Product placement
Sony Alpha 1 II + 300mm F2.8 GM OSS (camera and lens): ACTS - used to take a wildlife photograph, and the caption explains its function for wildlife photography. Removing it would change the context of the shot. Sony Alpha (brand): APPEARS - mentioned in the caption and as the creator's handle and name, but the video is not about promoting the brand itself, only a specific camera and lens. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
