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.
4 years on and it is still the best training video for using IEM. Blown away by the smartphone control which I achieved. Now need to get GPS sorted through iphone linkage
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.
had my little sony forever, didnt know I could do all this, Many Thanks
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!
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 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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 👍
"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
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 ..
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 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
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.
Their app is a disaster. Epic fail. And I thought Nikon's is bad. At least Nikon's app works.
To transfer videos it works by recording videos using MP4 mode instead of AVHCD.
MP4 is compatible on smartphone
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.
Your you tube was awesome - my question/concern is that when using either camera or app. - i am taking one picture but it is triplicating each picture, so when i upload to my android or to snapfish i have to delete 2 of every picture, what am i doing wrong? :(
It sounds like you have some sort of bracketing mode enabled. Make sure the camera is set to single shot in the drive mode area...
Woww that was it!!! Thank you Sir!!
I had this app in my iPhone and it worked not easily but it worked. Now , after an update was made to the app , it does not work in my iPhone any more. Now it is impossible for me to use the camera with my iPhone. . I was told by the representative of Sony that my phone is not supported. So be careful when you buy Sony camera. It may work in the beginning but not any more after a while.
Same thing. Such a joke. What model is your iPhone? Mine's a 7 and won't connect to the camera no matter what I do.
What model is your phone?
hila berliner same
hila berliner It worked so perfectly before now it’s acting up and it’s not on the App Store anymore well it is it can’t be downloaded
@@dionthacreator3499 I have an a5000 and iPhone 8plus. The photo transfer used to work fine but when the phone was upgraded to iOS 13, it no longer works, no matter all the steps I have followed directly from Sony when I contacted them. So very frustrating!
Hi! If i wanted to use BULB shutter speed...can it be used with the app so i don’t have to buy external shutter button?? Cool video btw!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent question and yes you can use "BULB" shutter mode with the app. I just tried it on my A6400 to verify it works Toni ;)
@@Jason_Hermann So awesome!!!! I was about to buy external shutter button thing🤣 Good to know that i don’t have to!! I have A6400 also🙌🏻👍🏻
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, 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...
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!
Hi, thank you for the tutorials. Does this work with ZV- E10?
Yes it does
Hi Jason, I am using this apps for a while and I really enjoy using it as a remote when my camera is still on a tripod. My Question is : why can't we use the focus point on the phone screen ! It used to work, I could choose where to place the area I wanted but not anymore and I wonder if it is something to do with the settings in the camera. It's so annoying to have to press the camera screen to choose the focus point. Hope you can help me. Thanks for your care.
Can you also change the focus point?
Only when using a few cameras can you change the focus point from the app via touch. The A7S III I believe can do it currently. I have no idea why Sony does not open this feature up to all the cameras, because it would really help them in the long run I think....
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!
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
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 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.
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...
Man you have a wonderful channel, your personality pretty dope too man thanks 🤙🏾
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 great video! Hope you can help... what setting did i do wrong if i cannot choose the shooting mode... A,S,P,Auto from the app do you know? I tried removing app and installing again so is it a camera setting?
Which camera are you using? No all cameras support changing the Shooting Mode...
Jay SonyAlphaLab it the rx100 mk 7
@@marcelwarnaar Can you connect to the camera in remote control mode?
Jay SonyAlphaLab yessir no problem just the shooting mode is greyed out
Jay SonyAlphaLab found it! Just had to read all the settings.... Good thing you did give the hint about the remote control mode, found it there! Thx
Two questions please , how long is the effective range so they stay connected ? Does it work on a tablet ?
I don't know how far the range is, but it will work on a tablet.
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?
Care to explain why the sharpness / quality greatly decreases when I transfer the images to my phone? The photos are really crisp on the camera screen.. (I had all photo transfer settings at the highest..)
I have not noticed much loss in detail myself when transferring photos other than the severe decrease in resolution. The app is really meant for getting proxy copies of the images on your phone, so you can easily share via email or social media. It's really not meant for transferring original copies as it turns out. Frustrating I know... I suggest using a memory card reader attachment for your phone or tablet and then you can just transfer full resolution originals. They are cheap and ultra compact on Amazon these days like this unit for example: amzn.to/2MQ9Ljs
@@Jason_Hermann Cheers!
