Saying Goodbye to my A7SIII For The Sony ZV1!?

[@KyleWattsTV]

If you turn on the high setting on the temperature setting it allows the camera to go past 5 minutes in 4K for as long as the battery lasts.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Was so sure I did this but will give it another go 👊🏼. Thanks!

[@MultiMattRogers]

that's really interesting, I feel like I keep going back and forth on whether to actually get one of these though. Do I "need" one? - no "might" it come in handy? - sure... maybe Do I enjoy buying new cameras more than is necessarily healthy? - definitely

[@KyleWattsTV]

@@MultiMattRogers I have the a7siii, a6400 and the zv1 and I use my zv1 a lot. Also works great for overhead shots

[@JamesDBuzzard]

I got this when it was released and yeah I shoot more on the ZV-1 than I do on my A7iii a7c and FX3 it is just convenient to grab and go. And the cost if I break this little guy vs my FX3... If I'm just shooting with the family or doing something for fun I'm probably going to grab the ZV-1

[@KyleWattsTV]

@@PeterLindgren1 I use mine for long overhead cam shots in my videos. Never had any issues with it turning off. (Also using a power bank when shooting so it doesn’t kill the battery

[@PeterLindgren1]

As some people pointed out, you can turn off the recording limit in 4K by adjusting the “Auto Off temp” to High. I thought I had done this but apparently not 😐🤷🏻

[@mrbert]

Nope man. I use it 4 K. And I use it for more than 32 minutes. I use it with power Bank though. Just set limit of the temperature. Don't share a wrong info man.

[@PE4Doers]

I have not had the 5-minute 4K limit as long as I set the 'Auto Power OFF Temp.' to "High" (in the Setup2 menu, screen 2/6)

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Bingo! The ZV1 is the best value in cameras on the market today. Period.

[@JamesDBuzzard]

👌🏽

[@aliabdaal]

this is interesting - looking into this exact downgrade myself :) thanks for the great video!

[@jimi272]

We tested that cam, and found it was extremely shaky if handheld, because of the small size… Also, the Dynamic Range doesn’t seem to be very big…. Went for an A7iii in the end…

[@JamesDBuzzard]

@@jimi272 I own the FX3 A7iii A7c and ZV1. Unless your getting paid I think the ZV1 would be plenty for most people. It's a little beast. Yes lowlight and DR are not as good but 🤷🏽‍♂️. It is crazy good for $650 and done. A7iii is $1700 without a lens. Stabilization on the ZV1 I think is better than the A7iii especially in active stabilization. I retired my A7iii afyer getting the A7c and ZV1.

[@JamesDBuzzard]

@D-bomb 🤣🤣

[@TechTravelBeyond]

I use both the A6400, and the ZV1. I have the video and color settings set the same, and sometimes, you cannot tell shots I've done from both cameras in the same video except when using the Sigma 16mm 1.4 on the A6400.

[@All2jPro]

The 5 min is for over heating. So if you turn of the high temperature warning in the toolbox tab2. You can record 4K without limit if you keep your camera cool...

[@PureGlide]

Nice work! I use a ZV-1 because I need it in the cockpit, so it's a great size. Yes can do 4k longer than 5 mins if set correctly. Funny how a few of your product shots would have worked better with the ZV-1, its so fast at focusing on the close up object!

[@georgesotiropoulos9935]

At 0:55 don't do that again mate. My friend's dad died from doing exactly the same thing trying to lightup the fireplace and he catched fire.

[@KRTLyfe]

What are the advantages of using this camera over an iPhone 12pro? Maybe low light performance? Maybe slightly more Bokeh? Overall tho seems like an iPhone would be slightly better choice. 1) phone is always on you. 2) Better battery performance 3) iPhone can go places a Camera can’t as easily like underwater or restricted places. 4) iPhones rarely overheat. There might be a slight trade off for image quality but….idk. Great review interesting perspective!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Image is much better due to a bigger sensor of course, but my main thing is that my phone is needed to reply to emails to, work etc, the camera is dedicated to photo and video 🤘🏼

[@KRTLyfe]

@@PeterLindgren1 okay, yeah that’s one thing about Vlogging with a phone lol . Sometimes it will default back to a phone if some one calls you and you forgot to put it in airplane mode before recording! LMAO

[@isaacturnerit]

Hi Peter I shoot with an a7iii with Tamron 17-28 for my Vlogs now but there are just some shots you can't get with a big heavy set up like that. I recently shot a vlog with a GoPro 9 just to see the diff. I def got the camera out more and shot more just cause of ease of use. The quality is not good by I think the overall video is better. Im curious about this little guy being as easy to use at the go pro.

