A:AnswerHi KAC, as of this right now, the RAW image transfer to phone via App is not supported yet. The best way to transfer RAW image to the phone is to use an SD Card Reader to lightning/micro-usb/usb-c depending on your phone connection.
A:AnswerYou should invest in lens. The kit lens has nice bokeh zoomed in but to get the most out of this sensor On the camera id recommend trying out the sigma 30mm f 1.4 or the sigma f 1.4. For blogging looking into the 16 and the 30 is good for portraits check out some reviews on YouTube to see what th best lens are for what your needs are.

A:AnswerIt has a built in audio but to get the best you’ll have you use an external recorder then later sync it yourself. If you want a Sony camera that one look into the Sony A6400
A:AnswerThe furthest you can zoom is at 50mm with the kit lens but you can find other sony e mount aps-c lens that will give you better zoom range via the link down below
