That’s my favourite lens that I use for almost everything, review coming soon! The 35mm Zeiss f2.8, it’s almost a pancake lens, and great for just about anything 🔥 Thanks for watching!
NOTE: This will disable Face Detect AF. In order to connect to the phone you have to turn on «ctrl w smartphone», and that disables Face detection. Aurofocus will still work, but not as good as it does with Face detection
Ohhh so is there a way to take a self-portrait focused with this app. I'm trying to practice at home but when I use the app, it doesn't focus on my face/eye! Do you know any other way I can focus my self? Thank you so much, sir!
thank you for showing the function. i have a question: is it possible to touch on the smartphone display in order to focus on a object before filming or taking pictures with the app?
Hi, I can't find this feature on the A6500, which is the baby version of the A7iii. I can only use Imaging Edge for monitoring pictures, but i can film using Imaging Edge on my laptop only, which makes no sense. Any idea ?
Nice video, but here is my question: How can you focus the camera?? Shouldn't there be a touch focus function ont he phone screen that allows you to focus?? Any advice woul dbe appreciated. Thanks very much.
I've been tapping my iPhone screen like a mad man since I installed this app, no luck I'm afraid. It's ridiculous that you can't choose a focus point via the smartphone screen. This is a BIG minus to this application.
Phillip Skraba OK, thank you Phil. I thought i was losing my mind. Leave it to Sony to create an app that leaves out maybe the most important feature. I may be wrong, but i think that the Play Memories App had that capability. So they create a new app, which is supposed to take the place of the old one, only leave out the most important feature. Thanks for your help.
@@scottabergermd I think I remember Play Memories also having that option!! Unless we're both mistaken. Yes, such a silly thing to leave out touch focus on the smartphone! Let's hope that there will be an update to this app that adds this function! Mind you, I don't have that option on my Smallhd, I think it would be easy for Sony to include though...
It drives me crazy when the image isn't mirrored. If you go into the settings on the app, at the very bottom you have the option to mirror the image. I hope that helps!
@@PhillipSkraba hey bro i still can't find it in the settings... i got it linked onto my imac. is there any way you could send me a screenshot or something? This has been killing me !!
@@itsjordanle Oh no! So when you open the app on your phone, make sure your camera is set to video mode, tap settings on your phone screen, scroll all the way down to the bottom and it has to be there. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. If this doesn't work, I'll send you a screenshot tomorrow 🔥

Many thanks Phillip for wonderful video! I have a question: what did you do to enter in film mode? What button did you push? Is it on the camera? Thanks!
I have the sony a5000, and I can use smart remote for photos, but I’m not sure how to film videos using it? Whenever I press the record button for videos on my camera it just doesn’t work whilst connected to smart remote.
Very helpful video, I am just facing this one issue, I am able to view the video on my laptop but I am not able to save the video on my laptop. I get a notification saying ' Recorded video will be saved on the memory card'. I need it to be saved on my laptop. What changes are needed? This has happened on both, MacBook and Windows.
Hello Phillip, thank you so much for your vídeo! Please help me, I'm trying to take some self-portraits and I can't figure out how to focus white the app. You just pressed the shutter as I did, but mine doesn't focus on my eye/face. I have eye/face on, is there anything else I have to turn on! Thank you so much in advance!
Thank you so much for your video! I hVe the A7iii and i have been trying this for a while but even with the camera on Auto and AF and face detection on, it will not focus. i have to manually focus in. a certain spot and put my face there which only works for about 1/100 photos if i’m in the exact right angle. how did you get it to automatically refocus when you moved in the video please? Please i hope you see this i have been trying for so long
Can app let you tap a subject to Focus on the special subject ,or move to another subject to focus on during the video recording? It look like I cannot see where is the cameras focus on.
how about focus accuracy? It will help to check is everything is in focus and sharp when connected to laptop or pad because of the larger display? For example in situations when it is necessary to take interview, to be in frame together with other person and at the same time check basic things on bigger screen. I'm planning to shoot in manual focus anyway.
Manual focus for an interview setting is pretty hardcore, but if you're up for it sure. If you watch my last film on tethering, you'll see you can connect the camera to your laptop so you can use a really, really big screen to keep an eye on focus.
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.
Thank You Emma, I'm afraid you can't actually switch between those modes in the app, odd, I know. You can have to manually switch between them on the camera for that to change on the app.
