Features include:

  • Live view feed for composition and focus
  • Full manual controls for exposure settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance
  • Remote shutter release for still images and video recording
  • Intervalometer for timelapse photography
  • Bulb mode for long exposures
  • HDR bracketing

  • HDR video recording
  • Focus controls like focus peaking and magnification
