Shoot In Manual Mode With ZV-1 @liao_edward
My hand never felt stiff after a day of shooting and it reduced the weight of my luggage. With the ZV-1 camera, I can now capture stunning moments while still enjoying my trip.

A Little Bit About Wei Tse
How To Use the Manual Mode
With plenty of functions available on the ZV-1 camera, I highly recommend using the manual mode. For me, I like to shoot in S-Log3 as it maximises the performance of the image sensor.
As for shutter speed, I like to set it to 1/(2*fps). For example, if it is a 24fps video, I’ll set the shutter speed to 1/48, which is 1/ (2*24). This will help create motion blur in the clips, making them look natural and smooth.
Lastly, let’s not forget about the built-in ND filter. While most cameras need an external ND filter to block light from coming into the lens, the ZV-1 camera has one built into it. All you have to do is turn it on.
Super-lightweight Camera
On top of the luggage, travelling with a huge camera is a challenge for me. That’s why I was impressed when I first had my hands on a ZV-1 camera. Despite its compact size, it still provided strong performance.