@@PhillipSkraba wow thanks for your quick reply. hmm alright, I thought it was possible to switch directly in the app, they gonna need to work on that hahah
Is there a reason why my mobile interface has less options than yours? I am running A7 and all I have are rotate, ev, shot and timer. Shutter, ISO, AWB are all gone.
I had the same issue with a couple of my cameras. Solution? Update the Smart Remote Control App of the camera (playmemoriescameraapps.com). After that, you will have all the controls available 👍
Hi Shiv, sure you can. You have to manually turn the dial to video on your camera, and it should then allow you to see yourself, at least that's how mine works with my A7III.
Hi, one little thing. Am I completely dumb or the app can set everything but focus, so you need to actually first focus with the actual shutter button and then leave it as it is? Thanks for any help.
That's correct, it's blurry until you press the shutter button and it takes a photo, then it focuses depending on the focus mode you have set on the camera. In Video it will focus automatically if you have it set that way on the camera. No problem, happy to help!
thanks for the tutorial!! I was almost about to purchase a wireless remote control for my sony a7iii. going to give this a go first :) I hope I'll like it cause the ''play memories'' app that sony uses is absolutely terrible to say the least.
Hello, can you do a review/playback in real time of the video clip you've recorded on camera? On the Lumix App i can watch and listen directly via app the video I've recording while using remote live view of the camera, with this APP?
@@PhillipSkraba no, I mean to watch the recorded video clip after the record, not just the remote live view. Watch a review of the content via smartphone, like you can do on the camera.
It uses the wifi connection between your camera and phone, so sure you can be on the beach, no problem at all, no need for an external wifi connection.
Good Video - do you know if you want two screens - can you connect the A7iii via usb to your Mac - and at the same time us the wifi to connect to your iPad?
@@PhillipSkraba like mirror reverse it Like on my iPhone there is a setting on camera that is called mirror selfie’s And I heard there is the same on a camera But I can’t figure out how to do it
It show all the photos you've taken whilst using the app, I haven't tested it using older photos taken without the app. I'll try it out when I get a minute.
Thank you Phillip for showing us these feature. But I do a trouble to connect to my iPhone 6s Plus because transfer image taking too long n I only use 2 m only as yours. Is it anything’s I miss in setting ? Can I ask you later when I have trouble ? Thanks Phillip Shawn Sincerely
Hi Shawn, it sometimes is a bit funny and frustrating to use, but it should work. Sometimes I have had to delete and reinstall it, as Sony really hasn't done the best job of keeping this app up to date. Let me know how it's going for you. I'll make a film about the desktop app too, it's a really helpful tool!
I believe that both Apple and Android work with this option, yes. I don't own an Android phone, but I see Imaging Edge Mobile is available for download, so should work!
It wasn't working for me at first, I thought you were trying to trick us, but it turns out that you cannot have "connect w/ camera via access point" turned on in the settings on the Imaging Edge Mobile app. Thanks for filming it each step of the way!!
Hi, I hope your help, how can I connect gp-vpt2bt in my A73 camera. when i want to connect it tells me to enter with the play memories app, after entering and configuring everything it still doesn't work ...
I'm afraid I don't own the handgrip, it seemed way too expensive for me to add to my kit at this moment in time. I didn't realise you had to go through the app, if that is the case then you might be ready for a fight as the app can be a real pain in the ass. I think Jason Vong did a film about it, so I'd recommend going over to his channel and checking it out, he might be able to help you. Thanks for dropping by, stay safe 🔥
I'm afraid not, no. You can however connect it via usb-c to the laptop, I did a film on that recently. That should more or less get rid of the lag issue depending on the laptop you have.
@@keyun211 It's so annoying, I know! I wish they added such a simple feature. I use it as a monitor sometimes when I'm out and about and need to see what I'm filming, for that it's great. If it could touch focus, they it would be fantastic!
@@PhillipSkraba I just switched from Canon and I love how EOS R screenwork and Canon App was just like you have your camera in your hand...all function work from your phone..I just try to do self portrait today to learn my new A7r4 and all my pictures are blurry due to camera focus.. Sony System is way better in many ways but two things is lagging and its better remove app and menu set up..
