Zoom H1 essential constant noise

Hey! First post here and I’ve got a burning question, that’s been bothering me for a while.
I’ve got gifted this Zoom H1 essential and I’ve done some recordings on its own, which sound amazing. Now, i want to directly record sounds for videos with my camera. I hooked the zoom to my Sony a7c and started some test recordings. Turns out every recording is noisy as hell! I’ve tried fiddling with the zoom settings but I’m not getting anywhere.
Could it be, that the noise comes from the cable, connecting the mic with the cam? Or am I missing some magical setting?

Also, I’m a total noob when it comes to microphones 😭

Glad to hear your helping answers!
