is one of those cameras that you're mainly going to use with the physical buttons the menus on this camera aren't too great but i'm going to talk more about that later the only thing that i would change on this camera physically is the very small record button but i mainly find myself in video mode and i usually use the shutter button for that function and two things that i absolutely love about this camera when it comes to design is one you pull this lever and the flash comes up i love just very satisfying second this dial right here on the left when you turn it it actually changes your film emulations so you can simply frame up a shot change your emulation and just see what looks good side note it actually has a headphone jack for external audio which is great but it also has a usb type-c adapter that goes into the side port that will allow you to plug in a set of headphones so you can actually record external audio with this and also listen to it where most cameras at this price point and in this form factor only give you an external jack for external audio do not give you a headphone jack so this is a big plus but let's talk about two things design wise that i absolutely hate on this camera number one the menus are hot garbage sony cameras are known for having cumbersome menus where it's just pages and pages and pages but personally these menus are not user friendly they're not intuitive and they're just kind of a pain but after a couple of days of shooting i was able to figure out these menus but that did not make them fun to use and the second downside that i noticed with this camera is that you could not customize any of these buttons to change your iso if i ever wanted to change iso i had to go into the menus change it there and then go back to shooting personally i just found myself keeping it either at NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKEN depending on the time of day but that is definitely a pain i wish they had an option of maybe even turning this emulation button to the iso that would have been great last but not least the battery in this camera i find is just decent i found myself shooting with it for about a day to a day and a half without needing to recharge but it's definitely a battery you're going to need spares of if you plan on shooting all day on a trip or something this camera has great colors but that doesn't mean you're going to get great results if you don't know how to use your camera maybe this is your first camera or you're simply looking to take your photos and videos to the next level in that case make sure to check out the camera boost course in the link down below in this course i'm going to show you how to take your beginner or budget level camera and make it perform like a NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN professional camera i'm going to show you every tiny detail that you need to know to master your camera on a technical level and then i'm going to show you all of my creative secrets to take your work from looking just okay to becoming instagram bangers i'm going to help you take your photos and videos to the next level without having to waste thousands of dollars on expensive camera gear because here's what no one tells you you don't need expensive camera gear which you need are skills and knowledge so if you're
