BTW I was at the big electronic shop today and spotted the Sony RX10IV... very nice handling camera. So I called the staff over and asked if I could see the English menu... after much fiddling around they "had to check with other staff".
It turns out that English menus are not supported here. Another case where Sony only supports Japanese language menus in the local market... so it's special order or buy from the gray market (re-import) and of course no support when something goes wrong.

that if the product has English (or other language) menus, then the support organization in Japan must service that product... which means multi-lingual staff. Much less expensive to support one language only. In the past when I checked on English user ma...
