As a Sony Artisan that extensively photographs landscape, travel, and wildlife photography, there are certain features and functionality that I want near-instant access to on my own Sony a1 that I didn’t feel I had when I first took the camera out of the box. While I have written a complete setup guide to the a1 for those that are brand new to this camera, I decided to separate out all of the unique customized buttons and menus I did to my A1 here on this blog post so that I had more room to explain and walk you through my choices. One of the best things about owning a Sony mirrorless camera is that virtually every button, feature even the menu system can be customized and tailored to your shooting style, and this includes the newly released Sony a1 flagship mirrorless camera.
