Just unpacked New camera with no manual for general settings just to get started. Does anyone know of a short guide, with some of the main setups. I never had any problem with my A7R at all.
1. The 70-200 F4 Macro has something inside that slides Rt when lens is tipped to the Rt then slides left when tipped to the left. I was told this is the image stabilization, over the phone, but is it supposed to hit each end when it slides?.
2. RAW or JPEG don't seem to be in the menu under shooting. A guy Jared Polis has a YouTube showing how to set this, but his menu on the left is the same as mine, but not on the right side, which is where mine does not show RAW or JPG.
3. Is movie mode a toggle of that little button on top, so if it's on and affecting the menu, it just needs to be pressed? and is there a way to turn movie mode completely off as well as any opportunities to attach to a cellphone?
4. That thing in the middle of the top of camera does not look like a hot shoe at all and I could not put a flash on it. Is there a way or is it for something else?
