Ha! Thanks Mark :)

you know it, brother!! 👍👍

[@kelwinkwel]

Lets’s Go Mark!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@sylvestergomes3078]

For people like me who are gonna get the ZV E-10 soon this guy is a god sent. Really appreciate your videos, Mark. You are literally ironing out every possible confusion and difficulty that another fellow ZV E-10 user might have. Keep up the good work pal. 👍🏼

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!! It’s fun stuff. 👍👍

[@GarrettBohannon5]

Mark, I recently started shooting with a ZV-10 that I purchased after watching your videos. Now I'm watching even more to hone my photo and video. I love that you keep all of the points together in the top left and right of the screen in all of your videos. It allows me to screenshot after you've explained for quick reference. I've never seen someone else do this and it's pretty freaking cool. Cheers.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!! it’s a pretty simple formula - but it does seem to help. 👍

[@pranildeshmukh7209]

Arey you still using Zv10? I was thinking to buy it but confused if it's still relevant.

[@roxysanime]

@@pranildeshmukh7209of course it is still relevant! Is has the best camera award for 2021-2022 and is still relevant until this day especially if you want to start shooting or vlogging or a KZbin channel

I subscribed to you since I saw how cool you are explaining the things so easy that I don't understand before. Also, I'm really convinced to buy ZVE10 because of your review.

[@ColinKlupiec]

Yes, I agree. I use active steadyshot on the ZV-1 for the crop when filming up close in small spaces. Great hack.

I bought the 16mm Sigma lens thanks to you. I did not use your link but had a friend who wanted to get the smaller MM lens and ended up selling me his 16mm for $200. Great deal and yes it's a beast with my ZV-E10 with the Zhiyun Crane M3. Thanks by the way for replying back to me on your other video. Nice to see content creators reaching out to people who chat with them. Amazing channel. Still love the humor in them. --chris

[@Lorbuverse]

That's really helpful for a new user of a ZV-E10 😀 Good explained and showed all functions. Only one question i did not see the answer: When you use clear image zoom and you crop in by 1.5 or 2.0, is it with the crop still in 4k or does the crop resizes the complete videoresolution? Thanks in advance for your answer and keep on with Videos of the camera 😉🙏

[@itsjosephhenry]

I watched so many of this guys camera videos in the past 2 days lmao. Made the switch from the canon m50 to the Sony ZV E10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I have an m50 myself, but the zv-e10 is much more capable on the video front 👍

[@Mandelrot]

Absolutely great video (I just bought the ZV-E10 after watching your review about the camera and I'm super happy with it). A beginner question: this "zoom" achieved with the SteadyShot and the Clear Image Zoom just crops the image but doesn't change the lens distortion/effect, right? So if you want the actual longer focal image (example: 50 mm for portrait) you need the optical lens.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes, it’s just a crop and a smart upscale that Sony does in camera that will give you better results than cropping in post

[@saladin_r]

Hi Mark, your series is great and I've watched most of it so far. Do you have more info on how to shoot slow motion on the e10? Would appreciate a show case on your approach. Thanks keep up the great work!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

For slow motion, I use the HD mode 120fps (100fps in PAL). I don’t use s&q because it has a lower bit rate so the image won’t be quite as good.

[@saladin_r]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks man, you're really doing good work here and am getting immense value.

[@sergiotavares8736]

Great video! The Active Steady Shot and Clear Image Zoom tips are awesome for my own use (talking head stuff, zoom, etc). Quick question: what's the distance between you and the ZV-E10 when you recorded this? How far was the camera?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The camera was about 4 feet away

[@DerGesellschaftskritiker]

The Sigma 16mm is overkill! :D I love it too!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@ElizabethaKaur]

Great content Mark! Always delivering tons of value! The best PP for the zve10 seems to be PP10 HLG3 and the best PP for the a7iv is s-log3. How do you match the footage of both cameras? Are HLG3 and s-log3 close enough after applying only the color correction or do you have to do extra editing?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I find it’s easier to match the cine2 profile with slog3 when using the leemingluts

​@@MarkBennettCameraCrisiszve10 is only 8 bit 4:2:0 camera, how do you grade as a7mark4 that 10bit 4:2:2 camera?

