Thank you!!! Hyped you learned something 💪🔥 stay tuned to the channel for more ZVe10 content in the next few months!

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Thanks boss! Which lens should I get for zv e10 I love making vdo about motorcycle for instagram reels , please help this noobish. Thank you 🙏

@@Jikkozilla It’s hard to go wrong with the sigma 18-55mm f2.8 if you want something to do it all. But if it were me personally and I already had the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the ZVe10, I’d go with the sigma 35mm f1.4 I showed a screenshot of in the video 😉

@@VisionaryFilmStudios thank you very much 🫡

Thank ya! 💪

We did our best! Thanks!!

@@VisionaryFilmStudios does this camera have auto focus lol please say yes 😅

@@malik_theactorrosier2369 absolutely does!

You got it 💪🏻🔥

Thank you!

😎🔥💪

Thank ya!

Thanks!! I mainly use the Rode NTG3 for 90% of what I shoot for a given video, but I also use the Rode Video Mic Pro and Wireless Filmmaker Lavalier system when the NTG3 isn't the best option for the shot.

Thank ya! Appreciate the kind words! For that shot with the black background, I’m just using 3 point lighting to light the shot, which is what I teach in the video! Also working on some more in depth lighting tutorials so stay tuned for that ;)

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Will do. Peace.

☺️🔥

So true! Your camera doesn’t make great films. You do. If you haven’t seen it already, you might enjoy the bts for the short I just shot on the ZVe10 😉 here’s a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-argMyPU-ulg.htmlfeature=shared

💪🔥

Glad it was beneficial for you!!

😄🔥💪

That’s awesome! So glad they’re making things easier for you! Anything specific I could make a video that that you think would especially help you out?

That’s the goal!! 💪🔥

So true!!

🔥💪

After watching your video, literally bought one today 👊@@VisionaryFilmStudios

🔥💪

Awesome! Love from the US!!

Working on the next video right now! Expect some more ZVe10 related content coming in the next few months!!

😎💪

I definitely wouldn’t use it as a substitute for color correction / color grading. But imo it gives you a better starting point for doing your grade. Generally for most videos though, I don’t actually grade the footage. I just do a quick color correction and call it a day. When I’m editing a film I definitely do, or for big commercials I do. But for social media content (including my RU-vid videos) I pretty much never do.

Love the idea, gonna keep that in my back pocket for future videos 😉

Hey thank ya for the support! Glad you enjoyed the video!!

You're going to love it!

Heyyy welcome to the party!! 🎉🎈🎊

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Thanks

🔥🔥💪

💪

No luts, I do all my color manually

@@VisionaryFilmStudios that 1:20 is what I want to achieve in my shot. I just bought this camera yesterday. I like all the comments hopesully pulls the algo

@@thewestpost gotcha! Yeah so that shot actually has very little color correction done to it at all. I’m just using the color settings shown later in the video, and am using basic three point lighting. Between those two things there wasn’t a lot of need for editing color in post.

Did my best 💪🏻🔥 thanks!!

You’re the GOAT! Appreciate the love 🔥

Not my best work, but I made this a while back and unlisted it- in it I use my a7Siii but all the settings are completely the same except you’ll be shooting in 8 bit instead of 10 bit (which is totally fine). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wuis4_OLZ1A.htmlfeature=shared

Hey! To answer you're question directly, the ZVe10 is my number 1 camera recommendation for filmmakers looking to spend less that $2k on their camera! As far as the rolling shutter, if you do a lot of whip pans or handheld shots with no stabilization and that sort of thing you'll definitely see the rolling shutter come out in the footage. In the case of whip pans, the bit of distortion during the pan really doesn't matter to me personally- its only on for a few frames. When it comes to the handheld shots, I'd recommend not really shooting a lot of handheld shots on the ZVe10 with no stabilization- I'd use a monopod or a tripod or the active stabilization in the camera or a gimbal or something like that. Using any of those options, the rolling shutter really isn't even going to be something you ever notice while using the camera. When it comes to still photography, I've used it for some photography and the rolling shutter has never ruined a photo for me. Maybe if you're going to shoot a lot of high action events (like sports) it could present an issue for sure, but outside of that I wouldn't worry about it at all. Not to drop spoilers but... I'm actually in the process of shooting a short film on the ZVe10 right now that will release on this channel in a few weeks along with a TON of bts on how I made a film with the ZVe10. Haven't announced it anywhere yet though so keep that on the DL 😉

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Thanks for the fast reply! You gave me a lot of good info, now I'm more inclined towards buying it! One of my other concerns was the zoom, but I think that with the kit lens I'll be able to get some good shots. Once again, thank you for the in-depth explanation, I'm already subscribed and I'll be waiting for your new short film and bts footage for sure!

@@jp17817 you’ll definitely be able to get some great shots with the kit let’s- and you can always upgrade your lens later on down the road!

I’d get the 30mm! I misspoke when I recorded the video and had to fix it when I was editing by showing the screenshot. Sorry for the confusion!!

