Sony tech - Useful features of the FX30 & ZV-1F
The Sony Cinema line ILME-FX30, as it is called in full, is a Super35 (= APS-C) cine camera that can be easily mistaken for it's full frame brethren, the FX3.
This video has 3 MAIN topics:
1. Focus breathing compensation for video focus transitions without any change to the viewing angle.
2. Auto focus assist allows you to manually override continuous autofocus and let the camera do the final finetuning. Sounds complex? Actually it's super useful.
3. How to activate S-log mode? Yes, there's a difference between FX-cinema line cameras & Alpha mirrorless cameras.
4. BONUS: Quick tips on the extra record button, the cooling, the tally lights, Focus mapping, Clear Image Zoom, Photo capture, streaming, the stills function,..

The ZV-1F is the smallest of the Sony vlogging camera family. It's very
much like an updated ZV-1, but with a fixed 20mm f2 lens, less options but with some new
features that every Sony camera should receive.