[@4Fingr]

I think the best vlogging camera is the iPhone, because you always have it with you. It films at least as well as a zv-1

[@KaneAndPia]

Hope you have 500 batteries for that little fella. I did the same and switched back to the A7S3 within a week.

[@FrancisAlbert1990]

yo. when is the next video coming out?

[@spikeweb5193]

I got 2 and its great

[@benugdsen75]

I hooked a powerbank to it and it goes for a day, no problem. I also have a small double charger for it that I can keep in my bag with the powerbank and switch out three batteries for a whole day of shooting. ✌🏾

[@Scorge120]

Power bank, I don't think I'll ever run a camera on internal batteries again

[@drift8021]

All Sony mirrorless cameras have shit battery life.

[@ItzSKYVlogs]

Wait.... YOU HAVE A SECOND CHANNEL!!!??

[@PeterLindgren1]

Haha yeah!

[@DiversSupplyYT]

I have all three the A7iii came first, my ZV-1 came next and now A7Siii and I use them all in a mix of ways shooting for my two channels...

[@thefilmalliance]

That’s the same exact order I got my 3 cameras. It’s cool we are taking the same journey!

[@DiversSupplyYT]

@@thefilmalliance I really enjoy the differences and the 3 cameras' similarities..

[@MusharafAsghar]

I’ve been a fan of your content since you were at 20k subscribers. Amazing to see how far you’ve got. Thank you for the amazing video! Keep it up Peter

[@MTBs]

I've got one! No problems at all with it with the correct settings! BTW, product showcase is different function from the blurry background button.

[@TaskForceMediaGroup]

I've been shooting on the ZV1 since it was released. I also have the a7Siii, FX3 and Fx6 for my professional work, but in my opinion the ZV1 is the ideal vlogging camera for most people. It's such a great camera. I always take it with me. Glad to see a bigger channel like yours giving it some love. I've made videos on it, but my channel is small and doesn't have the reach you do.

[@TheNewTravel]

I use the ZV-1 as my b cam. It's alright. As you said, great for portable + low-key shots. But not a fan of poor battery + lack of fully functional touch screen. Also, I find the small size of the camera shakes more in my hand then a DSLR does. So even with stabilization, the footage just looks less smooth then my main cam.

[@CreateProMedia]

Love your lighting! Big fan of your work, and your reviews! Keep it up as it is much appreciated!

[@goldfries]

My only issue with the ZV-1 is the focal length, every time you power on you have to zoom to the focal length that you want. There's no actual indicator so it won't be perfect all the time unless you got used to it.

[@goldfries]

@itsElonzo I got a loaner from Sony and used it for some of my videos and I absolutely love it, it's just annoying that when I do A-Rolls (I set to 28mm FOV, based on FF) I have to conduct a 'zoom check' every time.

[@QasimZafar]

Great video like usual, I’ve looked into the ZV1 as it looks to be a really capable camera. Loved the slo mo b roll shots

[@BabyBackManiac]

I have a bbq channel (your intro got my attention lol) and don’t do a ton of vlogging but I just made an epic trip to central Texas and shot the whole thing on the Zv-1. I used it for the exact reasons you mentioned. This camera is a total beast. The active steady shot is excellent, the 4K (which will last forever if you change the heat settings) looks really good and the F1.8 is perfect for indoor use (and the ND is great for outside.) And the macro ability is pretty amazing. I wish the batteries last longer and the ND was a little stronger but all in all it’s an amazing little camera. I highly recommend the wide angle adapters. I forget the brand I got but it’s the one everyone was making videos about last year. It’s really a game changer for this camera.

[@SzymonZylinski]

I thought it doesn’t have nd filter?

[@BabyBackManiac]

@@SzymonZylinski it has one. It’s not the same as the variable kind in cinema cameras but it helps.

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

The ZV1 is one of the best cameras I've seen over the past few years. It's compact design alongside it's feature packed set makes it a no brainer for anyone who simply wants really good 4k video!

[@NeroMMA]

Beast of a camera. Im loving it! Grymma videor 🇸🇪

[@jasonverga9633]

Love your channel and insights! I was looking at the Sony ZV1 as a Vlog camera too, but Sony cameras sold in Japan only come with Japanese menus. I settled on the Canon M50 instead. Cheers from Tokyo!