Tryna make you drink from a fire hydrant 🔥🌊

That’s awesome thanks for the support!!

Man I appreciate the support 💪🏻 welcome to the party 😎🔥

Thank ya! We're on the way to big things!

@@VisionaryFilmStudios the ZVE10 works great for me in my videos.

@@CarnivoreKipp it’s a great camera for sure!

Yes! I use the same recording and color settings for interior and exterior. The only thing I change is exposure settings and white balance for interiors vs exteriors.

Glad I was able to help! The letter stand for color. Y for yellow, m for magenta, g for green, etc. When you get the zve10 out of the box, there tends to be a little bit of a tint to the footage. So these settings correct for that!

Perfect settings for inside and outside! Here’s a video I did talking about setting exposure settings for inside versus outside! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIvH17QU4iA.htmlfeature=shared Make some killer videos!

If you’re already being intentional about your color settings, you may not need to worry about it. Maybe just set one of the other picture profiles to what I showed in the video and compare to see if you like what you’re using now or my settings better. Specifically I’d be looking at skin tones and which represents color a little more naturally. Also pay attention to image sharpness, as the zve10 tends to be a bit over sharp. Let me know what you think after you compare!

DEFINITELY not “better” overall.. smdh..🤦🏽‍♂️ When you learn more about e-mount lenses and accessories, you’ll understand.. the lens is fixed with the e1. In terms of dynamic range and usability, it’s night and day in favor of the e10…I shot a complete nature documentary, with close-up shots that you would NEVER be able to get with your e1.. it’s great for point and shoot for RU-vid though.😂

The ZVe10 would be a great podcasting camera! Just make sure you set the heat settings to high so it doesn’t overheat and stop recording in the middle of the podcast. I’m actually working on editing a video right now where I compare the ZVe10 to the a7Siii you might be interested in. I compare footage from both cameras and essentially show how you can get the same picture from both. Looking to post it somewhere around 1/12/24 so stay tuned to the channel 😉 I’m short though, yeah you can definitely match the zve10 to the fx30. Just use the picture profile settings I outlined in this video for the e10 with a good lens and you’ll be all set 💪

@@VisionaryFilmStudios awesome! Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely be on the lookout for your video. You've just gained a new subscriber!

When you look at a shot from the zve10 when you get it out of the box, there tends to be a bit of a tint to the color, and the image is a little too sharp. So these settings correct for that and make sure your footage looks as good as possible!

These color settings will help make it so you have to make less corrections to color in editing. Usually all I have to do is correct the exposure a bit if I shot to dark, increase the contrast a bit, and/or warm up the color temp slightly. You may end up needing to tint the footage slightly towards magenta while editing as the camera does tend to run towards a green tint, but this won’t always be the case so you’ll just have to take it on a case my case basis.

Hey great question! Chances are, you’re iso is set too high on the camera. If you’re shooting in an automatic exposure mode, the camera will likely be doing that in darker environments (like indoors) when the f stop is higher (which the f stop will go up when you zoom in using the kit lens that comes with the camera. I made a video that goes into detail on this, here’s a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIvH17QU4iA.htmlfeature=shared The quickest fix for you is probably either to add some more light to your environment so you can lower your iso, or shoot wide where you can have a lower aperture and by extension a lower iso level. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!!

Thanks for the info, but a quick question again. What should be ideal ISO? I know there might not be a perfect number but still, till what point we can get close to perfect shots?

@@amanpokhriyal7636 as low as possible is always best, but if you can keep it at 2000 or below you shouldn’t see too much of a dip in quality. Up until 5000 the loss of quality is minimal in my opinion, but once you raise higher than that you’re definitely going to start seeing some harsh drop in quality.

Thank you for providing the information. It is really helpful. Thank you so much! Keep creating quality content!

I watched this video in the dark

There is some text on the back of the camera right above the dial wheel that says DISP. If you hit up on the dial wheel, it will give you a new HUD with some different display features. If you keep hitting it, you will cycle through all the options. If that doesn't give you what you're wanting, please let me know! Happy to help. I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to by the inclination line so I might need a little more clarification on what you're looking for. Cheers!

you're the best. thanks a lot. it worked. i asked many others about it but you are the only one who knew it. thanks again@@VisionaryFilmStudios

@@nasserelrmah311 happy to be of service! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

sure thx

Not going to lie- you might have a better eye for color than me XD My goal was to match the s Cinetone profile of Sonys higher end cameras. I shoot a lot on the a7Siii and a7iv and pretty exclusively use the s Cinetone profile, so I just wanted my e10 to match fairly easily. As far as white balance, I definitely recommend always using manual white as I feel like at least on this camera a human will always do better than the ai. Not sure how big of a difference that would make on your eye color though.

