What are your tips for using the Sony ZV-1?

[JeffBourke]

The problem with active (and all Electronic stabe) is that it might stabilise the footage but the motion blur is still there. Always use as fast of a shutter speed as possible if you are going to use electronic stabe.

I've been reading the manual for 3 days but learned the most through this video in 10 minutes at 1.5x speed.

I make painting-demonstration videos for my art classes. How do I keep the painting (i.e. the background) in focus, such that the focus doesn't switch to my hand (the foreground) while I'm painting?

[iandastore]

i have one and it shuts off all 30 - 60 min because it overheats even with the setting on 'dont shutdown when hot' is that normal?

Hi from Canada! Is the camera different in diff countries? My SteadyShot has only On/Off. Thanks for the helpful vid!

[tmtare]

Also there are a ton of great accessories to make this camera even better!I would recommend getting the Ulanzi wide angle lens!

[kaitlinkimball]

Is there a setting on the ZV-1 to still film on the tripod horizontally, but have the video come out vertically?

[benedictagabriel]

Can this camera be used for sit down videos?

[evanfarrar]

With the vlogger kit handle, can you hinge it down then re-screw the camera so you can hold upright and shoot vertical?

[CCrotona]

Going to buy this and make music videos for tik tok!

[jocelynggogogo]

can it focus on 2 faces at the same time? i wanna film a 2 person interview and I don't know if it'll work well for it

[CortesCanalAndeComigo]

I bought my Sony ZV1 and didn't like it. When the camera is filming your face, it's incredible, but when you need to take shots of landscapes, you have to walk very slowly; otherwise, the video gets blurry, this is very sux. I expected more in terms of that.

ZV1 is an awesome camera but a lot of the features are gimmicks - ( single settings ND Filter, 1080p is not sharp, background defocus button).
