Shutter - Sony Camera Remote

Update: After writing my initial review, the developer had an update which made focus bracketing a bit smoother compared to before. Also, they reached out to me and offered a refund, in addition to their willingness to fix the issues (I already sent them the log files). Very good developer indeed. Will message them again to give them my suggestions for new features. Thanks Grzegorz. ——— Original review: Focus bracketing is very buggy and mostly unusable. Very, very slow with the Sony 28-60mm and doesn’t work with other lenses like the Sony 16-35mm f4 PZ. It keeps trying to focus but doesn’t capture the photos. Please fix it. My camera is the a7c.

This app works great on my Sony SrV. Never have to use my intervalometer/receiver I have on hand

This app does what it’s name says it does. Remote control of Sony. However, personal wish, I could transfer photos to iPhone at some point. Like the 7 day trial!!!

separate option for a remote and secondary screen in photos. Better option than the selfie of a stick attached to your iPhone. Also, the ability to transfer to your iPad is a major plus. Ability to make controls in on photos also fantastic. Highly recommend.

Super slow and on par with Sony’s remote app in terms of connectivity and speed performance. Worked great initially but became worse within weeks. Requires more patience than I have left. If there’s something I’m doing wrong with a sort of setting compatibility, I’d love to know. This was very useful when it was more reliable. I’d give it another star if it was just 30% better and reliable half of the time I needed it.

The Shutter app was pivotal to my photography of the total solar eclipse this week with my Sony a6700 camera. The camera is capable of bracketing nine stops per second, but the intervalometer mode in the app allowed me to do so for 20-30 seconds straight at the pivotal moment when totality began and again when it ended to capture Bailey’s Beads and the Diamond Ring Effect. Not only was I able to get all these exposures, but I was able to begin each sequence with a single tap on my phone: I was able to watch and appreciate the entire event without even touching the camera, which was connected to a tracking mount in a hard-to-reach position.

It’s very good app. I have Zv e10

I’ve spent close to an hour trying different approaches and still nothing. Not worth paying for something that will not work.

Wanted remote shutter, but it does more than that. And it does it on my phone, watch and iPad. Pretty happy with it, though I still have to play with it some to use more of what it offers.

Sony is discontinuing Playmemories. So I was quite surprised to be told BEFORE I could use or activate Shutter I had to pay $14 for a PlayMemories account. Can you please advise.
