Stop losing takes to guesswork. If you've just unboxed a Sony ZV-E1 (or you've owned one for a while but still wrestle with menus), this concise, fully illustrated guide gets you recording confidently-fast. Don't show up to your next shoot hoping the camera "just works." Show up certain.

Designed for creators, not engineers, this book walks you through real setups that actually ship videos: dialing exposure without math headaches, locking rock-solid Eye AF, choosing stabilization that fits the shot, and capturing clean, presentable audio-every time. You'll build a frictionless workflow with custom buttons, a smart Fn menu, and named presets you can save, back up, and reload in seconds.

Learn the exact, repeatable recipes for vlogging, sit-down A-roll, product demos, slow-motion b-roll, and low-light clips. You'll get plain-English explanations of Creative Looks, S-Cinetone, and S-Log3 (only when you're ready), plus a friendly 30-day action plan so progress compounds day by day. Templates, checklists, and a maintenance tracker keep your kit-and your footage-reliable under pressure.

Master your ZV-E1 today-before the next deadline or travel day sneaks up. Open the first chapter with your camera on, follow the micro-tests, and watch your results jump in a single afternoon. Don't leave powerful features idle while others pass you by.
