Aperture
Use the front command dial to adjust aperture quickly while composing your shot.
The Sony ZV-E1 features a vari-angle touchscreen that allows you to shoot from creative angles. Use it to compose shots from low perspectives or overhead without straining your neck.
Take advantage of the Sony ZV-E1's Picture Profiles to enhance your photos' mood. Try using PP8 for a cinematic look when shooting street scenes or sunsets.
The ZV-E1's 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) helps you capture sharp images in low light. This feature is particularly useful for handheld shooting at night or indoors.
Use the electronic viewfinder (EVF) of the Sony ZV-E1 to access the live histogram. This helps you ensure proper exposure by showing real-time brightness levels in your scene.
Customize the C1 button on the ZV-E1 for quick access to your favorite settings, such as toggling focus peaking. This speeds up your workflow and keeps your focus precise.