@@keyun211 The menu setup I love now!! It's real complicated, but once you get it you'll love it! I have to make a film about my settings. The app, yea, it lags like hell, I wish they did a better job with it. I've never had problems with blurry images though, the A7RIV is giving you blurry images?? Only through the app though right??
Phillip, can you elaborate on the location services? More often than not my iPhone and camera don't find each other. The app keeps searching the camera even though they are just one feet apart and were connected a few minutes before. Its driving me crazy since I usually notice it after a bunch of photos were taken. Adding insult to injury, "reseting" and starting again also too often does not work.
Eduardo, I have to tell you, I've had this problem a few times too. It connects, disconnects, it's not a 100% stable. It's very convenient, it just isn't stable as each phone is different, each has a different processor, and memory etc. That's why I prefer usin a dedicated monitor when I film, however, when I don't have one on hand, this setup usually comes in handy.
hi ! i just bought a new sony Camera, Rxo ii , and i found when i imported the video to the imaging edge mobile, the audio is not supported in my phone. does anyone know what happened?
I'm afraid they are too large, so you can only see what you're filming, not copy what you've filmed. The only way to do it fill the screen with the image and record your screen.
Well, when it is on continuous, it changes from a button to a slider, and if you slide it, it should then start firing off shots until you slide it back.
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you one more thing is it correct that on the iPad the 3 display variations are missing ? There is only one way to see the display ?
Hi Phillip, thank you for this video. I don’t have a Sony camera yet but I am considering getting one. I would be grateful if you could answer a couple of questions. Firstly, do you know whether the video remote shooting functionality is available for the lower Sony models like the 6100 or 6300? Secondly, can this application be used on a computer with a USB connection? Many thanks indeed.
Hi Lazar, sure, both those cameras are compatible with the app. Sony is very slow in updating this app, probably because it's free, however most of the options should work on both those cameras. Yes, there is a desktop app that works with a usb connection, I will make a film on that shortly, keep an eye out.
Well, not in the app, no. I adjust all of that in my camera, actually I set that all up the day I bought it and have never changed it, apart from as tweak here and there. What is the reason you would need access to those functions on the app? Serious question - *not being rude.
Phillip Skraba I saw a person doing that on TH-cam via “tethering”. Just because I get all kinds of colors depending on time of day (o have natural light sitting near my green screen and always get orange cast in my face, so I need to bring saturation way down)
Really? It should work. Sometimes I have problems with connecting, I try it a few times, go in and out, and it connects. Yes, I really hope Sony updates this app more often and makes it more reliable.
@@ciantisdall Yes, I'm afraid so. If you camera is still, it's sometimes okay, but if you're moving the the bitrate is higher, it struggles and cuts freezes every now and then. Ridiculously frustrating. It does however sometimes works, but not always. It's not something you can count on, let me out it that way.
@@ciantisdall No, not at all. I've been using the Andycine A6Plus a lot recently, awesome budget monitor, the v2 just came out, I highly recommend that.
@@PhillipSkraba I tried today and was using it like crazy also I setup my Daughters Iphone and it works better then my Iphone Plus 8 And she has and Iphone 7 Maybe I should do a video on it. LOL
@@gatlinproduction It's a great app when it works, I see a lot of people get frustrated with it. I like using it, it's very handy. I'm happy you got it working 🔥
no, not really call, one of the most important thing is missing: FOCUS CONTROL with the app, what is Sony thinking of? if you hesitate between canon and sony, as camera are closer and closer, that kind of option may lead to Canon...
I don't think this would make me lean towards Canon, I use it very rarely, but when I do it does the job, focus, yes, shame that's no included. It was once...
I have a7ii which is supported but their isn't a control with smartphone function on the camera none of my raw files will transfer to my phone says it's 1080p as resolution even tho they are 24megapixel raw stills I don't have this problem with my 50.6 megapixel Canon 5ds I can transfer and view those raw photos in all their detaill on my phone im about to return the a7ii too it's been nothing but a headache anyone have any advice on how I can transfer my raw photos to my phone this shouldn't be this hard I take as card out put in phone transfer down that's all it takes on my Canon why not on the Sony?!?!??