I did like the look. Thanks so much for your help. I'm quite new to mirrorless.@@VisionaryFilmStudios

Happy 2024! So with 4k 30 you can slow it down to 80% speed, which definitely will give it a little bit of a dreamy look but won't look like you normally think of slow motion. To do real slow motion you'll have to do either 1080p 60fps (which you can slow to 40%) or 120fps (20%). Don't stress too much about the lower resolution though, in my experience the quality still looks awesome!

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Thank you so much! What do you think is best for a cinematic feel?

@@KikaruSatomi great question! Sort of depends on what you’re shooting. If you’re shooting a narrative film / short film, usually a normal 24fps is best. Then just use slow motion if you want to slow a moment down or emphasize something. If you’re shooting a bunch of b roll to turn into a hype video or something like that, I’d pretty much always shoot in slow motion so that you can choose when you’re editing what clips you want to be in slow motion and what you want in real time speed. As far as 60fps vs 120fps, it really just depends on the speed of what you’re shooting and how much you want to slow it down. I’ve found 60fps is perfect for most things and 120fps is great for special instances when you really want to drag something out or if you’re shooting something that happens really fast (like someone running for example. I actually made a video last year (2022) about shooting in slow motion! Not quite as high quality as what I’ve been putting out recently but still good info ☺️ here is a link if you wanna check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gCDKn1PuInw.htmlfeature=shared

@@VisionaryFilmStudios Thank you! Im going to check it out! also if im shooting an action scene and want some slow motion parts in it.

Never personally used it, but I know Descript has that feature and it's what we use to do our subtitling for ads and that sort of thing. Pretty much all the audio we shoot is pretty controlled though, so never had a reason to test the feature. But pretty cool in concept!

Are you referring to the camera settings at 3:20? If so, yes absolutely! I had the kit lens on the camera when I was doing the recording. What are you seeing if you aren't seeing what I show in the video?

Both are great cameras! You'd save a little bit of money with the r100 (I wouldn't worry about getting the 55-210 for workout and vlog videos personally), and with the zve10 you get better auto focus in 4k mode and the ability to use it as a web cam if you want. Personally I'd go with the ZVe10, but either camera will give you some incredible footage (both photo and video). My recommendation? Make a decision quick and just start creating!

​@@VisionaryFilmStudioswow man a powerful answer of you. Especially the last part, i love the positivity. "make a decision and start creating". Much love to you man. I'm gonna go with the ZVE10. Thanks a lot

@@yusufi2735 love to you Yusuf! Stay tuned to the channel, we’ve got some BIG ZVe10 content we’re wrapping up right now that we’re trying to get out ASAP! ;D

@@yusufi2735 hey man! Hope the camera is treating you well! We just released a short film we shot on the ZVe10, thought you might like to see our bts feature on how we did it! Here’s a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-argMyPU-ulg.htmlfeature=shared

MASSIVE oversight on my part not including more actual footage from the ZVe10 in this video! I'm working on a video now that's going to be sort of like a part 2 to this where we actually show WAY more footage from the camera. So if you want to see that, subscribe and stay tuned to the channel over the next month or two.

True that! I do my best :D

It's my go too! Footage looks stellar! Keep an eye on the channel over the next day or two... I've got a short film coming out shortly that was all shot in a lower light situation with these settings and the footage looks INCREDIBLE.

Thanks for the answer. I will stay tune with the channel.

I have had some issues with overheating. After about 45 minutes of continuous recording in 4k it shut off on my in multiple instances due to overheating. I did have heat temperature settings set to standard though. If you set them to high, I’ve heard people able to record continuously upwards of 6 hours without having an issue.

This is what I use! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H9DVLBB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

The biggest thing the ZVe10 has going for it that you don’t get in the r50 is digital stabilization. In the review of the zve10 that I just uploaded to my channel yesterday I said I lean away from using the digital stabilization in the zve10 which is true, but it is a feature that has saved me on a few occasions and something I definitely still appreciate. With the r50, you can enable stabilization on your lens which is better than nothing, but pales in comparison to how good the stabilization is in the Sony. With that said, these are very similar cameras in many ways. Ultimately, you have to remember than your camera isn’t what makes an incredible film. You do, regardless of what camera or equipment your using. My pick between the 2 would still be the zve10, but not so much because the zve10 is an objectively better camera (again they’re very similar). Rather I’d go with the zve10 because I feel like Sony is way ahead when it comes to the specs in they’re higher end cameras. Sony has been ahead in their specs since the a7iii dropped in 2017, but when the r5 and a7Siii were released in 2020 it really sealed the deal for me that Sony’s options were just ahead. Even the zve10 was released a full 18 months before canon’s compatible offer (the r50). When the zve10 came out, canon’s closest offering was the m50 and m50ii, neither of which were viable in 4k resolution especially when compared to the zve10. So overall I feel like the investment into Sony gear (and especially their lenses) is going to be a better one for the future. But with that said, both companies make great cameras and you’ll be able to make incredible films no matter which direction you decided to go. Again, your camera isn’t what makes an incredible film. You do!