[@KirkNishikawa]

Love the ZV-1, been rockin it for my vlogs as well. I recommend checking out the small rig cage, it helps with the annoying placement of the bottom screw.

[@ConceptNewEra]

I just bought my first Sony a7siii, and I’m super excited to start using it! Love how you explore cameras to perform different tasks! Gives a whole new perspective on different camera uses! 💯✔️🔥

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

Been looking at one the last few days the whole small and good quality and Been able to whip it out quickly. Good one thanks

[@filipinovines]

GREAT INSIGHTS! Still using A7S III as my GO SETUP Thanks bro!

[@MR-AK]

How do you like the a7Siii? Shall I wait for a7Siv??

[@dirtyd702vegas]

FOR REALS !!!

[@FrancoisTutos]

I did some cinematic footage of Rome with that ZV1. I am very impressed. Really impressive apart for stabilization and battery life.

[@nomad0714]

Hi Peter, Nice broll! I’ve had the ZV1 for awhile and here are some accessories to address what the cons you mentioned in the video: - For wider FOV, get the Ulanzi WL-1 which makes the 24mm to 18mm. The lens adapter that comes with it allows you to add filters like Freewell, Polar Pro, or other cheaper filters as the internal during bright days may not be enough - Battery: get the Ulanzi BG-2 which is rated at 6800mAh or on Amazon they sell the BG-3 (10000mAh) and BG-4 (5000mAh), etc - Cage: you have UURig, Ulanzi, and Smallrig options - Pair those above with your PGY Tech Mantis tripod and cold shoe and you got yourself a nice vlogging setup - Zoom: for more reach, you always have the clear image zoom. Here’s some measurements of the FOV that I wrote down: UltraHD 24p crop: 1.094 Active stabilization: 1.185 Combined: 1.094 x 1.185 = 1.29639 ZV-1 sensor size: 13.2mm x 8.8mm FF sensor size: 36mm x 24mm Crop factor for ZV-1 to FF (ff/ZV-1): 36/13.2 = 24/8.8 = 30/11 = 2.727 ZV-1 Crop with 24p + active stabilization: 9.4mm x 1.29639 x 2.727 = 33.2mm FF-equivalent 25.7mm x 1.29639 x 2.727 = 90.9mm FF-equivalent With the Ulanzi WL-1 Wide Angle/Macro Lens Adapter (0.75x), if you add UltraHD 24p crop + active stabilization crop, you get a FOV of: 33.2mm x 0.75 = 24.95mm FF-equivalent 90.9mm x 0.75 = 68.175mm FF-equivalent Otherwise if you keep it simple (with no active stabilization) and shooting with UltraHD 24p crop (1.094) x 24mm x 0.75, you get 19.692mm which is wide enough for vlogging. Then in post, you can use Catalyst Browse to stabilize your footage but most people may not want to take this extra step.

[@rick2bees]

I didn't make the jump to a big camera yet. I still use the Canon G7XM2 as my main camera. In size it's similar to the ZV-1, except for the lower specifications..... And I carry it with me the same way as you, side pouch..... 💪🙌

[@HuSmokin]

Great video and would love to see how this works out for you. I have been using the Ulanzi wide angle attachment for my ZV-1 to help with getting the camera view out of my nostrils for vlogging. Seriously impressed by this little camera. I'd say for me it's even more difficult to pick up my a6600 setup with the ZV-1 around... vs having a distinctly better primary rig.

[@Pendulum-Paranormal]

*The ZV 1 is one of the best cameras I've seen with an amazing 1.8 lens ....! An excellent camera.*

[@joergkampers_photography]

Love my ZV1 a lot. It's a fantastic little camera! I added the VLOG-Grip and a Smallrig cage to it. Perfect!!

[@DeerghKataria]

The Problem with any form of tech is that...The Features don't exactly increase as the price does (after a certain point). PS - Not to mention, most of the features that expensive tech products have, are almost never really used in real life.

[@smepable]

I think often the opposite is true: PCs get faster and cameras better while price stays the same. I use the highend Features i bought the A7SIII for a lot and I am happy I spent the Money and dont feel that oh i should have bought a better camera Feeling. These are great times.

[@RafalGendarz]

What about iPhone 12 comparision? I am thinking if i should upgrade but is it really upgrade? The one thing I miss is the blurry background effect and the flat log - would this Sony give me this? Or should i stay with iPhone 12?

