I was wanting to use my camera for outside vlogging but the settings are like rocket science...I use my other phone... very difficult to set up this camera
To start with vlogging, set your shutter speed to 1/48 and a frame rate of 24fps. If you want a smoother look to your vlogs, you can set the shutter speed to 1/60 and the frame rate to 30fps. You can leave everything else on auto for now. Also turn on face and eye auto focus so your face will be in focus when vlogging. Turn on Standard Steady Shot (optical stabilization) to minimize shaking in your videos. I recommend getting a handheld tripod so your ZV1 is further from your face, it can be really close if vlogging with it in your hand or decide to use Active Steady Shot). Later on, when you become comfortable with adjusting more settings, you can adjust your ISO and white balance to avoid brightness and color levels changing while vlogging. If you need further help, please don't hesitate to ask!
@@abcammym You're very welcome! And don't worry. It was very difficult for me as well at first. What helped me was consistent practice until I felt confident that it wasn't anymore. I know for sure once you get everything down, you will be able to capture pics and record vids better than any smartphone can do now!
@thefitlifechannel2021 thanks so much for all your help 👍....Am going to France for a few days but am not taking my Sony zv1 it's to late now to get everything looking good..but once I return I will start using my zv1 👍👍
I have the Sony zv1..I find the system so difficult I got my camera last year...and I still don't know what to do with the settings absolutely rocket science 🔭😢
Yes, the settings can be intimidating at first. I recommend using shutter priority (S), aperture (A) priority or program mode (P) first to eventually transition into manual mode for photos. If you're recording fast moving subjects, use shutter priority. Start with a shutter speed of 1000+ and keep increasing it if your subject is still blurry. Everything else is kept on auto so you only have to focus on shutter speed and your subject's movement. Aperture priority is useful for low light or bright light. You would just adjust the aperture to compensate for the lighting of your scene. Everything else is adjusted automatically. If you have low light, start with an aperture of f2.8. You can go all the way to f1.8 to allow more light to reach the camera's sensor. For daylight and bright scenes, start with f4.0. If still too bright, you can try going up to f8 and above. This will let less light into the sensor allowing you to control bright scenes. If you're photographing a scene that doesn't have fast moving subjects, try program mode. You would only adjust the exposure to compensate for the brightness or darkness of your scene (the exposure setting is the box with the + and - signs in black and white on the back of your camera). The camera will adjust everything automatically for you including shutter speed and aperture. Thats why only use it if not fast-moving subjects or the pics might come out blurry. If the scene is too dark, increase the exposure. If too bright, you just decrease it. If you practice with all three of these modes, you're getting close to using most of the settings many people use for manual photography. However, these three settings are excellent for most types of photography and produce great photos.
@@thefitlifechannel2021 Am going to stick my head into this camera I need to sort everything out ...Am hopeless with technology am old school... thanks for everything 🙏
@@abcammym Don't worry, you will be comfortable using your ZV1 beyond auto mode once you start using the other modes more often. Truthfully, I mostly adjust shutter speed, aperture and ISO when taking pics. I will adjust white balance and focus if my camera is having issues matching my scene or keeping my subject in focus but that's rare. And it's easier for videos because you just set the shutter speed and frame rate, leave it alone and adjust ISO and white balance. And keep your aspect ratio at 16:9. Sometimes use manual focus if I want to start off blurry on my subject and proceed to making them sharper. You can look at how to use the histogram on your ZV1 to keep bright and dark areas in check (or to enhance or deemphasize them) and it's something I use all the time for both photos and video. The most important thing is that learning the settings is essential but don't forget the artistic side as well. Capturing the emotion and beauty of a scene, using lighting to illuminate or darken a subject, color balance and contrast, where you place your subject(s) in a scene, and telling a story with your photo or video clip is equally as important. Many great photos and vids have been captured using auto mode as well!

@thefitlifechannel2021 brilliant reply from u am going to do exactly what you have told me 👌
@thefitlifechannel2021 Its my first camera that I have ever bought... technology is difficult for me..thanks again 👌