Hi Taylor, I agree with you, even with the a7iii, this app is very frustrating. I see Sony did an update 2 weeks ago, it should work better and have a few more options, but I'm afraid Sony is very slow at getting updates out for this app and it still has a lot of bugs, as well as the connection being very bad most of the time. I usually just go oldschool, download the photos to my laptop, output quickly via Lightroom and send those to my email or airdrop them. I only use this app as a backup monitor for my Sony, otherwise I feel like I want to rip all my hair out.
Hi! When i try to film the camera says: "cannot record movies while using this aplication, to shoot movies close the aplication" - How did you do the movie setting?
@@saskia_oever Looking at the compatibility list the a7 should work with this app. I've never had it though, I started with the a73, so I'm not sure exactly what the problem might be...
Looks like no zoom control. I want to buy the RX10M4 but can't find anything that will give a remote zoom function anywhere. Old cameras had remotes that worked but no screen.
No zoom control I'm afraid! I'm sure they could add zoom control and touch focus, as with these two options added this app would be awesome. Lets hope they will keep updating the app!
Hi, very helpfull video. I just have one problem. I have a6000. when I connect it to a smartphone and switch to video mode, the camera displays info "unavailable in this shooting mode. switch to another mode". Any ideas why is that and how to fix it?
I'm afraid video mode isn't available on every Sony camera Bartek, check out the compatibility chart to see if the a6000 supports video through the app. The app generally has a lot of problems which I hope Sony will update soon. Stay safe out there!
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, it's a bummer. I guess it's time to upgrade my camera. Take care and keep the good content coming.
@@bartoszgizot5807 Well, I've been looking on Ebay, Amazon and Allegro, and I have to tell you prices for certain items are dropping at the moment, so if you have toilet paper for the next 6 months, maybe it's time to spend that saved up money on a new camera 🔥
You're most welcome! It's easy as cake, all you do is turn the dial on top of the camera from M/S/A/P to the film reel and that should swap it automatically on the Imaging Edge Mobile app. I hope that works for you!
@@travelpockets That would make life much easier, and I'm sure it's achievable for Sony, as the remote I use whilst filming these films has a shutter and record button, which if I remember correctly works in photo mode, in video mode I have the shutter button as the record button so it doesn't work in that. I'm sure Sony could include these improvements for a future app update.
@@nk1234nk1234 From looking at the supported devices on the website, it seems that your model doesn't have all the options supported, maybe this is the reason. You can check out the supported options here - support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount
Hey I currently have the s10plus when I use the Sony image app to download pictures from the a7iii the images comes out horrible when I use the s7plus and the sony image app the pictures resolution is beautiful can you please help?
can you or anyone explain why I cannot connect the camera and phone for screen mirroring? I am able to transfer photos (no videos for whatever reason) but I can't even use my phone as a screen for what the camera sees? any help would be great
@@maximfitness2496 Well, that is odd. Ok, what phone are you using? So you can't connect the camera to the phone at all? I sometimes need to connect about 10 times before it actually works, the app isn't the most reliable app in the world I'm afraid 🙈
Phillip Skraba I can connect the phone to the camera, but only to transfer pictures I really need the phone to be an external monitor, but I can’t do that. I have iPhone X
@@maximfitness2496 That's really odd, however, you're now the second person to have a similar problem with the X. I would for the purpose of elimination try another phone just to see if it works. If you've followed all steps in this video it should work.
@@b3lievemedia573 That's a good one! Well, if you carefully followed my instructions in this film, it should work, unless it's your phone. What are you using?
@@PhillipSkraba Using iPhone Xs Max, also tried with a Macbook Pro 15" touch bar via usb still not worked, followed instructions and everything. I did see bad reviews though about the app on App Store..
@@b3lievemedia573 The app can suck, like seriously suck to the point that you want to throw your shiny new Xs Max at the wall and spit on your camera. Fight that feeling. Put the phone down, move away from the camera, and go make some green tea. Come back, and try and try and try again until it connects. That's how I do it. That, and a new phone every month.
Dear Victoria, looking at supported devices it seems the A7i is supported, so it should work. I'm pretty sure the setup should be similar to the a7iii support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount
I know it's a nightmare, I use this option if I have no other option, that's my honest statement. If they fix the lag, add a histogram, touch focus and make it more user friendly then I would use it a lot more.
Hey thanks for the video, I’ve been having trouble with this process. It seems the camera is acting as the wifi / router. I already have a router and wifi so I don’t know if there’s any interference going on or not but it’s a little frustrating.