[@StupidRaisins]

The Sony ZV1 looks like a great vlogging camera! Just put it in your pocket and go! Also, take that extra battery with you trust me I have had my camera die a few times during a shoot and that was not fun. Thanks for the review, Peter!

[@parthrajpal3574]

Thank you for making this video 😊❤️ this video is so informative ❤️😀 keep making your videos inspire us you deserve more ❤️😊

[@florianwolf-seniorcolorist906]

Love my ZV1, used it for b-cam shots, rigged it on a car and use it for vlogs on our superfilmmakers channel. What I hate is the menu and it’s a little bit too close but overall the best choice when starting a KZbin channel in my opinion.

[@SketchyOnReviews]

i used ZV1 is nice, but flip is not eye to lens friendly when vloging. battery life is poor and lens is prone to exposure of falling easily. Thus in the works for sony Z EV1 , using an Emount.

[@a750]

I did the same jump as you but instead of the ZV1 I choose the A7C with the 24 2.8, it fits into a Bellroy mini Sling and I always have it with me.

[@yousefalshamrani]

Thanks for the amazing videos U make. I learned a lot from them. I want to ask if have time to answer, I have a KZbin channel Focused on reviewing new tech an just passed 10k Subs. Would it be OK if I create new travel vlog playlist in the same channel? One thing didn’t mention is that I started my channel with travel vlogs and then switched to tech. Thank you ..

[@everydaykhiem974]

I have the ZV-1 and I really dig it. It's convenient and has all the basic essentials you need to start vlogging or making home videos. It's always in my backpack or pocket wherever I go. My only complaint for it is that I wish it has a wider field of view. Not a necessity, but have picture profile like S-Cinetone on it would be neat. I wonder if Sony will ever make a lens mount for their point and shoot. Where you can swap a variety of collapsible prime or zoom lenses. Like Sony can give you a kit set of 24-70mm but you can swap it out for either a 10-16mm, 16-35mm, 70-200mm, or even 24-200mm (like rx100 7) for trade off of aperture.

[@ActiveDad]

I use the ZV1 as vlogging camera as well over my FX3 or A7 III most of the time since I have a 18 mo old toddler that I need to be able to save from falling as well as hold a camera. I added the uurig R054 plate to the bottom so I could attached the handle and still access the battery door which has been great. I also added the Ulanzi WL-1 which is the wide angle lens attachment which is a must in my opinion. The only downside is it won't fit in your pocket or pouch anymore. I'll sacrifice that though for the extra focal length.

[@PaulHillGuitarist]

I just returned from reserving a ZV1 in a store and I will be trading my EOS 700D. Focusing has always been a problem in my studio (no windows, dark acoustic foam on the walls that sucks out all the light, etc.) and from what I have seen online, focusing will no longer be an issue with the ZV1. I would never record video using my 700D when performing live as it is massive, but I definitely will with the ZV1. As you said, the best camera is the one you have with you. :)

[@kyrgeorge]

I was waiting a video from you for the zv1. Now i'm sure that the zve10 is coming out faster than i expected.

[@K-Visuals]

Thanks for this video! I'm thinking to buy that camera too

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Nice little beast camera. Myself I really want the A7C for a 2nd camera for vlogs and to use my FF lenses. I would also use it for a 2nd camera for low light photos. I do a fair bit of timelapse photography and instead of sitting there I can sometimes use a second FF camera to take more stills while the timelapse is shooting. But I need to $ave first

[@Rcschim]

Nice to see a big KZbinr actually using this now. I have it for a few months now and thoughts it's out 1yr or so and will be outdated already when I got it ;) I would only use original batteries, cheap ones usually suck. Menu isn't great, but once you modified the settings into your own menu it's nice. I think this is the cheapest option to get this really good Sony af, before getting the zv1 I considered buying a much more expensive a7r2 used... because my gh5 has let me down with af so often ;) greets, Mario

[@ScottEdwards]

I’m so tempted to get one of these to go along with my Sony A7c and tamron lenses. I love my A7c so much but the ease of the zv1, I feel like I’ll capture more natural things rather than making sure everything is set up correct before clicking record.

[@dragonfist25]

It's super handy. I keep it in my gym bag and it's perfect for social events with going into full photographer mode.

[@sparketech]

I can record a good 2 hours in one go and I use a dummy battery with a battery pack as per my video "Sony ZV1 Accessories & Eliminate Battery Life Issues" Of course allow high temps, I also always flip open the view screen.

[@1nonlyduppa]

You can get a wide angle lens from Ulanzi that gives you about 16-18mm equivalent. It has an adhesive adapter that goes on the front of the camera.

