Imaging Edge Mobile Update 7.2.2 Update now available for iPhone!! Adds iOS 13 support!! apps.apple.com/us/app/imaging-edge-mobile/id489191124
Jay SonyAlphaLab hi Jay I have an a6300 and when I use the remote settings on my iPhone 11 pro max to record videos it does look like it effects the quality of the video do you experience the Same problem
The app doesn't work
Jay SonyAlphaLab how do you send a video not a photo and also the QRi code doesn’t come up
I have a a6000 and iPhone 11 Pro Max and still doesn’t work
Jay SonyAlphaLab Jay is there a problem with the imaging app and the iPhone. I have called Song about 4 times and the last time I called the guy shot me a bunch of bull and lied to me. I cannot get my photos transferred. I have gotten some help from Sony and were able to transfer the photos but it goes right back to not connecting.
I been using the app bc I like using my phone as a monitor but not like this!! This is a whole new lvl, I learned a lot today. Thx for the new tips! And keep the videos coming 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great tutorial. I watched a video by another person and I had no idea what I was doing as I could not follow his instructions at all! Thank you
I'm so annoyed by the switch from PlayMobile to Imaging Edge.The former worked perfectly all the time, but the new one is a pain!
I cant get it to connect and have watched many of these videos. I'm just not getting the same screens !
Yes, I hear your frustration and really wish Sony would figure this out. I must say, with my Galaxy 8 I have not had any issues for what I use the feature for however, but I feel I am one of the lucky ones ;) All I do is when in playback mode on the camera I find a photo I want then press the share button. I then open the Imaging Edge app and select the scan QR Code option and my phone camera turns on. I then scan the camera which is now displaying the code and it copies the photo over. I was just doing this with the new A600 last night. Once I scanned the QR code once the Sony A6600 is now in the app as a liked camera. So now when I hit the share button on the camera I just need to select the a6600 on the imaging edge app. I did not mess with any settings on the camera either, this is out of the box. I totally understand this is not how it works for everybody though, which sucks! The older cameras clearly do not work like this...
What camera are you using?
The former was horrible, hence the new app.
Maya Flanary Yes, the system is hard to get used to. I have a cheap Android Tracfone and since I had trouble with scanning the QR code on my FDR-X3000 (it is inside the battery door) I instead, manually entered the SSID number on the app screen. This allowed me to connect to the action cam. Then, I was able to use the Tracfone as the controller of the camera. It showed me what the camera was seeing and to control the zoom, etc. The initial set up did take some time to make happen. I had to wait awhile for things to happen, that’s for sure. It seemed that just as I was about to give up, then the screen would change and my faith in the world was renewed. 😁
Try Camoodoo ... it works good.
You have to put GPS and CAMERA wifi ON then either scan code or enter password direct.
Did the trick for me and very informative video mate much appreciated 👍
had my little sony forever, didnt know I could do all this, Many Thanks
jay love the channel.... Is there a way to auto focus using the app on the iPhone ? my a7iii has a greyed out area on the focus mode unlike your camera above in tutorial.. thanks!
Good tutorial Jay , i would agree with you mate , these wireless camera apps are still not as intuitive as they could be , especially for those of us in community that are not all that tech savvy .
i remember using the one for my Nikon camera a few years ago , and while i got it to do the job , it was a fair effort to work it all out and again not overly UI friendly , and i never used it again .
Thinking about how maybe manufacturers could improve on this system , just throwing an idea outside of the box ,
Wouldnt it be good if the day you get your new proper camera , and during setting it up and entering your usual details in and normal camera settings , you also entered the details for your phone including some sort of ID number assigned to the wireless frequency or bluetooth or something ,
then once all set up , in the future when you hit the transfer button next to the camera screen a box popped up with the menu with "what items do you wish to transfer to device ID No. XXXXx " ,
You click on the selection , click on enter and in three clicks the camera connects to your phone and downloads the pics , bang done .
That is how i imagine it would work anyway .
Unfortunately for those of us that are not tech savvy , or just dont have great recall because we are old farts (thats me ) or are just a bit thick(also me :) ) , some of these apps are still a bit like hard work , and that becomes moreso if you only get to go out snapping pics on odd occasions .
