Create content at the pool, in the surf, or under the waves with the Ikelite Underwater Housing for the Sony VZ-1 camera. Large, ergonomic mechanical controls provide access to almost all camera functions, so you have full control over the images you capture. Built for durability, the housing is designed, constructed, and tested in the USA. It's manufactured from a light gray ABS/polycarbonate blend, which reflects sunlight to keep your camera cooler when shooting at or above the water's surface. The back plate is clear to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain a full view of the camera. The 3" lens port has a 67mm thread you can use to attach user-supplied wide-angle and macro add-on lenses for an enhanced view. Optional color-correction filters can also be added to restore colors that get absorbed by the water.

Q: 1. What solutions would one use for a flash?

A: You could use any external flash that has an Multi-Interface Shoe, a good example of one that works would be the Godox TT350S Mini Thinklite TTL Flash for Sony Cameras (https://bhpho.to/2s7LJXi) Here is a listing of compatible flashes. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/accessories/Flashes--Accessories-for-the-Sony-ZV-1/1565880-REG-48200?from=detail)

Q: 2. Will the USB power the cameral while your connected to a capture card like the El Gato cam link? USB connection limits you to a disappointing HD 720 1280 720 30. It's 2021! If I connect via capture card to my laptop will USB provide enough power to keep the battery from draining? I want to pass 1920 x 1080P 30 fps and 4k 30 fps if that is possible. I have a good audio chain an XLR mic running through a usb interface, so I prefer to record on my computer. To match audio quality and monitor audio with headphones I'd have to use an external recorder. Or get a Rode Video Mic or Sony Video mic for the 3.5mm. And it still wouldn't sound as good as a professional XLR mic running through a usb interface with high quality pre amps.

A: You can connect the camera to the El Gato via HDMI and connect the camera to the outlet adapter with USB and the USB will power the camera.

Q: 3. Are there any limitations to the autofocus system in 4K/30fps and 1080p/120fps (eye/face detect etc.) compared to 1080p/30fps?

A: No

Q: 4. 4k 60fps recording or only 30fps?

A: The ZV-1 can record 4K video at 23.976p/25p/29.97p.

Q: 5. Does it has real-time eye tracking like the A6600 for video?

A: Yes, it does.

Q: 6. Ok, so I own this camera, and just did my first Zoom meeting with it. Plugged in with it's USB cable to my iMac (installed the Sony Imaging Edge software, etc.) it works great and I get lots of compliments. HOWEVER, the battery drains very quickly. I got less than an hour out of it (I set the power off temp to "High", etc.). So, I don't see how I could use this camera continously for Zoom meetings with that kind of battery drain. Should I hook it up to a high-amp USB charger, and then use the HDMI out and go into my iMac that way (with something like a BluTec HDMI adapter on the iMac)?

A: You can operate this camera by USB power when there is a battery in the camera.

Q: 7. Can you record internally and also use as a webcam at the same time?

A: No, you would not be able to record and use as a webcam at the same time with this Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera (Black).

Q: 8. I'm planning to use this exclusively for Zoom calls. I just need to confirm that I can plug it in via USB (to either my iMac Pro or a USB wall charger), and that the camera will indeed remain powered and not shut off?

A: If you're connecting via USB, once setup with the proper software (Sony Imaging Edge Webcam) and the ZV-1 set to the proper settings (PC Remote), it should work as you need - but please note there are some limitations with that software and some versions of MacOS. So please confirm at (https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/webcam/en/) for more details and instructions.

Q: 9. What are the requirements for the 3.5mm mic input jack for microphones that draw power from the jack, TRS or TRRS? What is the voltage the built-in mic input provides?

A: The Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera With Vlogger Accessory Kit uses a TRS jack and it does not provide power. The mic needs to use a battery in the mic.

Q: 10. If I want to use this camera as a webcam via HDMI (I have video capture device), can I power it via USB-C or power adapter and do not use battery at all? I might be using the camera on Zoom calls for many hours and would rather not worry about the battery.

A: According to Sony, you can connect the ZV-1 with the included Micro USB cable to a USB wall adapter while the battery is inserted into the camera. One such adapter is the Xuma 2.4A USB Charger with Folding Prongs, BH # https://bhpho.to/3kCJpjO