[@pierrebauduin1615]

Really enjoy this ZV1. I bough it in January to make vlogs again and I'm really happy with this so far! My previous vlogs were done with my Samsung S7: huge difference.

[@POSYPANO]

I agree ! I've been using only ZV1 instead of A7c lately! Bravo for this movie. Greetings from Norway.

[@biohazard2030]

I just got mine! I love it! My main rig is an Sony A7C with a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 and a Rode Video Mic Pro Plus. This is my main Content creator camera (I got a 24-70mm for client work). I use it for vlogging sometimes but I get so scared to break it (especially my sigma lens) that I barely take it out. With the ZV1 I find myself wanting to create and vlog more! And yeah the 24 mm is a little tight. But once I added the Ulanzi wide angle lens with an adapter, plus the ulanzi cage and tripod It is a TINY BEAST! I can say that it has become my main vlogging set up.

[@EspenJohan]

Hey Peter, do you using any stabilization on the zv1 when vlogging and others. I see your footage looks really smooth, I see that on your other channel. Thanks

[@jalladin]

Thanks, @PeterLindgren I own both cameras and (16-35 lens) but always felt limited in my mobility because of the A7III's size to bring everywhere. I shelved the ZV-1 because it lacked in comparison to the A7III as far as capability. But watching your made me realize I can do most of my videos with the ZV-1... wow that looked so amazing.

[@recideas]

I totally agree, a small compact camera is the better vlogging camera👍🏻I vlog on my GoPro Hero 7 Black + Sennheiser MKE200 and I'm so happy with this setup 😁

[@thefullmonte1902]

So happy to hear this. I have a ZV1 and I'm VERY happy with the camera Looking forward to the ZV-2- where the 24mm is fixed and more customizable buttons are implemented.

[@drift8021]

Zv E10 comes out this year. Interchangeable lenses.

[@OutHereHavingAPint]

Yaaas! Thank you for this video. I'm in the same boat. I dont want to vlog on my eosr because how big it is. Gonna get this for my vlogs!

[@MoeZainal]

This is a good camera but I don't understand why won't they make it wider than 24mm ... It's just too tight, especially if it was aimed at vloggers, the same goes for their other action cameras... Like this so Sony can see it!

[@WalkWithWallace]

Probably because it's a reinvented RX100 mk5. It is tight, but it's workable.

[@joshmoxeyarchives]

This is really fascinating. Strongly considering getting a setup of ZV-1 as a vlogging/B-Roll/2nd angle camera, and A7C as the main camera. Thanks for sharing your insights man!

[@djjrodnyc]

You can shoot longer 4K just go into the settings and turn off high temperature. And plus you need an external battery connected. As I do. So I could shoot 4K as long as that external battery allows me and the limitation of my memory card

[@MarioSoMedia]

It's great to hear your thoughts on this. I have been eyeing this for a while only for the HFR feature for that one super slow mo shot for my product videos 😅

[@GuysontheGrid]

Been thinking about buying this camera but am afraid once I do, the ZV-2 will come out.

[@vacuumandgaspressurecoexisting]

They announced the successor a while back (ZV-E10) it will basically be the same camera with the option to change lenses, slightly larger battery and a larger sensor.. all in all pretty disappoining because we all expected 4k60p at the very least. Think they will release it later this year. Used price for zv1s are good now though.

[@Phamtom_images]

I also downsized to the zv1 for it's portability. whats the pouch that you use on your belt for the zv1? Im looking for a belt pouch that will fit the zv1 with a small rig grip.

[@DocRock]

Exactly why i bought the z-1 in January. Bonus the price just dropped and because so many people underestimate this gem you can almost always find perfect open box stock. I got mine for $550 at Best Buy

[@ZaidiHassan]

I have zv1 and i love it so much . It is much easier for vlogging.

[@sunlit777]

Does it dim the display in 4K mode and even further when controlled by bluetooth gimbal, like other RX series cameras do?

[@aquinoj99]

Yes it does. I use a remote instead of the gimbal’s controls.

I'd rather just use my iPhone than get another small camera and have to carry around extra batteries and have short 4K clips.