I suppose really for it to become idiot proof and just plain easy to operate , both the camera companies and the phone makers would have to come together and put a concerted effort into making a better system.
I often think about the user friendliness of devices when i`m buying phones and cameras , which does seem weird given i bought an A73 menu system and all :) , but it would pay divid ends for these companys to go the extra mile and make them more user friendly in all ways including connectivity , because more people will buy their products ..
Man you have a wonderful channel, your personality pretty dope too man thanks 🤙🏾
Absolutely crystal clear instructions and adice! Thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you very much for the kind words Patrick :)
I was struggling big time tonight connecting my Sony Camera to my IPhone, but you my friend have saved me, Thank you! now wheres that subscribe button.
Great tutorial/review, I got a ton out of it. Thanks!
Thank you Jamie for the comments and I'm really glad you got something out of the video ;) The app is a bit confusing for sure when you first try and use it.
Worked like a charm for me.
I have to say that your videos are definitely THE BEST !
Thank you so much 🙏.
Using my new rx10m4 would never be as easy without your videos.
As for the imaging edge app: I am doing a lot of HFR slow motion videos and I do sense a delay between the moment I press the button on my phone and the actual moment the camera reacts.
At HFR mode, limited to 4 seconds of recording, it is sometimes crucial.
I think I'll have to switch to remote that connect with a cable 🤔
Has anyone noticed that delay?
I never actually tried it in HFR mode, but yeah I can see there being a slight delay unfortunately... Thanks for the kind words!
So useful to me, thanks Jason 😁❤️
Thanks Jay for this video and the follow-up that you did this past January. I've been using the app to transfer JPEG images (original file size/quality) from my RX10M4 to my iPhone. One comment/correction I'd like to mention that might help others is that at 7:37 into this vides you talk about the Send to Smartphone Func - Sending Target option and you mention that that is where you change the size/quality of the JPEG file to be transferred. Default being 2M the default with options for "Original" or "VGA". What I'd like to mention is that the place where this is done is in the app itself and not via the Sending Target menu on the camera. In the Imaging Edge Mobile app, the "Settings" option is in the upper right of the screen (on the iPhone it is labeled "Settings", it looks like on your Galaxy it is the three vertical dots in the upper right). Anyhow, in Setttings the first option is "Copy Image Size". Click on that item and that is where the size of the transferred image is selected.
I'm writing this in hopes that it will help others, as it took me a bit of Googling to find how to do this. Seems a lot of the help info on the Sony site regarding the Imaging Edge Mobile app still refers to the PlayMemories App, which just confuses things.
David
Thank you so much
Good review of the app. There are some functions in the app I never used but I will now. Have you tried to connect to separate sony cameras with the app? Not at the same time but using one app for 2 different cameras?
Thank you and yes I had the Sony A6400 and the Sony RX100 VII and used the app for both. I just needed to rescan the QR code each time and it just worked for me on my Samsung S8 phone. I could not have both cameras hooked up at the same time though.
Hi there, thanks for this video. Do you know why this app doesn't connect with an iPhone 11/Sony A7RIV?
Hi, Jay. Could you please help me out? I've been trying all sorts of thing with my configurations on my Samsung Note 8, and my Sony a6000, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find the "control with smartphone" feature on my Sony camera...
Great video. Helped me understand how to transfer pics to my Sony HX99.
Thank you very much and I'm really glad it helped you out ;) If you are interested I have more tutorial videos specifically on the HX99 as well here: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
thank you bro i was straggling for long time to connect my camera to smart phone use it as monitor
So helpful, thanks!
If there is already a smartphone paired to the camera, how do I add a new one of replacing the existing one? I have a SONY Cybershot G DSC-HX50V.
You’re awesome man, thank you!
Happy to help!
Thankyou for explaining the app - had no idea what I was doing. Can photos be sent from this camera to an ipad/laptop via bluetooth? I can only find wifi transfer instructions however I don’t always have cell phone service.
Thanks a lot. This video is really very helpful.
Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks a stack.
you're a legend, thanks it works
Great video!
I have a Sony a7ii. I'm having luck using iTouch as a remote, but I don't have access to the camera functions other than the shutter. I'd like to focus, change Aperture, etc., but I don't get them in the display. It's a great intervalometer, but I'm wondering if you know why I can't have access to the other functions. Is there a setting in menu? Is the fact that I use back button focus a possible reason? Appreciate the help! And, Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, this was the best possible way to do it! I recommend watching this!!!!