Hi! It's not a little frustrating, it basically is the cause of 99% of broken Sony preview screens. So you need to try to connect, and then connect, and keep doing that until it does. Ignore any routers. It's just you, your phone and your camera. Hide all hammers. On your camera press connect, on your phone press connect, and it should connect after 7,102 times. You'll get there. Once it connects the first time, the next time it only takes 17 times, so patience is key.
I can’t get mine to connect at all. I’ve tried this app and another app. Neither of them will work. My camera says the function is disabled even though it’s turned on.
I believe playback of videos will only work if you install the Move Edit add-on. Then you can playback videos and even edit them into a short film on the go! I'll make a video about it!
Hey Phill, great tutorial and it seems to have worked in the past, but apparently, after apple released IOS 13 it stopped working because sony has yet to update their app. Is there any other apps out there that work in the same way?
@@PhillipSkraba yea sadly it doesn't work because Sony interface changed for the new cameras - But it would work on android with a usb type C to C + it will have to be paid version -20$ ) to work with sony a7iii
I don't see why not. I use it for long exposures so not to touch the camera, I believe if you set it to bulb there shouldn't be any problem. I can check that out later.
Very helpful! I have a question though - I was able to connect the app and use the remote shutter, and everything looks the same except for some reason, even on Manual mode I can't change any thing on the app (shutter, ISO, aperture, white balance) like it seems everyone else can! I have the Sony a7ii if that makes a difference. I tried googling but I can't find any solutions :(
That is an odd problem. Have you tried the classic, uninstall - reinstall solution? When you try aperture or shutter priority can you change any of the settings?
Can we do this for flip screen issue when we do vlog thing and cant flip the screen to see our self?
Sure, you could do, it sometimes dropped signal, but most of the time it's quite well behaved.
What is that gorgeous lens you're using - I assume for your a7iii
That’s my favourite lens that I use for almost everything, review coming soon! The 35mm Zeiss f2.8, it’s almost a pancake lens, and great for just about anything 🔥 Thanks for watching!

I was looking to see if it were possible to control zoom on the A7S3 with the app but it appears not. Correct?
I'm afraid not, no.
great video, but you didnt show how to switch from photo mode to video mode in the app? cant find it...
Thank You Emma, I'm afraid you can't actually switch between those modes in the app, odd, I know. You can have to manually switch between them on the camera for that to change on the app.
@@PhillipSkraba wow thanks for your quick reply. hmm alright, I thought it was possible to switch directly in the app, they gonna need to work on that hahah
@@emmawang503 They need to work a lot on this app, that's true Emma!
Is there a reason why my mobile interface has less options than yours? I am running A7 and all I have are rotate, ev, shot and timer. Shutter, ISO, AWB are all gone.
I’m having the same problem. I’m using the A7ii on a iPhone X. Can anyone please help!
It's possible there has been an update recently, I will check.
Thanks!
I had the same issue with a couple of my cameras. Solution? Update the Smart Remote Control App of the camera (playmemoriescameraapps.com). After that, you will have all the controls available 👍
@fourth wall.. thank you so much! Everything works perfect now👍🏼
What about a6000 series? I am try doesn’t work 🙏🙏🙏thank make you tutorial I’ll wait
If you look at the compatibility list in the description you'll see it's listed, so it should work with some of the functions.
Phillip Skraba wauuuuwwww thanks I will try again
@@Sandrojabrik no problem, anytime!
Hey Phill , can you use ur smart phone as monitor while filming or recording .. This app does not work in video rec mode.
Hi Shiv, sure you can. You have to manually turn the dial to video on your camera, and it should then allow you to see yourself, at least that's how mine works with my A7III.
@@PhillipSkraba yeah , i guess rest other models above A6000 got the upgrade to shoot in video mode but sadly this trick did not work.
@@shivsparkky Oh I see, okay, shame about that.
Hi, one little thing. Am I completely dumb or the app can set everything but focus, so you need to actually first focus with the actual shutter button and then leave it as it is? Thanks for any help.
That's correct, it's blurry until you press the shutter button and it takes a photo, then it focuses depending on the focus mode you have set on the camera. In Video it will focus automatically if you have it set that way on the camera. No problem, happy to help!
