CAUTION: The ZV-E1 is a small full frame camera with little thermal management. Therefore, overheating during movie recording should be expected in most environments, especially while recording higher quality formats like 4K or S&Q. If you need assurance that the camera will not overheat during longer recording times, we highly recommend choosing another camera.
Notes
[Auto Power OFF Temp.] must be set to [High] to achieve continuous recording in most formats.
The Sony ZV-E1 records video in a variable bitrate, which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. Therefore, recording times will vary depending on the content you are shooting and the shooting conditions.
