Xperia 1 - Few Problems

Hey Guys. Got my Xperia one on first day of sales to make a YouTube Review. And I have couple of concerns and question, and I hope those will be fixed by the time i finish my review.

1. There was pretty bad overheating with the camera. Phone was laggin badly and camera app was crashing. 

2. 4K stabilization is Good when it comes to vertical axes, but horizontal... Any way to fix it with update?

3. How to get photos RAW files? Any idea? 

4. How to use the phone as an external monitor for my A7R III with the cable? I heard that there is an official way to use it. There was even a special cage for a phone to go on top of the camera. 

5. Cinema Pro App... I really hoped it will be a game changer, but all the shots from it are HORRIBLE, comparing to normal camera app. They are very noisy, very uncharp and autofocus works horrible there! The ISO was set to minimum on sunny day for sure.

6. 52mm camera for some reason sometimes makes photos very unsharp and over noise reduced, especially when you take portaits, it kind of makes horrible skin retocuhing.

7. Why there are no Manual settings for 52 and 16mm cameras?! Same thing as with monochrome camera in xz2 premium.

I'm starting to get dissapointed, because the pefect phone i was waiting for, looks like itsa far from it...

1) Not had this, sorry. Mine hasn't overheated at all.

2) while it doesn't make it perfect, for some reason switching to the 265 encoding for 4k seems to improve the horizontal axis stabilisation. I have no idea why.

3) I believe there are other camera apps that allow you access. I don't use RAW so haven't looked.

4) dunno.

6) Possibly because it's using a Samsung sensor.

7) there are for the telephoto but not the wide angle. You need to open Manual and zoom using the volume key until it's over 2x. I've checked, the camera switches to the telephoto lens automatically without dropping the settings. For some reason, Sony didn't add the zoom toggle but the telephoto lens can be used with all settings in manual. Wide angle no.

Hope this helps.