Thanks! What i needed . I couldn’t find the QR code on camera..
thanks for the tutorial!! I was almost about to purchase a wireless remote control for my sony a7iii. going to give this a go first :) I hope I'll like it cause the ''play memories'' app that sony uses is absolutely terrible to say the least.
Hello, can you do a review/playback in real time of the video clip you've recorded on camera? On the Lumix App i can watch and listen directly via app the video I've recording while using remote live view of the camera, with this APP?
Sure, you can use the app to watch what you're filming and taking photos of in real time.
@@PhillipSkraba no, I mean to watch the recorded video clip after the record, not just the remote live view. Watch a review of the content via smartphone, like you can do on the camera.
Does it require a wifi connection? Can it function over bluetooth, for example when I'm out on the beach?
It uses the wifi connection between your camera and phone, so sure you can be on the beach, no problem at all, no need for an external wifi connection.
Good Video - do you know if you want two screens - can you connect the A7iii via usb to your Mac - and at the same time us the wifi to connect to your iPad?
Any bypass?
Awesome tip, I'll have to try that out! Thank You.
Can you use the phone has remote shutter for bulb shooting?
I believe it works for bulb and burst, you have a slider instead of a button in that case 🌟
@@PhillipSkraba thanks for your replay Phillip, and for your video... have a great Sunday!

Hi question
Can I mirror on my Sony camera without the app and so on
Bcs the internet tells me yes
But I still have no idea how
What do you mean when you say mirror? Flip the image?
@@PhillipSkraba like mirror reverse it
Like on my iPhone there is a setting on camera that is called mirror selfie’s
And I heard there is the same on a camera
But I can’t figure out how to do it
Can you check all the picture you have on the SD card thru the app?? Or will just show you the most recent picture?
It show all the photos you've taken whilst using the app, I haven't tested it using older photos taken without the app. I'll try it out when I get a minute.
It doesn't supports tap to focus neither Af-C is available ! What's the point have such feature then ?
I know, it has its downsides I' afraid, let's hope Sony has lots of time on its hands right now and it can update it.
Thank you Phillip for showing us these feature. But I do a trouble to connect to my iPhone 6s Plus because transfer image taking too long n I only use 2 m only as yours.
Is it anything’s I miss in setting ?
Can I ask you later when I have trouble ?
Thanks Phillip
Shawn
Sincerely
Hi Shawn, it sometimes is a bit funny and frustrating to use, but it should work. Sometimes I have had to delete and reinstall it, as Sony really hasn't done the best job of keeping this app up to date. Let me know how it's going for you. I'll make a film about the desktop app too, it's a really helpful tool!
that was dope . good looking
Thanks!
Can you tether Android to a7riii for video monitor?
I believe that both Apple and Android work with this option, yes. I don't own an Android phone, but I see Imaging Edge Mobile is available for download, so should work!
It wasn't working for me at first, I thought you were trying to trick us, but it turns out that you cannot have "connect w/ camera via access point" turned on in the settings on the Imaging Edge Mobile app. Thanks for filming it each step of the way!!
You're very welcome! Yes, that's correct, I've found that option turned on doesn't work.
Hi, I hope your help, how can I connect gp-vpt2bt in my A73 camera. when i want to connect it tells me to enter with the play memories app, after entering and configuring everything it still doesn't work ...
I'm afraid I don't own the handgrip, it seemed way too expensive for me to add to my kit at this moment in time. I didn't realise you had to go through the app, if that is the case then you might be ready for a fight as the app can be a real pain in the ass. I think Jason Vong did a film about it, so I'd recommend going over to his channel and checking it out, he might be able to help you. Thanks for dropping by, stay safe 🔥
@@PhillipSkraba I already returned it. It was a great headache to try several times, thank you very much for answering.
@@huaxtekink3360 Yes, it looked like a great idea, but maybe too much fuss to get it working, it also had a hefty price tag, which really put me off.
Is there a way to connect it using usb type C? Perhaps that gets rid of lag/latency issue🤔.
I'm afraid not, no. You can however connect it via usb-c to the laptop, I did a film on that recently. That should more or less get rid of the lag issue depending on the laptop you have.
@@PhillipSkraba can you attach a large 7inch tablet?
Does it save movie and photo into sd or just in the smartphone?
It will save to you SD card, you can however download photos to your smartphone via the app.
