I get quite a few questions about Sony Play Memories Camera Apps and the issues always always trace back to the camera apps aren’t up to date. There are a couple ways to update apps on these Sony app-enabled cameras: Sony a7, a7R a7S, a7II, a7RII, a7SII, a6500, a6300, a6000, a5100, RX100 III. Sony Alpha A5100 Mirrorless Digital Camera Capture that crucial moment with ultra-fast autofocusing, 179 AF points and 6 fps. This lightweight camera delivers 24.3MP of detail even in low light, and you can share photos right to your smartphone through built-in Wi-Fi.
Download services have ended for the software below. The successor software for each provides similar features. Image Data Converter To handle RAW data, use Imaging Edge as described above. Remote Camera Control To operate the camera remotely, use Imaging Edge as described above. Music Transfer PlayMemories Home provides the same function. Start PlayMemories Home and select Tools Music Transfer. Wireless Auto Import PlayMemories Home provides the same function.
Start PlayMemories Home and select Preferences Wireless Auto Import. PMB (Picture Motion Browser) To import and view images, use PlayMemories Home as described above.
The working distance is dependent on the WiFi signal strength of the smart device you are using. As for Touch AF, if it’s not active there are three possible causes: 1. When Touch AF isn’t working it usually means the App isn’t up to date.
Touch AF is not available when the camera is set for Back Button AF. If your not certain what Back Button AF is – it’s unlikely you set it up.
AF is not possible with the lens (sorry for stating the obvious but someone once asked me why it didn’t work with Leica lenses.). Brian, do you know how i should proceed to report a bug found with IOS and the A7II?
Or perhaps its not a bug, but a feature?; If AF w/ shutter is turned off in camera it is not possible to use focus in the app on IOS. AF w/ Shutter setting is found under the cog wheel and submenu number 4. As said, turn that setting off and then try to “point to focus” in the app.
In my case it does not re-focus. Instead it seems to re-focus on the previously focused area. Feature or bug?
Or perhaps it only happens to me. Hi Brian, Thank you for your reply i turned off Long Exposure NR, and Auto HDR Off i also turned off Auto HDR inside the APP settings However High ISO NR is greyed out on the menu and i can’t make changes (i think it is because it is set to RAW) I just tried to shoot a RAW+JPEG from the app and it took about 20 secs till the camera finished processing May I ask you how long it takes for youth shoot RAW+JPEG with smart remote? I just wonder if this is how the it works or i do anything wrong from my side Thank you for your help in advance M.

Hi Brian, Thank you very much for your replies, I would appreciate if you can tell me one more thing before i let you go How long delay do you have between each shot if you shoot a RAW & JPEG image with the smart remote app without saving it to the phone?? The reason i am asking is because I spoke to Sony Support and every agent says something else, some say that it is normal to have 15-20 secs delay and some say that not, so I would like to hear an actual users experience Thanks a lot for all your help. Hello, I have mostly used usb connection to operate sonya7s for various deep sky astro applications and downloaded raw photos to my pc. I have now started to install wireless apps as you describe. Bulb mode is critical of course but also to transmit wirelessly the raw photos to destination on computer (not just jpg). I am trying to connect smartphone to computer to get photos to computer.
Can you comment because only if i can get the raw data to pc easily like i would consider using the wireless apps. One of my main reasons for potentially abandoning my wired usb transfer is the usb wire distance of about 25 ft and occasional image transfer losses. I think this will be less of a problem if i manage to make it work wireless approach.
