There's a free app to control the whole of the camera's settings (and I use it on set, so I can certify it just functions), with no options you'd have to pay for... still you find a way to rant and moan ?

Just wait for years !

[@troywalt4834]

@@gillesmatheronpro sony is a smartphone manufacturer, they had a lot of opportunity to make a camera more like a smartphone in terms of connectivity, menus etc and they didn't do much for years, also something like monitor + which is similar in some ways to this app has existed for years, so they have no excuses for taking so much time, but i can agree with you that other camera manufacturer like Nikon or Canon are much worse than Sony to offer these options to their userbase.

no. And this problem was annoying me for quite a while now. Modern phones & tablets has usb-c connectivity, and it is possible to pass video signal by utilizing DisplayPort AltMode. Why Sony didn't bother implementing this thing in their own phones (instead of adding HDMI input to Sony Xperia phone), stays secret to me.