@@PhillipSkraba no that's perfect on the sd with the intended quality. Fuji app save video only in 720p when you hit record from the app :/
@@nerdMike On the Sony it will save on the SD card in whatever quality you have set. The app is great, but it does have it's minuses.

Hi, how to adjust focus using the phone?
Thanks!
Joenel Torremoro I’m afraid this option is not available in the app. Yes, I know, it’s ridiculous they can’t add it 🙈
@Joenel Torremoro it is not available, i tried and there is no option. Without this option, this app is junk. :-(
@@keyun211 It's so annoying, I know! I wish they added such a simple feature. I use it as a monitor sometimes when I'm out and about and need to see what I'm filming, for that it's great. If it could touch focus, they it would be fantastic!
@@PhillipSkraba I just switched from Canon and I love how EOS R screenwork and Canon App was just like you have your camera in your hand...all function work from your phone..I just try to do self portrait today to learn my new A7r4 and all my pictures are blurry due to camera focus.. Sony System is way better in many ways but two things is lagging and its better remove app and menu set up..
@@keyun211 The menu setup I love now!! It's real complicated, but once you get it you'll love it! I have to make a film about my settings. The app, yea, it lags like hell, I wish they did a better job with it. I've never had problems with blurry images though, the A7RIV is giving you blurry images?? Only through the app though right??
Great Video. Do you have to be connected to WiFi for this to work. Or could I use it at a park
Sure, you can use it in a park, I did today!
Phillip, can you elaborate on the location services? More often than not my iPhone and camera don't find each other. The app keeps searching the camera even though they are just one feet apart and were connected a few minutes before. Its driving me crazy since I usually notice it after a bunch of photos were taken. Adding insult to injury, "reseting" and starting again also too often does not work.
Eduardo, I have to tell you, I've had this problem a few times too. It connects, disconnects, it's not a 100% stable. It's very convenient, it just isn't stable as each phone is different, each has a different processor, and memory etc. That's why I prefer usin a dedicated monitor when I film, however, when I don't have one on hand, this setup usually comes in handy.
hi ! i just bought a new sony Camera, Rxo ii , and i found when i imported the video to the imaging edge mobile, the audio is not supported in my phone. does anyone know what happened?
Sounds like an odd problem, have you tested it out on another phone or computer?
@@PhillipSkraba not yet. maybe i will try it later,
I have a Sony pxw -z150 …can I transfer videos for theSD card to my Mac 🖥 using this app?
I'm afraid you can transfer from camera to phone only.
Quick question could I upload the videos I record on the camera to my iPhone over WiFi
I'm afraid they are too large, so you can only see what you're filming, not copy what you've filmed. The only way to do it fill the screen with the image and record your screen.
Phillip Skraba Okay got it I understand
Hello, are you using the 35mm f 2.8 lens? If so, how did you make the background go blur with a 2.8 lens?
Please, answer.
Sure Ted, 35mm f2.8 does a good job, well, just keep things a little further away in the background and you a little closer.
It only works in single shooting setting . I can change it to continuous shooting but than it won t take a photo . What dod I do wrong ?
Well, when it is on continuous, it changes from a button to a slider, and if you slide it, it should then start firing off shots until you slide it back.
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you one more thing is it correct that on the iPad the 3 display variations are missing ? There is only one way to see the display ?
@@acneubauer I'm afraid I haven't tried it on my iPad, I'll give it a go tomorrow and see.
Hi Phillip, thank you for this video. I don’t have a Sony camera yet but I am considering getting one. I would be grateful if you could answer a couple of questions. Firstly, do you know whether the video remote shooting functionality is available for the lower Sony models like the 6100 or 6300? Secondly, can this application be used on a computer with a USB connection? Many thanks indeed.
Hi Lazar, sure, both those cameras are compatible with the app. Sony is very slow in updating this app, probably because it's free, however most of the options should work on both those cameras. Yes, there is a desktop app that works with a usb connection, I will make a film on that shortly, keep an eye out.
@@PhillipSkraba
Many thanks Phillip and sorry for my very late response.
Canon has more settings you can adjust saturation, contrast , sharpness. Is there a way to do that on Sony ????
Well, not in the app, no. I adjust all of that in my camera, actually I set that all up the day I bought it and have never changed it, apart from as tweak here and there. What is the reason you would need access to those functions on the app? Serious question - *not being rude.
