    Overheats & Shuts off in 5 min. when 4k recording

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I loved this camera when I bought it. I have had it since September 2020. This camera quality is okay. However, the batteries die very quickly and the camera over heats after 5 minutes of 4k recording. For the amount of money this thing costs, it should last longer. You can't do too much with it since it dies so quickly. I use about 3 batteries every time I record for my YouTube channel. It's annoying.

      Hi KB92,
       
      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
       
      Thank you for your feedback on the ZV1 camera. We are glad to hear that you loved the camera and quality met your expectation. We understand that the battery capacity is small and doesn't last that long, especially when you record videos. However, there are different options to expand the battery capacity allowing you to record longer. One of them is using external power supply. For the camera overheating after 5 minutes of recording, you can set the Auto Power Off Temp. setting to High. Go to MENU → (Setup) → [Auto Power OFF Temp.] →High.
       
      For further questions or concerns, you can reach us at 239-245-6360.

    It's a cute little vloggers camera!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So far so good! I'm new to learning cameras so this little guy is great the quality is excellent. I like it a lot. I'm still learning so it does have a ton of features I haven't gotten to yet but I just recently found out I can use my camera as a webcam too if I put it in movie mode I thought that was really cool. I would recommend this to others as a basics beginners camera. If you have the money to spare and want to do a lot with a camera I don't recommend this one go for one of the higher professional DSLR type cameras. If you are just doing things here and there this is great for starting out and carrying on the go since its small.

    Its a beautiful camera, takes amazing quality pics and vids but you cannot stream with it because it overheats which i didnt know this until i tried streaming with it myself and you cant just plug it into your pc and download your video's or pictures you have to buy a whole other object to connect to your pc to then download :( The Camera is good if you're only vloggin and have the money to buy the extra piece that it needs to download your vids.

    Loved this compact little camera. I wanted something as an everyday carry as I didn’t want to lug around my Full-frame and lenses. I was impressed with the sensor quality and compact size. Perfect for the everyday carry of you want a camera other than your phone.

    Excellent video and sound quality! Def recommend tripod because there’s hardly any stabilization so it can look wobbly if hand held. Generally easy to use once you play around with it
