Thank you for the information. I really appreciate the fact that you get right to point and give an example and walk through each settings and abilities. Excellent!

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're welcome! I do my best to get straight to the point, not easy, especially if you like talking 😂

[@fistsup5700]

Thanks for this. I used Capture 1 for a month or so and couldn't justify the price. This super handy. Installed it on my iMac and my MacBook Air. I use manual lenses and this helps with the focus previewing.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yes, I have used Capture One for many years, and the price of updating is really getting on my nerves. It's a fantastic program and it's very powerful, but it's really expensive, I'm guessing that because the pros that use it get paid in gold, so for them it's not that bad. Sony Imaging Edge desktop is a great program, it works really well, and for manual lenses it's a blast. I'm happy I could help you 🔥

Been using Sony Imaging Edge for quite some time. I do have Capture One for Sony but rarely use it. I use Affinity Photo for working on my photos. No subscriptions required or high priced standalone like Capture One.

[@PhillipSkraba]

It's a great program, no where near as good as Capture One, but it does what it needs to simply. I'll take a look at that!

[@onegreenev]

@@PhillipSkraba Imaging Edge is free and does a great job but very minimal and no retouching and Affinity is very low cost without subscription that will do pretty much everything. For those of us that can't justify the subscription cost because we just don't do enough it is a great alternative. I hated from the beginning when Adobe went subscription on everyone.

I sometimes want to use the live view as a monitor to watch when doing macro video makeup application on myself. However the live view is flipped so it gets difficult to use it as a mirror of sorts because the motion is in the opposite direction. Is there any setting to flip the live view?

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're welcome! I had to connect my camera, check if there were any new updates and see if they added a horizontal flip option, but I'm afraid they haven't, which is a shame as it's quite a simple need. Let's hope they drop an update for this option in the future. Have a great end of year Lisa!

[@BECHEEKHA]

is there any wireless alternative?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Sure, for the A7S III, or Tether tools has wireless options, they are expensive. Cable is the best route and also the most stable.

You're welcome! Well, you can connect your Sony to your computer with whatever cable you need, I use a Macbook Pro where there are only usb-c connections, and the a7iii has a usb-c connection so I make use of that, but you can connect it via usb to usb multi I believe, as long as it connects it should work.

[@vanessakauffmann5184]

Thanks a bunch. I have a weird thing going on . When I shoot tethered, the shots appear briefly on the screen, but the latest image only lasts a second or two before the screen defaults back to the first image shot in the session. For portrait sessions, when the client is adjusting poses etc., this is frustrating because I have to walk back to the screen and click back on the latest image for every shot. Help!!

Hi! No, I'm afraid there is no way to record what you see on your camera screen using this app. I haven't done that before but I think people do that using monitors like the Atomos Ninja V, or you can even use your smartphone and film the inside of your viewfinder, that works too.

And I was testing the sony one, the pictures go straight to the computer, but is there a way to do this with the videos as well? - Record it, watch it, discard or keep it without have to unplug the USB and all?

[@MachineLearningJack]

hey Philip! do you know how I could possibly both mirror the camera screen and send files to my laptop? so I can record a movie and see it a moment later on my laptop? it looks like sending files is blocked during tethering, and I have to go to the camera, change settings, send files and then see the video. very inefficient for tests. do you know any workaround? I do appreciate your involvement in answering all of the questions! Thank you and keep going! [subscribed] :)

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hey Kuba, well, this is a problem. For photos, sure, you can tether them straight to the computer, or you can tether them to the computer and save them on the SD card having the preview on a laptop screen. When it comes to video, I'm afraid you can only save onto the SD card, there is no way of saving the video onto the computer via tethering, however, if you need just a preview, you can always press record screen on a Mac, or download a similar program on a pc. Apart from recording the screen I'm not aware of any possibility to transfer full res video to the computer I'm afraid. Thank You for the sub, I really appreciate that!

Does Sony Imaging Edge software have the option to take still photos from video recorded from a camera that works with said software?

Thanks so much for your time.

[@PhillipSkraba]

You can have a live video feed, sure, and you can use Imaging Edge to record but only to your memory card, not to the actual laptop. If I need to pull frames from video I use Final Cut Pro X, I find that to be the easiest way.

[@AlbertPalmer]

[@Ignacioloncon]

Hi Albert, I had the same issue with my a7iii, but i found the solution for this: just go to your camera, Menú, photo settings (1), pag. 7, Pre-AF, and turn it ON. You’ll find this very annoying if you are not using the program, so I turn it ON only when needed. :)

[@zoomiq7522]

I am looking to use this software to view video on a Mac display while I'm recording video with a Sony A7r IV. Will that work? I've considered buying something like Black Magic or Magewell, but if this software does it without the need for any other hardware, that would be awesome. Please advise.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yes, that would work. You would only be able to record onto the memory card though, not onto the computer. I recommend testing this before hand, just so you know how everything works. Thanks for dropping by 🔥

[@AndreasWiget]

Hi Phillip, thanks for that video. My question is the following. When doing remote video recording, the footage only gets saved on the card. But is there a way to import the footage while staying in PC Remote and not changing to Mass Storage under USB Connections? This is a real hinderance when recording oneself for video podcasts. Canon is definitely much simpler regarding this issue. Thanks.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi Andreas, I'm afraid not. For photos, sure, it'll save to the card and computer, but for video, only to the memory card. The only way around is to get a screen recorder maybe, Apple has one built in, I'm not sure about Windows.

[@AndreasWiget]

@@PhillipSkraba Thanks Phillip for your fast answer. I hope Sony will fix this issue in the future. Screen recording would lead to a loss of video quality and resolution.
