Great! How do you do color correction?

[@um_ellah]

Until this video, I was using CapCut (the desktop version) to color grade. I recently started shooting in slog so I’ve started using davinci resolve and loving it so far!

[@brionbagh]

i absolutely love how you colour graded this video... its cinematic but also dreamy and then it also has a bit of a light and airy feeling.... ITS JUST SOOOOOO GOOOOOD !!!🫶🫶🫶

[@um_ellah]

Thank you!

[@demonking8984]

I love your vibe keep going! I'm also planning to get this camera can't wait tbh. Your channel is a breath of fresh air in the loud and competitive social media space

[@um_ellah]

Thank you so much!!

[@JCEcho13]

I love how calm your video is

[@um_ellah]

Thank you! 😊

[@deeparun6761]

pure happiness in the video ❤❤❤

[@soggunnuggos982]

Eventhough you’re a beginner, every shot was beautiful. The color grading is beautiful as well! Continue learning ☺️

[@um_ellah]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@captureinsidethesound]

Great video. Simplistic and straight to shooting. The camera was designed for this very purpose but also can be used professionally. I wouldn't worry about expensive lenses that go down to f2.8 or lower (fast lenses) unless you are serious about photography. Two VERY important bits of info: 1. S-LOG requires 2 stops over in order to get things correct in Resolve (color grading). This is crucial to learn and its odd that Sony doesnt express this enough but there are plenty of videos explaining how to do it, assuming you want to learn the benefits of S-LOG and Cine profiles. Personally, i use Cine4 for low-light scenarios and S-LOG 2 for brigther shots. S-LOG 3 is only beneficial with 10-bit and unfortunately, that's only available with the a6700 and above line. I use the a6300 and BMPCC 4K. 2. Get a ND filter lol. Plenty of videos on this as well ;)

[@um_ellah]

Thank you sm for the tips!

[@jaredalbin5658]

The short film was really cool actually! I love how many shots you did! Changing angles to really invite me in with drinking the tea and just relaxing. I know there is a lot of learn with settings etc, but you definetly have a creative eye. Please continue! :)

[@um_ellah]

Thanks a ton!

[@KSymoneCafe]

I love this! Can’t wait to get my Sony Camera. I’m inspired by your short film ❤

[@TalkativeNerd]

Looks so great! I'm happy for you.

[@um_ellah]

Yes! Thank you!

[@ennzzo48]

I loved the unboxing and review. But more than that, I loved watching you. You are so pretty 😍

[@um_ellah]

Thank you so much!!

[@sachikojoi]

I got my sony zv e10. I love everything about this video, the aesthetics, music and cozy vibes. I cant wait to unbox mine too 😊

[@um_ellah]

Have fun!

[@foto-fw1lz]

2500 iso and an aperture of f6.3 that is crazy you should defenetly lower that iso cause it makes the photo's more noisy and lower the aperture to something like 4-2.8 to leave more light in

[@um_ellah]

Thanks for the tip! I’m a total beginner so definitely learning slowly as I go 🥹

[@TedEhioghae]

You mean *2500* ISO and *5.6* aperture. Right?

[@timurfalko607]

iso under 8000 is fine especially with Lightroom

[@AliazAfe]

You shouldn’t set iso more than 1600. It’s better to add more light.

[@GeeBao2204]

Nothing crazy tho, the sony kit lens is a variable aperture lens so when you zoom in all the way (50mm) the maximum aperture is 5.6. Plus you can always remove the noise in post but you can’t add sharpness so 2000 iso is still ok.

[@corykphotography]

Keep your ISO value as low as you can to not introduce grain. Set your Aperture (f-stop) low as well, it will open up your lens's iris to allow more light to hit the sensor. Shooting in aperture priority helps alot because it will auto set your shutter speed and you can manually select your ISO starting from the lowest number and bumping it up one at a time to reach the exposure you need. And with digital its always best to under expose and raise the shadows in Lightroom or Photoshop later. Happy shooting!

[@masterklazzdancers]

Is this camera good enough for shooting an (underground artist) music videos and dance videos as well?

[@um_ellah]

I’m not totally sure. But, I would say as long as you invest in a good lens, it should pretty much be good for anything!

[@masterklazzdancers]

@@um_ellah any lens recommendation please?

[@josehidalgo1000]

Me gustó mucho su video, colores cálidos cinemáticos, transmite mucha paz!

Is the kit lens good or i have to buy a sigma lens ?????

[@um_ellah]

I find that it’s good with good lighting, not so great in low lit environments :/

[@sahid_rl]

@@um_ellah so are you planning to buy another lens in future?

Which one did u film this video with

[@techsport1]

My box doesnt have usb charger brick included, the cables were given.

[@um_ellah]

The kit lens pretty much comes with everything you need (sans as card)

[@parbondutta]

I am also waiting for the day..when I will be also able to buy the zve10 😓😓

[@um_ellah]

hope it happens soon!

[@TheriiYuh]

how good is this camera for photography and photos in general?

[@um_ellah]

I’ve found that it’s really great for videos and that’s what I use it for mostly. It’s really good for photos too (wayyyy better than a phone) but I don’t have much experience in photography to be the best judge of this :/ I settled on this camera because I was planning on focusing on videos more than photos

[@johnwking29]

Does it work under the water??

[@um_ellah]

I don’t think so, no