[@dynamlllilte4230]

That ending made my day LMAO! thanks so much for the amazing video im learning so much about cameras that i though was alien language before now im getting to understand it more and more! Thanks so much i was looking to buy a Sony a6000 line camera but now that i discovered from your videos that this camera is 10 times better than the others for mainly video which is what i need and the price! Damn amazing! Dont know if you make already but would love to see a video explaining the difference between the sigma 16mm and the 30mm and if it would be worth only buying the body and then like a sigma 16mm or the body and pay 100 euros more and buy with the sony kit lens which is the 18-50mm? Anyways thanks so much for the amazing video! And dont forget to drink that Apple juice! Have a good one! 😃

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The kit lens is nice to have - because sometimes, you just need it. But once you get some lenses, the kit lens will likely be used as a backup only. Since it’s only $100 - it’s nice to have it as a backup. The 16mm is a much wider lens that can be useful for vlogging and filming yourself in general. The 30 is a great focal length for walking around taking pictures or video where you have enough room to keep the camera away from the talent. There is a third lens which is the Sigma 56mm which is great for portraits as well 👍

[@koemneth]

i love it zv-e10

[@hologrammafilmes]

Perfect!

[@Lovestroem]

Wonderful informtaion. Does the active stabilization crop really not lose resolution (like when zooming in)? I have a Canon R6 which has a crop mode (works with the sensor area instead of zooming) and the resolution really equals filming at the equivalent focal length - while zooming causes severe resolution loss in comparison. Is it the same with the zv-e10?

[@smartwarden]

Hi, amazing video like usual. Is it possible to use those zoom features you mentioned in Photo mode not just for video ? Thank you!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You can’t use the image stabilization crop at all in photos. You can use clear image zoom, but only in jpeg. And since most people shoot raw, the zoom isn’t very useful in photos

[@ICEMANKENNYTV]

Thanks for the awesome videos, very informative and entertaining! I'm buying the zv-e10 because of you thank you. I want to purchase a 16mm lens but I cannot afford the Sigma that you use. Can you recommend a decent 16mm lens that is a little more cost effective? I would greatly appreciate it.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The sigma 16mm 1.4 is at BandH for $374. You will not really find a cheaper 16 than that bhpho.to/3KjCIQS But if that is not in your price range, order the kit lens with the ZV-E10 because it zooms out to 16mm and is decent quality. Check out the video I did about the kit lens. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4SnoqOagd1lgc0

Hi Mark, thank you for all the amazing content that you've created for the ZVE10. I decided to go for my first mirrorless based of your videos. Absolutely love them!! 😊 Now that I've got the camera and learning to use it, I have a question and hope you can answer it. For the Sony Full Frames, there's a setting under ISO called ISO Auto Min SS which sets the lower limit for Shutter speed at Aperture priority mode. I'm trying to find the same for the ZVE10 and couldn't find it anywhere and not even on blogs, community pages etc. Have you used this or know where it's available?

My old 5100s run cooler with Airplane Mode off. I don't use the wireless features except when I use the remote app, Camoodoo. Good hacks to know. I am getting a little more interested in the ZV-E10, but still think it is a bit of a lateral move. I really would like a camera with 10-bit 4:2:2 internal in an APS-C format ... I might get one ZV -- while I wait. You are pretty persuasive in your reviews of the little guy. Cheers.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Haha. Thanks JR!! 10bit would be amazing. Interesting about that airplane mode - I wonder if it’s the same for the ZV

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@ThisIsAquaculture Awesome!

[@DoppioScarico]

Hi Mark, you are great! One question, for the basic kit lens of the zve-10 for a more stable shooting is it better to use steady shot or can you also use the standard function since the basic kit lens allows it? Are they stabilized the same way? Thanks in advance, greetings from Italy!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would use the active steady shot. It should work together with the lens. if you do standard, you will only use the lenses stabilization and it won’t be much

[@kurtmanderbach8164]

Hey Mark. I love these videos! I am creating videos for my 9 piece event band. I use LED lighting that flashes and changes colors. Do you have any setting suggestions for this obviously difficult lighting situation? Thanks

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

do manual settings ahead of time. shutter speed 1/50, aperture whatever you want, but for a 9piece back, you might want f9 to keep more in focus, manually focus, choose a white balance like 5600 and set your iso to 100if you can. raise it if you need to. But with changing lights, you’ll want the camera in manual so that it won’t change settings when if senses a change in the lights.

Mark, this is MADNESS! That be a good thing, btw. How you concisely categorize the hack and keep it simple for knuckleheads like me is awesome! Heya, I have the same lens and camera and will do talking head AND outdoor exercise filming. As I want to capture full length body but, I'd like to eliminate the background distraction (jungle gym stuff, benches, trees, etc.). But, I don't want to film against a wall as the colors are cool. How can I get the most bokeh so people focus on the exercise host (standing distance, different lens, camera settings, etc.). Thanks

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Which is your lens, the kit or the Sigma 16? If you want more blur, use the backround blur button on the ZV-E10, or set your camera to Aperture Priority and keep you fstop as low as possible (1.4 on the Sigma). also, stand as far away from the background as you can. The more room behind you, the more out of focus blur.👍

@@tadbubs The only issue is that if you are outside, with you aperture down all the way you may need an ND filter (sunglasses for your lens) so that your image isn’t too bright. But test it out first and see.
