I was recently convinced to buy the Sony SEL35F18F lens rather than the SEL35F18 because my priority is to record in low light mainly theatrical recordings and have a fixed aperture lens to manually control the aperture and not have a variable aperture lens which does the opposite when zooming.
Testing this lens with my Sony ZV-E10 on a tripod has made a big difference and many of the autofocus and low light issues I had with the ZV-E10 and the kit lens have been largely minimized.
However, I am struggling with video recording results outside a tripod and by just using my hands. In the camera Settings SteadyShot is Active and set to Auto. However, this lens has no Optical SteadyShot and I can't get good results without a tripod. Using stabilization software just crops the video recording and does not even solve the problem. I don't generally take many photographs but of course the camera should be stable. Would a gimbal solve this problem? Any further ideas?