[@Francisco_Otero]

Yup

[@louloowebvideos]

Glad to see that you appreciate this little SONY ZV-1 ... compared to your SONY A7SIII and its wide optics, and Canon Micro mandatory. I also have this SONY ZV-1, and I admit being very happy with it, because it gives an excellent image, the sound is good, even with wind. On the other hand, the angle of view is quite tight in VLOG, but on the other hand, I was able to film as much as I wanted, not limited to 5 minutes per video ... in any case, in 4K 25fps ... When I shoot videos in 1080p 100fps, I only take short shots, so no worries. But it is clear that a good VLOG camera is a camera that you have on hand all the time, to film often and easily. Have you activated ND Filter Mode? what do you think ? Yes, the Battery is very limited, and suddenly, I have 3 batteries, and it's nickel. thanks Peter.

[@PhotographyGoals]

Love this as a second camera to keep with me most of the time.

[@one901]

I had the ZV1 but the tighter focal length and the horrible battery life made me return it. I just my Osmo action more now mainly because I can drop it and submerge it in water and it's fine. The battery also lasts longer lol

[@michaelmarcano9200]

You can buy an adapter I believe to widen the field of view to give you a wider field of view. I'm pretty sure I saw someone review it here on youtube. Hope this helps!

[@PeterLindgren1]

No idea, I bought mine because I needed a good vlog camera. No idea if Sony is dropping a new one 🤷🏻

I switched my main camera (Sony a6500) to this after watching this video. It's like a major upgrade for me. It's such a nice little camera.

[@SidsDrakon]

I think for vlog purposes it is great. It is so much easier to pop that out than an A7S3 and a 16-35mm its a lot of camera. Its all about how u use it. Peter is making some kick butt vlog with that FYI.

[@ruggedreview6064]

Great video. Have to ask, if you already have an expensive kit, is it worth getting the ZV1 when the typical smartphone (iPhone 12 Pro etc..) can produce similar results?

[@CamillaI]

An amazing camera the ZV-1 looking forward to the upgrade but replaced my A7III for one six months back ! Never regretted it awesome little camera ! 👍😍

[@Squidpaws-]

@Peter Lindgren thanks for some more tips on the ZV-1. This little beast is actually my A-Cam for my small YT channel @Kyle Watts is correct with the temp setting adjustment. I shoot 4k until my battery dies with no issue. Love your content and will check out your vlogging channel as well.

[@tollbar5468]

Interesting video. May I ask: If you shoot full HD(1920x1080) is the resulting clip a bit on the 'soft' side. I have the RX100 Mk3, shot a 50 sec clip and was somewhat disappointed with the video because of this 'softness' which I assume must come from the downsampling. The video from my Sony PJ810 (full HD only) is streets ahead - sharp and crisp from a very small sensor. I'm a bit reticent in buying this ZV1 - > Cheers

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

I have a Sony ZV1 video coming out tomorrow too. I have the Sony a7c and I find myself reaching for the ZV-1 for all the reasons you mentioned. It is so convenient to use. Do you have a affiliate link for the man bag to store it?

[@virtualpattaya6]

@Peter Lidgren are you using any picture profile with the ZV-1?

[@Calvillo]

Cost & maintenance are two things to keep in mind. Maintenance gets forgotten often until it’s time for repairs. Great video brother!

[@GilbertTV]

the ZV1 is the perfect on the go camera , for vloggers the wide angle adapter you can get will help with those tight shots

[@BrionneOlsen]

The ZV-1 is my first camera I got and still my main vlogging camera. I am very impressed by the quality and even the HLG grading. Not sure about the 5 min cap you’re taking about. I do talking head vlogging almost in 4K all the time and my longest I’ve recorded continuously was 50 minutes on 1 charge 🤷🏽‍♂️. Perhaps switch auto power-off from standard to high? If you haven’t done so.

[@PeterLindgren1]

I got 20 minutes continuous 4K recording out of it before it died, but will have a look at the overheating setting again. Was sure that I turned it off 😂

Can you put an ND filter on that little lens? Or do you have to crank up your shutter or apeture when shooting outside?

I can totally relate to this. I have an A7iii and I find I use my iPhone and Insta360 more because they're lightweight and compact. Plus the A7iii doesn't have a flippy screen, so can't see the framing.

As the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you all the time. That's either your cell phone or a compact camera. Can't wait to try out a 1 inch sensor camera on a cell phone someday (which might be sooner than expected).

Hello! Do you use standard profile to record this video? Or slog? Hlg? The quality is amazing!!

[@HomesickMac]

Hm, since I have an old A5100 fully functioning for that running & gunning (apart from having to record audio separately...) the ZV-1 isn't actual for me, but I did recommend it to several friends because of all the points you mentioned. It is a very very nice camera.