Edit: Thank you so much!!!! I’m so happy you saw this!
any suggestions for the case when the live view and remote control is lagging by about 3-5 seconds ? using zv e10 and iphone
"Forget Network" is a crazy thing to do, especially if you have a crazy 20 digit password (like me :)
Android 10 and 11 have the option to simply disconnect from the network (I have a Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 4a, so I get those OS updates ;), which is much preferred to "forgetting" your network
I wish you had used the manual mode, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. My camera doesn't arrive until tomorrow. I'm stoked
Great tutorial
Thank You
The rapid fire mode aka continuous shooting is completely missing as an option on iPhone Image Edge. Any reasons as to why this is? I'm using Sony a6000 btw
so Sony have changed nothing except the name of the app and the icon, well done as usual. Working hard for their customers
One great feature that is finally working better than on PlayMemories is the geolocation. I just activate once and I'm ready to go: no more off linkage like I had sith PlayMemories.
hi! and thank you for video..is it possible to disable auto copy photos to smartphone when use it like remote wth rx 100 vii
Do you have tutorials for Sony NEX-5T? Does Imaging Edge app work with NEX-5T?
hi thanks for the video! I have a a6000 and i was trying to use the remote control for the firs time - however I don't see all the modes options and under mode I only have "mode" but nothing else. I also cant see anything such as Video shutter speed, Aperture value, Exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity..by any chance you would know why?
Same here... did you find the solution for that?
Please help if you know why when I use Imaging Edge to transfer the photos to my iphone, the photos size seem compressed, I m sure the setting "Copy Image Size" as original. So do I use the "Remote control function" to take photos, the photos automatically compressed.
To transfer videos it works by recording videos using MP4 mode instead of AVHCD.
MP4 is compatible on smartphone
Great job, thanks very much for the detail information. Just got A7Riii, the settings at mobile are very limited, only see White Balance, Self-Timer, Shooting Settings. Do you know why?
Different cameras have different options available... Sony is strange in that way, I'm not sure why!!
I have an RX 100 III and an RX 10 IV the Imaging Edge Mobil App works perfekt for me and i don't have any problems with these app much better then the previous Play Memories Mobil App.
I have the same 2 cameras !! My raw files are being converted to jpeg with this app. Have you had this problem?
Thank you so much. I just bought a Sony DSC-HX80 And i don’t have a good laptop but have a iPad and iPhone so i really wanted to transfer it to my iPhone and edit on iMovie. Thank you so much. It is a lot of work but it’s worth it !!
Have fun!
Great video but how do you delete already imported files from the
imaging edge mobile app? The app says I dont have enough space to
complete transfers.
Hi Jay, could you please help me and tell me why on my iPhone 8 I can not control the camera remotely? thanks
Does the Sony a5100 with kit lens good for full body portrait photography?
Thank you for this!!!!
Hi, do you know how to turn off auto transfer for images in the Imaging app?
Thanks for the vid! but it doesn't show control smartphone? i have Ver. 3.20 maybe the camera need a new firmwire?
In sharing functionality, can you transfer raw pics to your phone?
This video is really informative thank you! Just a question, how far or how distant can you go with the phone from the camera to control it? I do landscapes and sometimes I want to be in the frame. This app would be a great solution if I can remote control my camera with my phone at a long distance.
Given ideal environmental conditions, the recommended maximum distance a camera can be connected to a mobile device is less than 5 meters or 16 feet. I'm not sure if that will be good enough for you, but that is what the specs say Leigh ;) Thanks for the comments!! Jay
Can you do this just using your phones internet or do you need internet service or a network like in your house or elsewhere?
Thanks so much for this!! Clear and simple. Actually I seem to be able to get this new app working flawlessly with my a A7RMk2 and my RX 100 Mk4.
Thanks for the comments and I also never really have a problem. It sucks that so many other people are having issues though...
Great! It worked 👏👏👏
You're GREAT! thanks
Thanks that was really helpful
Thank you Ally for the comments and I'm glad the video helped you out!!
