarry ahh, it means that every playback media thinks its 60fos,until I decide to slow it down in Vegas?
I wanted to shoot myself in slow mo on mtb bike. I cant. By time i get on bike its finished. No way to record longer?
Not on the HFR mode I'm afraid, however, drop it into 1080p and you can do 120 fps and just slow it down in post and it'll look insane!
Hey wife, do you want to contribute to my UA-cam channel? ...
Yes sure darling ...
Good, you are having a shower today ...
Wait what?
Kids: eyeahh, lets play with moma
Dear Vic, I have a question about slow-motion relevant with your 2 videos in this topic, I watched both. The first video is 120P Slow Motion Settings and the 2nd is Slow Motion Best Setting. What is the difference with those 2 settings ? One of them is 120P and other one is 60P... But both of them can be converted into super slow-motion without quality losing. Both of 2 settings have similar effects or different ? Thank you for your answer and interest.... Sincerely
Not sure what the second video is but there’s 2 slow motion options in the ZV1. The 120p allows you to slow things down in post while the s&q mode allows up to 960fps
@@VicBarry Dear Vic, firstly thank you for your kind interest and answer to me. The 2nd video is SONY ZV-1 | 120P SLOW MOTION SETTINGS. firstly, you released 1st video (Sony ZV-1 Slow Motion | Best Settings) on 16th of July,2020 then you shared the 2nd video on 16th of July,2020. again sam question:) What's the difference between two??
@@VicBarry sorry the 2nd video was shared on 21st of July 2020.. I wrote mistakenly
Im still trying to figure out to send photos to smart phone.
I’ve got a video lined up about that over the next few days
Great content! But everybody buying ZV1 for HFR slomo should know that RX 100 M5 is actually a better and cheaper slomo cam! Why? Well even though ZV1 has better processor and heat dissipation, RX100 M5 can make 150-300% longer clips with the same quality!
Specs: ZV1 Quality Priority 250 fps 2 seconds, 500/1000 fps 1 second. Whereas RX 100 M5 can do: quality priority 240 fps 4 seconds, 500/1000 fps 3 seconds. Same story with the shoot time priority settings. I have no idea why Sony crippled the function...
I liked the bit where you got hit by a pie 😂
That took one too many takes for my liking. Cheap cakes hurling at your eye sockets are not a good idea. Especially when the cake hurler is not a skilled cake thrower
What camera did you use to record this video ?
Sony a6600
But you can’t shoot in hfr 4k? How do you edit it together with 4k 24frp footage then?
Depends on your timeline, but if it’s a 4K timeline then you need to scale the slow motion footage to the timeline size (if using premiere, SET TO FRAME SIZE)
Not including a battery charger in the box is annoying. But everyone is doing it at this level.
Can we shoot movies with this camera?? please reply sir !!
Hey Danish, yes, there's a movie mode in it
@@VicBarry Great ! Can you please tell the movie's name ?
Sorry. I misunderstood. No Hollywood movie has been shot with this
do you know how to undo slow mo?
Help me. I can setting my Sony because it version 2.01
What's the setup you're shooting yourself?
Hi Selina, The Sony a6600 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens
@@VicBarry thanks. Do you think it's possible to get the same results with zv1 and post production?
The depth of field won’t be as much but other than that absolutely.
Gracias mil gracias por poner subtitulos en español
What if you only want 120
❤❤❤
great! I also bought the zv-1 and I'm about to make more or less the same things as you, obviously in Italian! this car has been little advertised, but it is really fantastic! if you like follow me on my channel, I'm already subscribed to yours 😜👍🏻
*camera (no car) 🤣
Good explaination but very too fast
I only have 50 to 50 why?,,,,
2 seconds is no were near long enough.
Why did sony only give slow motion 2 seconds I can get more on my phone.
I do not think the zv-1 is made for slow motion.
just get Galaxy S9+...its cheap now
