SONY IMAGING EDGE MOBILE - How to FILM YOURSELF | Sony A7iii A7Riii

[@KennethYimHomes]

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!!

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're very welcome! Yes, that's correct, I've found that option turned on doesn't work.

[@realtorhectorreyes9785]

Thanks so much, just got my A7iii and I'm loving it.

I tried your method but still no connection with my camera and my iPhone, but thanks for the tip. Let’s hope Sony can come with a better app soon

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.

What is that gorgeous lens you're using - I assume for your a7iii

[@PhillipSkraba]

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

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.

[@scottabergermd]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

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.

[@scottabergermd]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@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...

[@216kingDavid1]

This app and the PlayMemories app are trash as hell

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yes, they both have a lot of bugs that Sony could work on making a little more stable. I use this app to film myself and to take photos of myself when no one else is around to help me with testing gear. Most of the time it works, it's a little slow and there are quite a few functions such as touch to focus and playback that are missing. Let's hope Sony will continue to work on these issues.

[@nerdMike]

@@PhillipSkraba no touch af? Sad but fortunately I think with face detection works 99% fine than others brand and you can put the product in front and automatically focus on it, right? Seems to help either.

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 ?

[@woseIl]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

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!

[@Latvijasfans]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

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.

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...

[@eduardoribeiro383]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

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.

[@morphedrenegade]

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]

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.

You're welcome, have lots of fun with it!

[@UrFavouriteGoalie]

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]

Really? I had mine working the other day. It can be a pain, and a tad frustrating, but it'll work in the end.

[@plantxvibe9571]

Paid -Shutter for all sony cameras with wifi Free- (monitor +) it works on 2019 and above cameras

[@PhillipSkraba]

Shutter and Camrote are good, Monitor + is cool but like you stated won’t work with the A7III, hopefully they’ll drop an update for that.

[@plantxvibe9571]

@@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

[@AlmissaGaming]

how do i connect it to pc for streaming ?

[@PhillipSkraba]

You would need to check out my latest film on Imaging Edge Webcam.

[@dudemyster20]

Can you view the pictures you've taken on the smartphone, without storing them on your phone ?

[@MrJuanduenas]

Nice! I have been filming is a very tight space. Seeing the scene on the cam has been a pain in my neck. Now I don't need to bring a monitor.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yes, this is really helpful! I use it when I just don't have room to pack the monitor. Let's hope Sony keeps dropping updates for it.

[@perfectyasai7868]

Hi Phillip, good video. I'm having some problems with my Imaging Edge app and a7riii right now, as in M mode, all my shutter, aperture, iso options are grayed out, and AF is not working when I take pictures. Have you seen this issue before and any suggestions?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thank you. In the app, have you tried turning off the option "connect w/ camera via access point"? I've seen that make problems when using that app correctly.

[@nerdMike]

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]

Sure, you can use the app to watch what you're filming and taking photos of in real time.

[@nerdMike]

@@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.

[@Adrian_Mason]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

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!

[@iloverugby4ever]

There is zoom control with zoom powered lenses at least in my a6000

[@r12rtpilot]

Great video, but I cannot sync Imagining Edge with my Samsung S21 Ultra 5 G

[@PhillipSkraba]

It’s not easy, it takes me sometimes a few tries. I was using it today outside and must have tried 10 times before it synced! Keep on trying 👌🏻

[@r12rtpilot]

@@PhillipSkraba I will keep trying, LOL

[@jenniferforemanphoto]

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

That is very odd, did you follow all my instructions here? It takes me sometimes 10 times to connect, quite a frustrating app sometimes.

[@joeneltorremoro2892]

Hi, how to adjust focus using the phone? Thanks!

[@PhillipSkraba]

Joenel Torremoro I’m afraid this option is not available in the app. Yes, I know, it’s ridiculous they can’t add it 🙈

[@keyun211]

@Joenel Torremoro it is not available, i tried and there is no option. Without this option, this app is junk. :-(

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@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!

[@keyun211]

@@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..

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@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??

[@lesjones471]

Dear Phillip, I Got My New Sony A7R IV This Monday Just Gone, Imaging Edge Mobile Installed On My Galaxy S10+, I Wish Sony Would Do Like The Samsung Is Have A Switch In The App Which Says NFC Which Is So Simple, Anyway Sony Camera Works With The Phone, Will Have To Test It Under Conditions To See If The Signal Fails, If It Works It Will Be A Good Way To Have A Lightweight Monitor & Storage. Regards Les Jones

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi Lee! That's a mighty good camera you got there! You can wirelessly tether that to a laptop, which is awesome! I do not have the patience to connect via NFC, so I don't use it as it causes me to have Tourettes. It is fantastic when it works, but when it doesn't, well, I'd love Sony to do some more work on this app!

[@nandocanton]

Achei que eu estava fazendo errado, realmente não tem como fazer foco no touch do celular ! Triste.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Isso é correto, de jeito nenhum, é frustrante!

[@logantenfingers5293]

Will it work with my IPad Pro as well?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Sure, if the app is available for download, which they usually are, then it should work no problem. If it's an iPhone only app, then there is always a fullscreen button on the bottom left of the screen to enlarge the app to iPad size. I'll try it out on my iPad when I get home, if you beat me to it, let me know if you managed to get it to work.

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.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Apparently the latest update does let you do that, yes. I haven't tested it out though.

Is there any way to put a LUT on it? It would be helpful when recording in S-Log3. The display assist doesn't work outside of the camera.

I'm afraid not, no. Would be cool for Sony to put some more work into this app!

[@_Uqie]

Now sony a6000 cant record videos in sonyimaging edge, you have trik ?

I'm afraid not, it can only shoot photos. You need a fresher model for it to work with video preview.