Phillip Skraba I saw a person doing that on TH-cam via “tethering”. Just because I get all kinds of colors depending on time of day (o have natural light sitting near my green screen and always get orange cast in my face, so I need to bring saturation way down)
app works fine for us... thanks for the great simple tutorial!
You're welcome! It's a great app when it works, hopefully Sony will keep updating it. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a mark.
Anyone know how to get the 2.35:1 marker lines to display on the smartphone when live monitoring?
I don't think I've seen that option anywhere I'm afraid. You might just have to go oldschool and tape it off, been there, done that!

How do you Focus the camera from the app

Really? It should work. Sometimes I have problems with connecting, I try it a few times, go in and out, and it connects. Yes, I really hope Sony updates this app more often and makes it more reliable.
Just wondering is their a way to tether the iphone to the camera with a mini hdmi cable?
I don't believe so, if there is, let me know! The only way I am aware of is the bluetooth and wifi connections I'm afraid.
@@PhillipSkraba Is it quite laggy for doing something like video?
@@ciantisdall Yes, I'm afraid so. If you camera is still, it's sometimes okay, but if you're moving the the bitrate is higher, it struggles and cuts freezes every now and then. Ridiculously frustrating. It does however sometimes works, but not always. It's not something you can count on, let me out it that way.

no, not really call, one of the most important thing is missing: FOCUS CONTROL with the app, what is Sony thinking of? if you hesitate between canon and sony, as camera are closer and closer, that kind of option may lead to Canon...
I don't think this would make me lean towards Canon, I use it very rarely, but when I do it does the job, focus, yes, shame that's no included. It was once...
Do you know how far the wifi signal can reach to the camera?

Hi Taylor, I agree with you, even with the a7iii, this app is very frustrating. I see Sony did an update 2 weeks ago, it should work better and have a few more options, but I'm afraid Sony is very slow at getting updates out for this app and it still has a lot of bugs, as well as the connection being very bad most of the time. I usually just go oldschool, download the photos to my laptop, output quickly via Lightroom and send those to my email or airdrop them. I only use this app as a backup monitor for my Sony, otherwise I feel like I want to rip all my hair out.
Hi! When i try to film the camera says: "cannot record movies while using this aplication, to shoot movies close the aplication" - How did you do the movie setting?
Yes, it will only record to the memory card in the camera, not to the app.
Thanks for your response. It also don't record on the camera. It just seems impossible to film when i did connect my phone to the camera with the app.

Hey thanks for the video,
I’ve been having trouble with this process. It seems the camera is acting as the wifi / router. I already have a router and wifi so I don’t know if there’s any interference going on or not but it’s a little frustrating.
Hi! It's not a little frustrating, it basically is the cause of 99% of broken Sony preview screens. So you need to try to connect, and then connect, and keep doing that until it does. Ignore any routers. It's just you, your phone and your camera. Hide all hammers. On your camera press connect, on your phone press connect, and it should connect after 7,102 times. You'll get there. Once it connects the first time, the next time it only takes 17 times, so patience is key.
I can’t get mine to connect at all. I’ve tried this app and another app. Neither of them will work. My camera says the function is disabled even though it’s turned on.
That is very odd, did you follow all my instructions here? It takes me sometimes 10 times to connect, quite a frustrating app sometimes.
Dose this work for any Sony cammera
No, I'm afraid not, there is a compatibility list link in the description below if you'd like to check your specific camera.
Hey Phil, do you know how to see video playback on on the app? I can see photos but it says ACVHD not available.
I believe playback of videos will only work if you install the Move Edit add-on. Then you can playback videos and even edit them into a short film on the go! I'll make a video about it!
Hey Phill, great tutorial and it seems to have worked in the past, but apparently, after apple released IOS 13 it stopped working because sony has yet to update their app. Is there any other apps out there that work in the same way?
Really? I had mine working the other day. It can be a pain, and a tad frustrating, but it'll work in the end.
Paid -Shutter for all sony cameras with wifi

is there any way to see battery level from the app? thanks
No, I'm afraid not, I wish there was!
Is it possible to use this app for long exposures with bulb mode?
I don't see why not. I use it for long exposures so not to touch the camera, I believe if you set it to bulb there shouldn't be any problem. I can check that out later.