The app used to work with my iPhone X and Sony aR 111. I’ve just bought an iPhone 14 pro and I can’t connect the phone to the camera via WiFi or Bluetooth. Have contacted Sony support and they went through all the settings, using QR code and still wouldn’t connect. Sony now saying they can’t guarantee the 2 will connect - does that mean iPhone 14 isn’t supported and it might be in time? Can’t get any further info.
I’ve noticed my aR 111 has Sony memories - does it need Image edge on the camera as well as the phone to work? Any advice appreciated!
Can you use this in bulb for long exposure like 45 seconds?
Do you think in video mode that I can send mic audio from the camera into my iPad Pro 2020 or run a generators Sync ?
I don't think so.
This is also how I do it but I haven't found a way to get the full res JPG over. My Nikon, no problem. Sony is giving me grief though. Other fix I can think of is (because you apparently via camera only can't flip a raw into a jpg) to get a card reader, out the raws on my android, then use another program to convert to jpg. Thoughts?
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing :-)
Thanks for watching and the kind comments Chris ;)
Thanks for the video!
Is tab to focus on the phone possible while recording a video?
As far as I know, no the touch does not work on the phone unfortunately in any mode. It really should though! Thanks for the comments and question ;)
Hello !
I would like to go to Sony but I Have one question :
With this Sony Imaging Edge Mobile or computer App, is the "Hi frame rate mode" make the continuous shooting ? I would like to know if it can shoot à 11FPS with the A6300.
And do you know if we can drive 3 same camera with the same settings at the same time ? Like all the same and shooting synchro ?
Thanks
Install the Imaging App on your phone then go to connect new phone. There's a link there for Detailed instructions. You should be able to connect multiple phones using a network connection.
EDIT: Sorry - Multiple camera connections apply ONLY to DSC-RX0 and DSC-RX0M2
I have given up with WLAN (using a A7iii) and Im.Edge Desktop. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The import via WLAN works after (measured) 45 seconds (maybe, maybe not).
With the app, when I adjust the zoom settings, will they stay put even when I exit/disconnect the camera from the smartphone? Thanks1
Any idea why my videos audio is not supported (nor will it playback) when using the app to send video files over to my s8+? A6400 being used. I can get the videos audio using VLC, but cannot figure out how to get them posted to IG. And help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
No, I have the same problem. I had to use VLC to hear the audio and I can't figure out how to get the videos on IG from my computer/ "real camera" either. It's something I need to figure out though for sure!
How do know to need a new and upcoming camcorder is the 8K Handycam is must create in the future
Will this app working with off camera flash? In terms of taking self portraits? Will it also trigger the flashes? Thank you!!
With using your phone, you able to Preform Bulb Mode and use the Shutter?
It worked for meee thank youuuuuuuuu
thx brow
its worked
I’m having problems with the picture quality even though I selected to original I still get like the 2 mega bites picture size I have a Sony a7r3 and the only way to get the full quality transfer to my phone is dawn loading into my Mac book and airdrop them into my iPhone,do you know why is this happening,and also I checked in make sure they are not set to transfer proxy🤔
No I do not know why that is happening. I was under the impression they would be full size when copying the way you are doing based on the documentation. I only did it with the smaller files when I was testing..
Question, do you know why every pictures i share on the imaging edge mobile, the kb is compressed (smaller than when i transfered using usb drived)?
Yes, the camera creates proxy media files which are smaller when transferring. You can set it to full size in the app, but you will need to shoot in jpeg quality if you want full size image transfers.
Hi I have the rx100 vi and when it connected to my smartphone I can not control the camera mode' to change from P to others mode Why? and is there an option for timelaps for the rx100 vi?
Does a5000 can also connect to the iphone for shooting?
Can we use Bulb setting ? for long exposure
I agree the app is fiddly to use. I learnt a few things thank you. Not sure if it’s my A6000 or the app but I can have the most recent photos automatically transfer to my phone when I switch the camera off which I find really useful.
Thanks for the comments and I don't think that feature is available on the a6000 from what I am seeing in the support docs here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en&mnt=3
Jay SonyAlphaLab thanks for your reply. I feel you may have misread my comment I can transfer photos to my phone when a switch of the A6000, unless this shouldn’t happen and I got lucky.
paul frote how?? What switch??
