Imaging Edge Mobile is a powerful companion application designed to seamlessly connect your Sony camera with a smartphone or tablet. It enables easy transfer of images and videos, remote camera control, location data recording, and the ability to save and apply camera settings. Together, these features streamline your workflow and enhance your photography and videography experience.
Transfer Images and Videos to Your Smartphone
Imaging Edge Mobile allows you to quickly and conveniently transfer photos and videos from your camera to your smartphone or tablet. Both images and video files can be transferred, making it easy to manage and share your content.
With the automatic background transfer function, images are sent to your smartphone as soon as they are captured, eliminating the need to manually select and transfer files after shooting. This feature imports images in a 2MP size and is supported by selected camera models.
The app also supports the transfer of high bit rate video files, including 4K videos, depending on the camera and smartphone used. Additionally, you can browse and transfer images stored in your camera directly from your smartphone even when the camera is powered off (supported models only).
Once transferred, your high-quality photos and videos can be instantly shared on social media platforms or sent via email, enabling fast and effortless content sharing.
Remote Shooting Using Your Smartphone
Imaging Edge Mobile enables remote photo and video capture using your smartphone as a controller. You can view a live feed from the camera on your smartphone screen while shooting, allowing for precise framing and timing.
This feature is particularly useful for situations where touching the camera could cause blur or vibration, such as long-exposure photography, night scenes, flowing water shots, or macro photography. For cameras that support PlayMemories Camera Apps, the "Smart Remote Control" in-camera app must be installed in advance to use this function.
Record and Add Location Information
The app can add location information to your images using GPS data acquired from your smartphone. For cameras equipped with a location information linkage function, this data is automatically added to images captured by the camera.
Even if your camera does not support direct location linkage, location information can still be added to photos saved on your smartphone during remote shooting. This helps you accurately document where your photos were taken and organize them more effectively.
Save and Apply Camera Settings
Imaging Edge Mobile allows you to save up to 20 different camera setting configurations within the app. These saved settings can later be applied to a compatible camera, making it easy to switch between preferred shooting setups.
This feature is supported only on cameras with the same model name, and availability varies depending on the camera model.
