This is not a review. This is not a paid promotion. This is just me on my first test use of my new Sony ZV-1F Digital Camera, with ECM-G1 gun mic.
I film indoors for my channel, and this test is specifically against my intended use as a hobbyist Retro computer YouTuber, replacing my use of my midrange Nokia 5.4 phone, which only shoots in 1080p.
My intention is to sometimes post in 4K, but as with this video, to film in 4K but post in 1080p. This gives me the option to zoom in post production without loosing quality.
In this test, I use the gun mic mounted to the camera, but also via a stereo cable via the 3.5mm jacks, as I intend to use this feature when interviewing people at events.
Thanks for watching.
