Looking at the specs, and reading ‘24mm lens’, I said to myself, how odd that they put a short tele instead of a moderate wideangle. Of course, it isn’t a real 24mm. but around 8mm, which gives aprox the same FOV of a 24mm. on FF. The person who invented the absurd and misleading term ‘focal equivalent’ should have been hanged high on the spot. If a lens is 8mm., it’s 8mm. Period.
Same thing for the 1” sensor. Why they call them 1” if the diagonal of the sensor is 15.9mm. i.e. 0.628” ?. It isn’t Sony only but every manufacturer doing this sort of baloney these days. This is no longer marketing hype or misleading advertising but plain lies. You have to read carefully the almost hidden small text to get to know the real specs.

It does not bother me that they call it 24mm in "full frame" terms. What is bothersome is that they call it 24mm f/4 when in fact should be 24 f/11 equivalent. (2.7x factor)
So, it should be 8m f/4 OR 24mm f/11. I guess the marketing team didn't like the idea of selling a 24mm f/11 lens.