If forces JPEG only transfer so if you shoot in raw yea.
I’ve been reverse engineering my memory cards when I Fill them then changing the format to quantum computing and once the Qbits collapse they are “mined” into Non-fungible tokens, and then I just hit print
How do know to need a new and upcoming camcorder is the 8K Handycam is must create in the future
Can you do this just using your phones internet or do you need internet service or a network like in your house or elsewhere?
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
Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks a stack.
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!!
Great video!
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
Can I use imaging edge desktop and imaging edge Mobile the same time for creating UA-cam videos?
I just purchase a use Sony a6300!
I do not think so, but have also never tried that Joon.
Jay SonyAlphaLab okay thank you!
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!
Absolutely crystal clear instructions and adice! Thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you very much for the kind words Patrick :)
any suggestions for the case when the live view and remote control is lagging by about 3-5 seconds ? using zv e10 and iphone
Thank you so much, ı didnt connect with camera because ı didnt open location 😒😒 ı made it thank you from Turkey 👏
Worked like a charm for me.
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:(
Hi! Great video! My photos only show up in the imaging edge app. Any idea how I can get them to populate my Samsung photos folder?
I have the same issue. Any advice for the iPhone too?
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 ;)
Hi Jay, does it also save in your cam's SD card when you just use the remote control?
Yes it does save on the SD card also ;)
Great! Thanks
Thank you so much worked on my Sony a6000 :)
Awesome!
Can send raw file?
With the app, when I adjust the zoom settings, will they stay put even when I exit/disconnect the camera from the smartphone? Thanks1
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...
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.
For some reason when i connect my a6300 with my samsung note 20 ultra i dont get that many options with smart remote feature i only get shutter button. Im using sigma 30mm
Older cameras are limited with features when remote controlling. support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en
Is it possible to shoot remotely with your phone a RAW file or just JPG?
Yes, you can shoot raw, raw + jpeg, or jpeg remotely. Transfering raw files is not an option though...
Jay SonyAlphaLab I can’t shoot remotly with my phonw just a RAW file. Do you know where the option is?
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.
Is there a list of supported devices because I'm having no luck on the remote control with my A7RII.
Yes, see here for the specifics: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en
Turns out the issue is with my Oneplus 7Pro, Because I was able to connect just find with my older phones.
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!
Great! It worked 👏👏👏
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?
Control with smartphone option cannot be seen in Sony a7ii and Sony rx100iii. Is this option only available in latest models? Or any updates are needed for these cameras?
Yes, this is a per model type feature. See here for the compatibility list of given features per camera model: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en
Jay SonyAlphaLab Thanks for the reply and info! Any alternative option to adjust the focus in smartphone rather than camera? I don’t even see option to adjust focus on smartphone when using Smart remote app provided by Sony
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
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!
does this work with sony a5100? I don't see control with smartphone on my camera
Hi there, thanks for this video. Do you know why this app doesn't connect with an iPhone 11/Sony A7RIV?
Hello, this apps works with the Sony ZV-1 ?
Yes
So helpful, thanks!
thank you bro i was straggling for long time to connect my camera to smart phone use it as monitor
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?
can u change the focus point by tapping the subject on the phone?
No
@@Jason_Hermann thanx ..is this particularly related to this specific model or is this issue generally for all models?.
I wanna buy a sony.but it's important to me that i can change focus point on mobile app. can you suggest any model?
You’re awesome man, thank you!
Happy to help!
Thanks a lot. This video is really very helpful.
Play memories mobile was soooo much better. Imaging Edge is garabage in comparison, but at least this video showed me how it works. So thanks for that!
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!
It worked for meee thank youuuuuuuuu
The app is horrendous such a epic fail Sony I’m ashamed
What app should I use
Does the Sony a5100 with kit lens good for full body portrait photography?
