HOW TO SETUP SONY ZV-E10 with CINEMATIC SETTINGS FOR FILMMAKING

[@thefilmalliance]

Which two cameras would you like to see compared next?

[@kenkioqqo]

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I bought the Sony ZV-E10 two days ago and I didn't know how to set it up the right way until now. So thanks a lot man.

[@thefilmalliance]

Glad to hear. Thanks for the encouragement. How are you enjoying your camera so far?

[@kenkioqqo]

I shot my first indie music video footage with it yesterday and I love the results so far. Its performing better than I expected.

[@thefilmalliance]

Thank you for that. I just want to share with you all what I have learned over the years. Do you have the Zve10?

[@ВладиславДемидов-у4р]

@@thefilmalliance I bought a sony zv e10 today. I like to experiment, but I decided to take a peek at the deep settings, I don't have much time before my trip

[@goestas]

Great crash course on the ZV-E10 menus, thank you! Just what I needed to get over the initial deer-in-headlights feeling.

[@thefilmalliance]

Haha, I know that feeling well man. Thank you, I am glad you are getting value from my videos.

[@speakerscoach]

also, at the 22:00 mark, you mentioned that you couldn't get the Dial / wheel lock to work. It has to be combined with the FN button. Here's the explanation: Dial/Wheel Lock You can customize the camera to lock the control wheel and dial when you press the button. For example, suppose you want to keep a constant aperture and shutter settings while filming a video. You may want to press the button to lock the control wheel and dial so that if you accidentally bump the control wheel or dial, the settings won’t be affected because the control wheel and dial are locked. Configuring the Control Wheel and Control Dial Lock → [] Camera Settings 2 → [Dial / Wheel Lock] Select: [Lock]: If you press the button, the control wheel and control dial will be locked. Pressing the button again will release the lock. copied from the great book "Sony ZV-E10 Companion: A Guide to Mastering Your Camera" (p. 329). Kindle Edition by Arthur Cam

Hey Joe (or is it Joel? Couldn't figure out your name just by hearing), My ZV E10 arrived today and I set it up with your Video. Thanks for the help and the free information you put out to the world. For me you are the best ZV-10 Specialist on KZbin and your footage with it is great! I'll write a comment again when I've tried out the Camera more. Best regards!

[@thefilmalliance]

Hey there, thank you. Im happy you're getting value from my videos. I can't wait to hear what you think about your Zve10. Is it your first camera? It is Joe btw:)

[@speakerscoach]

ALL of the below comments are in appreciation of a truly excellent ZV-e10 tutorial and wonderful TV channel. At the 26:00 mark you mentioned you were unsure where Metering Mode is. Here is the explanation: Metering Modes A metering mode refers to the manner in which the camera measures the brightness of the subject. The metering mode configures which part of the scene is measured to determine the exposure. Setting the Metering Mode → [1] Camera Settings 1 → [Metering Mode] Select: Multi: The camera divides the scene into multiple areas and measures the light in each area. The camera then determines the proper exposure of the entire scene. Center: Used for when the subject is located in the center of the image. It measures the average brightness of the entire scene, but places a priority on the center of the screen. Spot: Meters for the subject located in the spot metering target. This metering mode is usually used when there is a big contrast between the subject and background. Entire Screen Avg: The camera averages the brightness of the entire scene. The exposure will remain stable if the composition changes. Highlight: Places emphasis on the highlighted areas of the screen to ensure that overexposure is avoided. copied from the great book "Sony ZV-E10 Companion: A Guide to Mastering Your Camera" (p. 329).

[@armanhemat1479]

Thank You so MUCH! You are a rocker of an explainer!!! Keep up the excellent/excellent work

[@tritrixx]

I usually turn off steadyshot (Tab 2 Page 5) when filming something static, because it crops a little bit the video. FYI, the camera will not only save the video, but the gyroscope data while filming (but be careful, it will only do it in movie mode, not slowmo mode). Sony released a software called "Catalyst browse" that can read these datas and apply a stablization on the video in post. You can choose how much you want it to stabilize with a slider.

[@artisticblog1098]

thanks man.. this is very useful bless you

[@tomas5826]

Than you so much for the in-depth and well explanations. I had this camera for around 2 weeks and everytime I tried to find the right settings from other KZbinrs. It wouldn't work to how I wanted because I wouldn't know what does what and what even manual exposure was, but thanks to you I am able to know and under stand my camera. If I saw your video the time I was looking for camera settings. I would've been taking amazing photos and amazing videos. Thank you again for the in-depth and well explanations.

Nice video, greets from Germany. I have one question about aspect ratio. When i switch in video mode to 16:9, the settings on photo mode will also switch the aspect ratio to 16:9. Do i something wrong or is it normal. So i need to change this seetings every time when i switch between the two modes?

[@MickySarge]

Great question! The aspect ratio setting actually only changes the aspect of the photos. As far as I can tell, videos will always be in 16:9.

[@AKBAAR_]

good stuff... love your videos.. this guy is good

[@jahwarrior965]

Really enjoyed the video. For those who said he went fast, you need to go fast to cover all details and menu settings in under 30 mins. I just paused. I do have an amateur question I was hoping you could straighten out for me. With regards to S & Q being set to 1080 60fps. You can’t record audio in that mode and in my assumption, that 1080 at 60 is perfect for talking head shots, where as 4k is better for outdoors and details. For most situations though, I would like 1080 60fps with audio. Can you explain why you record everything in 4k? Or if that is even the case? Any advice is appreciated.

Right, think I've got it. Watched this and many other tutorials. Am i right in saying you forgot to mention that when you set up mr1 with 100 or 120 fps, it doesnt show the slow mo settings onscreen? And it looks like its shooting normally? And we have to edit to slo mo in post? Had me stumped but think I'm right. And now i can sleep..its been a learning curve but I'm getting there. Still not sure why the level horizon line is not showing on screen though. Thx.

Hi! Great video! As I am going through it now I have a question. On Wind Noise Reduct. you have left it to "off" but you say "unless you totally want to ruin your audio leave that to on."

That shows 60fps, no audio. The 120fps just shows 120 at top. Mine was ok yesterday, doesn't seem right now. But seems ok if i go to s an q, then use that memory 1. If that makes sense. Very strange.

@@thefilmalliance Thank you for replying. My 2nd, I have a Canon 1100D which I use for overhead camera on streams, and also use it for some nature work. Looking for a more up to date camera and the ZV-E10 does appeal to me, but I know it has a few issues that I am hoping will be resolved in next revision of it. I am not desperate to get a new camera so was possibly thinking about saving a little more to get the next possible release.

If I'm in normal mode the mem recall shows 120fps, but doesn't show as per when using s an 6 60fps. I.e it still has audio monitors on, still shoots in normal frame rate.
