The product manual: every button and dial on three views of a camera, each in a callout.
The same content as the picture, as text: every part and what it says when you open it.
An electronic viewfinder: a small high-resolution screen behind a lens, showing exactly the exposure you will get. A sensor beside it switches from the rear screen as your eye arrives.

A one-screen overview of the settings you change most, each a touch away.

A standard zoom seen from above, with its zoom ring and focus ring. The mount takes many lenses, so this is one of several.
Chooses who decides the exposure: the camera (auto), you (manual), or a share of each - aperture or shutter priority.

Deep enough for the whole hand, and it holds the battery, which is why the battery door is on the bottom of the grip.
Lights the subject briefly in the dark so the camera can focus, and blinks as the self-timer counts down.
Also: The self-timer light
A metal bayonet the lens twists into. A short distance from mount to sensor is what lets mirrorless lenses be small.
Gold pins that let the body and the lens talk: focus, aperture, stabilisation, and which lens it is.
Carry: Focus, aperture, stabilisation
