Just a heads up in case someone has trouble in accessing their FTP server and gets the "Failed to connect to an ftp server" message no matter the setting in the camera or the server. In my a7IV I had this issue from day 1 while trying to connect to win 11 ftp server. I tried all sort of things like FileZilla, IIS hosted ftp etc. All my local network devices worked perfectly fine either as a client or a server. My camera just refused to cooperate until I tried to connect to my phone's hotspot and it worked. That was a pointer to the type of WiFi connection. It turns out that for any other device I knew the band and the WPA protocol but Sony doesn't give any information about what my camera uses. Some trial and error and I ended up changing my WiFi setting from WPA2 Personal + AES to WPA/WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES. For some reason this works only when I am connected using the 2.4Ghz band. If I try the same setting and 5Ghz it still fails, not sure why yet. In general, when you can't connect to the FTP server, also check your router's WiFi settings before giving up!

Pay attention viewers; pop quiz at end of video😁. Kidding asside, Mike, kudos for tackling this complex subject, rarely covered in YT. My guess is that this is the most technically challenging tutorial you’ve ever done.👍👍👍 This episode has got to be ripe for PetaPixel type coverage. (Be honest, you pre-planted that photo on your smartphone ahead of time, didn’t you😁.) Wi-fi signal stability a key factor, as you noted; tip - if your smartphone/tablet is set to auto-reconnect to a given WI-FI source (like home router) disabling the auto-connect (at least for cam file attempts) should help the stability. Feature should be a boon for photojournalists who need quick, in-field pic uploads. Cam makers would be wise to build in smartphone-like features so that something like “e-mail photo(s) now” could be enabled. Cheers!
@mikesphotography3 жыл бұрын
Haha!! Thanks dude, it was a fun one to do and I have been meaning to make it for a while...it is a really good feature for anyone really who wants to quickly get their images to their phone. If I take a shot I like and it looks good on the back of the cam, I'll quickly send it across and I can edit the RAW file right in the lightroom app...then upload to instagram or which even social site I am using. Much quicker than the app. Good point about the wifi. That would kick out the camera if it was too far away I suppose...🤔 I'm wondering how long it will be before cameras come with a sim port to be able to get photos straight up to social, an FTP or something like that. 👍👍

Hi again, Your video was excellent, fancy a follow up on problems with Static & Dynamic IP addresses. When you went walkabout with your phone and created a hotspot, did you make any changes to your ftp addresses. Both myself and others are finding that when setting a hotspot in different locations, the IP address sometimes changes and we can't connect. I believe you can set a static address to stop this problem but not sure if it causes other problems. It would be very helpful if you could investigate this and perhaps let us know how you are Configuring the IP addresses, auto or Manual

Is there an easy way to transfer Raw files from A7Rii to my android phone or tablet? A7rii does not have FTP I believe.

This tutorial will work for me with SONY A7R3?

If the latest firmware gives you the FTP option in the menus, then yes. 👍

Is is possible to do with without any internet connection? I would like to just connect the camera (a7r5) to the iPad, without any other network involved. Thanks!

Looks like the answer is "no".

You should be able to if your ipad has the option to set up a hotspot. Then it will use the wifi that is created as the hotspot and connect to that.

Hi Mike, hot it all working at last, is there any way to see your images come in to a full screen on the ipad as you shoot them basically as you would see on a tethered setup in capture one etc
@mikesphotography2 жыл бұрын
Hey Mike, I'm not sure about that. That would be a great function but I think that would come down to the app in the ipad ... and I don't think there is one that would do that at the moment.

Hi great tutorial, does it work for the A7R3a
@mikesphotography11 ай бұрын
It should do. As long as you have the FTP option in the menu.

I'd previously said I wouldn't bother to update my FW, but I may have been convinced.... Maybe.... Just maybe...... I'd rather they'd used the spare memory to upgrade the phone connectivity.... Then started rebuilding the phone app from scratch! I'd love a good 3rd party app if it worked better.

The connection drops constantly. I've been playing with this since the update. It works okay, sometimes.

Thanks Paul, I've found it to be more reliable than the app but I had to have it set to auto transfer on and keep my phone in my front pocket. But it seems like Hank hasn't enjoyed the experience so much... Thanks for watching 👍

Hi! Is it possible with an a6400?
@giannis_chatzip3 жыл бұрын
i followed all the steps and the photos on my phone gallery are somewhat there but they cant be loaded so i cant see them. is there any quick tip for that? * they are visible in lightroom mobile app although :p
@mikesphotography3 жыл бұрын
That is because they are raw files. The gallery app can't read RAW files, so you would have to process them in lightroom and export them as Jpegs. the other way to do it is to set the file type to jpeg in the FTP transfer Function menu page 3. Thanks for watching 😁👍

Hey, my FTP-Function is greyed out, what can i do?
@mikesphotography2 жыл бұрын
Have you got wifi or bluetooth turned off? or the camera set to airplane mode? These will normally grey out the FTP function.