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
Thanks for the video tutorial, Jay. I've connected my phone (Samsung Note 10) to my camera (Sony HX99), but all the images transferred via the Imaging Edge Mobile app are coming across in low resolution (around 500Kb), and are clearly stored at higher resolution on the camera itself. I have set the Send to Smartphone Func option to "Original Only", but it isn't working. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions please.
Are you shooting raw quality?
@@Jason_Hermann The camera is set to JPG. I think the problem was that although the camera was set to 'Original Only', I didn't realise that you also have to set Copy Image Size to Original on the Imaging Edge app. This was set to 2M as a default option, but since changing to Original the files sizes for the transferred images are coming across at 6-8MB, which is better than before. I was expecting 18MB, per the camera's spec - is this only for images shot in Raw? Thanks for your advice.
Supposedly and the best I can tell if the camera is set to jpeg and you have the size set too original on camera and in the app, original size Jpeg files are transferred. Raw files are not transferred and instead proxy media is created at a lower 2mp resolution...
@@Jason_Hermann I seem to be getting original file sizes for jpegs transferred under these settings. Thanks again for your help.
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!
Hi ... thank you for you great Tutorial. I can't Download my Videos Recorded in XAVC S on My Sony A7S to my Imaging Edge Mobile but with my Sony RX10 Mark IV i can Download my Videos recorded in XAVC S HD. ... Why is that ? Please
I honestly do not know, sorry.
I use the app all the time for a5100 on a gimbal. I found another app that lets me use touch to focus, a feature the Sony app doesn't offer. I still use the Sony app too, its really useful. I wish they would concentrate on the camera features of the remote instead of the "social media" conveniences. Maybe a Pro version would be good.
Thanks for the comments and what is that other app that allows touch to focus?? I agree, a pro version would be awesome!!
@@Jason_Hermann Its on the android Play Store and name is Camoodoo. Make sure your camera has the very latest Remote app installed from the Sony website.
Why don’t I have a Crtl/ w Smartphone option on my Sony5100?
All the features are not available on all the cameras. Your camera is a bit older these days, so it's very limited with this app unfortunately.
Did this app for some reason limit many functions? I don't have many of these things. Holding to focus doesn't work either. How do you focus using the app?
I don’t have those functions either. How do I get them?
@@catarodriguez2264 I figured out the app focuses automatically when you press the shutter button, however, focus does not work at all if you have set up the camera for back button focus.
Good evening,have you try this app with Off Camera Flash by chance?
Hello,and no I have not.
Is there a timer option in the app?
Yes, in the drive mode settings 10:13
In sharing functionality, can you transfer raw pics to your phone?
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.
Do you have tutorials for Sony NEX-5T? Does Imaging Edge app work with NEX-5T?
top notch instructional vid!!
Thank you :)
can i use this with the sony a7ii? i am trying to see how I can see my screen on my phone
Yes, but with some limitations per the documentation...
@@Jason_Hermann im just trying to use this feature as a screen for my gimbal. i dont have ctrl with smartphone on my a7ii
I'm not sure if that works with the A7 II off the top of my head, sorry. Here is the comparability chart with info from Sony: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/pmm/products.php?area=gb&lang=en
This app has been breaking my heart all week, I have tried everything, double checked, installed, uninstalled. Absolute rubbish by Sony. Spending my hard earned cash on a decent camera but I'm back to hooking up usb leads to my pc,- terrible. I should have stuck with Canon, smooth and problem free wifi transfer of pics from cam to phone. Shocking tech failure
Surely not! What camera, phone and phone app were you trying to connect?
@@kevinrtres Lol what to you mean "surely not!" This is the worst rated app I've ever downloaded off the app store. This has to be the most poorly made app ever to be released by a large company.
recorded with which machine
Thanks for the vid! but it doesn't show control smartphone? i have Ver. 3.20 maybe the camera need a new firmwire?
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).
Hi Jay, how to remove imported pictures from Imaging Edge Mobile App (View) on iPhone?
I'm not 100% sure on the iPhone, but on my Samsung if I go to the settings which is the three dots on the top right of my screen when I have the app open. In there you have a saving destination. That is where the images are being stored... I hope that helps?
@@Jason_Hermann Mayby I have to create Sony account and membership for the App...?
