Tips
ISO
Native 125–12800; keep ≤3200 for clean 1-inch results. Multi-frame NR up to ISO 25600.
Aperture
f/1.8 in wide angle, f/2.8 at 70 mm. Bokeh button (C1) for instant background blur.
The Sony ZV-1 features a built-in ND filter that can be activated through the menu. This helps reduce incoming light, allowing you to work with larger apertures for shallower depth of field even in bright conditions.
Use the Sony ZV-1's real-time eye AF function to ensure your subject's eyes are sharply focused. This is especially useful for portraits, as the eyes are tracked even when your subject moves.
The ZV-1's vari-angle touchscreen allows you to compose shots from creative angles. Use it to take shots from low or high angles without straining your neck.
Enable focus peaking on the Sony ZV-1 to highlight sharply focused areas with a color overlay. This makes manual focusing easier and more precise.
Customize the C1 button on the ZV-1 to quickly access a frequently used setting, such as switching between Picture Profiles to adapt quickly to different shooting conditions.
Bokeh button (C1) switches between sharp background and maximum blur with one press.
