If the app had options for NDI output it would be the absolute killer monitor App. But it’s possible to use the NDI screen capture together with the app. I should be possible to have a totally clean display option. It’s only the “lock” button left to a totally clean display. If we also had some Remote output like RTMP etc and YouTube, Tik Tok it would be great.

In need of improvement

Fredrik Matheson on

Norway

Technically, the app works. However, the product team has made interface design choices that make the app cumbersome to operate. Changing basic settings such as shutter speed, ISO, etc takes two steps too many. Modifying camera settings is straightforward, but wastes valuable screen space. The controls for altering the aperture are oddly imprecise. A full interface redesign would be beneficial.

Awesome App

Scarlet One on

United States

The app is very convenient and love it for when I don’t want to shoot raw with Atomos Ninja. The features available on it are awesome and even works great for multi cam setups.

Aspect ratios!

Richard D. D. on

United States

Please add the ability to overlay aspect ratios so we can review our footage in the proper format. And custom aspect ratios as well! Just like the cameras. 🙏🏽😌 and is there anyway to improve the resolution being streamed? Update: version 5 improved the resolution to the app. But please add the ability to set aspect ratios!

Needs at least a log assist or luts.

Mcbjj on

United States

False color is great! The zebras are great. The ebility to adjust aperture, and other things without touching the camera while it’s on a gimbal is great! I’m wondering if it’s just because I’m using this with a Sony a7S3 that there are so many limitations. I’m watching all the videos on YouTube and everybody has tons of applications but my A7S3 is not coming up with all of the stuff everybody else has. the most detrimental being, I can only monitor with a log profile when I have the camera in slog3. I need to have Slog assist, at least, and the ability to upload Luts would be even better. There’s also no focus peeking. 🤨

Good but…

Would love to see the ability to import luts for the A7siii!

Works good but!

Song Maker5150 on

Auto focus assist needs to be RED, it’s white or grey and who can see it? It’s focus peaking and it needs to be red - please fix.

Privacy nightmare

thalassicus on

United States

Just charge us a fee for the ability to remote monitor/control our camera, but this app demands full access to every photo on my phone, my location, etc and is a privacy nightmare. Sony hardware is fantastic, but these scammy data harvesting practices after paying thousands for hardware is offensive and tacky. Sony, please shift your strategy before you lose your customer base.

Spotty reliability

Tyhgfd on

United States

Worked the first couple times on my fx3 and then never again. Same problem with fx6 but lasted longer. Don’t depend on it.

Seriously no de-squeeze aspect ratios?

rascal9 on

United States

This app apparently is very stable compared with Monitor+ but seriously no aspect ratios with Monitor & Control? I’m using two anamorphic lenses 1.33x and 1.5x the app has no option to desqueeze? Setting desqueeze through FX30 setting does nothing in the app. Pretty bad. Too bare bones, going back to Monitor+ with a cable instead I guess. Charge subscription or money for the app but do the app right or remove it from the app store.
