Yes, the DSC-RX100 VII is excellent for vlogging due to its compact size, good autofocus, and ability to shoot high-quality UHD 4K video. It also features a microphone input for better audio quality.

There is a dedicated movie shooting button. You can also set the mode dial to video mode to prepare for recording.

The lens offers a versatile 8.3x optical zoom, equivalent to 24mm to 200mm in 35mm format.

A spare battery, a fast SD card (UHS-I U3 or faster), and a protective case are highly recommended.

High-speed continuous shooting consumes more power, so it's advisable to have a fully charged battery or spare batteries when planning extensive bursts.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly. Try using a different charged battery or check the power adapter connection if charging via USB.

Confirm the lens is clean. Ensure the correct focus mode is selected (e.g., AF-C for moving subjects). Check if the focus area is appropriate for your subject.

Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on both the camera and your smartphone. Restart both devices and try the connection process again. Check for app updates.

Lower the recording resolution or frame rate. Allow the camera to cool down between extended recording sessions. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Ensure the SD card is formatted correctly (use the camera's format function). Try a different compatible SD card to rule out card issues.
