Sony ZV-E10 - If you don't know whether you should be shooting in HAVC-S or HAVC-HS on your Sony Alpha or ZV-E10 Mirrorless camera, I have attempted to clear that up in this video.

HAVCS is the H.264 Codec. It's pretty old now, but very compatible with most computers. HAVCHS is the newer H.265 Codec. Totally compatible with newer M1, M2 or M3 Mac Computers, but may very well give any other computer a tough time during video editing, unless you're using proxy files.

ALSO, in the recording settings, for YouTube videos, you will see VERY LITTLE difference in the final product quality when choosing between 30M 50M (60M on ZV-E10) and 100M as far as the bitrate to shoot in. But the difference in card space is MASSIVE, so you should be shooting int he lowest one, if the videos you're making are only going to be put up on YouTube. Because YouTube will be compressing your videos down to that lowest bitrate before showing it to people anyway, so shooting in lossless video formats will not serve to create a higher resolution final product.