Nicoletta K I have my phone and camera synced via the camera WiFi. I open the imaging edge app then when I turn off the camera using the on/off switch the photos transfer to my phone. Simples
I was only interested in the function "tap to track focus". So, is that possible with the remote control app. It's the single feature which is really interesting ....you know to do a rack focus without shaking the camera. Is it correct that the app does not have this feature?
Great content as always, thanks for all your hard work.
My pleasure Terry and thank you for taking the time to leave your nice comments :)
Jay, which video editing software you would recommend for sony camera, such as Rx100 ? thx a lot
I recommend Adobe Lightroom, because it's fairly easy to use and very powerful! Capture one is also a great program, but in my opinion and little harder to use out of the gate...
@@Jason_Hermann thanks Jay
Thank you so much worked on my Sony a6000 :)
Awesome!
Can send raw file?
does this work with sony a5100? I don't see control with smartphone on my camera
hi, I'm completely new with camera's. the icon send to phone (Fn) gives me zoom as result. can I change this setting?
Hi. I am using a Sony DSC WX500 but i don't have the same view like your in the application camera. And i don't know how to transfer fotos with high resolution in my phone.
Hi, thank you for the tutorials. Does this work with ZV- E10?
Yes it does
Does this file transfer from camera only apply to JPEG images?
Using Imaging Edge Mobile App with Sony HDR CX-675 camcorder and an Ipad. The app connects ok, but sometime randomly disconnects during recording of a video. Any suggestions?
Hi I am chasing a solution on how to use bulb mode for over the 30 seconds without touching the camera. cn you help with a solution at all. I use a sony a7r and 7iii. Your help would be appreciated.
You need a remote or cable release to use bulb mode as far as I know without touching the camera. I have never tried to use the app and remote control function for that purpose, but I would no be surprised if it worked or did not work. You must be in manual mode to use bulb mode, and then scroll past 30 seconds to enable bulb mode... Please let me know how you make out!
Thank you!
Wow ! You made the workflow so easy.. Only pain point of this app is, we cannot transfer raw images.. only jpegs
Yes I agree and thank you for the comments!
I normally use back button focus on A73. To get app to focus as demonstrated, I needed to turn ON AF w/Shutter (Menu 1; 6/14)
Ok, thanks and that is good to know!
how come no one else is getting low quality (soft around the eyes) copies when transferred? on the camera it's super sharp!
Thanks for the fantastic presentation as usual friend, does it work with the A6300?
Your very welcome and yes it will work on the A6300.
im confused cause i am trying it on my a6300 and it doesnt work. as soon as im clicked out of the page while transferring photos, the app disconnects from the camera instantly:(
hey jason, I recently bought a sony a6300 and i think there's a problem with this app. Whenever i connect it to my phone the manual settings don't show up in any mode (on my phone). All i can change through the app is the zoom and the EV. Cant change the iso, aperture etc at all. i thought maybe the a6300 didnt have this feature since it's an old camera but a lot of other youtubers just have the settings on their phones somehow. None of them replied so i hope you do.
Thanks.
Thank you so much, ı didnt connect with camera because ı didnt open location 😒😒 ı made it thank you from Turkey 👏
My Sony a7ii don’t seemed to have that control with phone function. Does it my my model does not have this particular function?
top notch instructional vid!!
Thank you :)
can you tap focus on the app for video, I'm using the old A9
I'm honestly not sure. It works on ,y A7C now after the app updated, but I don't know about the A9. According to the compatibility chart here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en it looks to be the same as the A7C, so I think it will work, but can't say for sure...
Hi guy, I've just bought an A6400. Is there a mac or window version of this app so people can transfer to PC?
Yes, you can get the software from Sony Here: imagingedge.sony.net/en-us/ie-desktop.html
Hello there!
When it comes to picture quality, are we talking about the same pictures , both on the phone and camera? In a way that they have the same resolution, sharpness etc? I’m just curious bcs we are using WiFi to send pics and not the other way, Via card reader and stuff. Thanks in advance.
No, the camera pushes what is called proxy media to the mobile device. Raw files can't be copied over using this method, so the old memory card way is still a better option for highest quality. This app is really designed for sharing on social media, emailing pics while in the field, and stuff like that.
Jay SonyAlphaLab thanks for your answer, Jay, I appreciate it.
