For those having trouble with the 'Touch To Focus', I believe this functionality is dependant on your mobile device (and possibly OS version of that device). I tried this functionality on my Samsung Android Tablet (Android version 10) and the 'touch to focus' functionality wasn't there - in fact I couldn't even get the app to run in 'video mode' at all (it was stuck on 'photo mode', even though I was on video mode in the actual A7SIII). But then I tried the app on my iPhone x (14.4 software version) and the video mode works perfectly WITH touch to focus (just like in Javier's video). So from my experience at least, the touch to focus works on iOS devices, not Android. (on my devices at least). BTW Thanks for this excellent video Javier!
I was so surprised when I tapped my phone and saw it happen the first time..."wait a minute, did it just...I think it just...no...it just did! YEahhhhh!" (my thought process)
Thank you... I had seen a lot of videos that promised to deal with this subject and could not help me connect... Your explanations were so clear that I managed to connect easily in the first attempt... Thanks a ton

hi how are you I'm interested in the way how you make zoom in the thumbnail at 0:19 can you please make explain in a video in this video czcams.com/video/iWdO3KQEQbM/video.html
Subscribed! Watch my videos get better now that I've found someone I can actually learn from. Don't know why this guys teaching style is so much better to me
finally, I succeeded - thank you very much for your help and this step-by-step video. The third method was what actually helped. And resetting mobile data, Bluetooth and wifi also was the trigger that solved the problem
Any ideas on how to turn off the "always send picture to smartphone" option? I'd rather shoot 100 images and then go choose the best 5-10 for transfer, than needing to go back and delete 95 images after.
I just figured it out on my A7ii. I know your cameras are more advanced and you've switched. But just in case you do still use your Sony, simply go to your menu on the Imaging Edge app and turn "save options" to off. It will save directly to the memory card.
This was super informative. Unfortunately mine won't connect. It keeps aborting the operation. But i learned a lot from this video. Just wish it worked for me. Thank you for this. I enjoyed the set up. This is a great video.
Not sure if I'm missing something but my Sony A6500 has a different menu format ("Wireless" not "Network"). It doesn't seem to have a Control with Smartphone option. Does anyone know if there's a different way to connect to the Imaging Edge App?
*When I press connection to get the wifi SSID it just sits in Wi-Fi Standby. QR code same problem, says QR not recognised like the SSID is blank as I have looked at the wifi details also and it shows blank except for Mac address. I did a firmware update too and nothing again*
It looks a bit complicated, compared to my previous Canon app. Are there any other apps? I'm a bit scared off by the rating of Sony Imaging Edge in the Play Market (1,9*)
And now I know why the rating of the app is so low. I downloaded the app, connected it to the camera, took an image via my Android phone (focusing did not work), and after I reviewed the image in the camera, the phone completely stopped working. I can't do anything on my phone and open any app for 5 minutes now - I will have to restart the phone. :(
Thank you for the video, but the app is truly horrible. Does not focus in picture mode. The only way to use it is with manual mode, but I actually wanted to use it to shoot myself from far away. Completely useless.
Hey there. Can you please confirm that touch focus is still working for you on the A7SIII? Mine used to work just like yours but now I can't get it to work. Talking to a sony rep said touch focus was never available for the A7SIII, but this is proof that it does or did work at some point.
I'm trying to use the app with the a7siii but every time I switch the camera to movie mode I receive a "Remote operation unavailable. Check the camera." but I'm still able to use the app in camera mode, however touch to focus doesn't work on the app. Any ideas?
This was great. As someone that uses RavenEye with the DJI RS2 I was wondering how much more things I could do from my phone. How stable is the connection? Any “touch to track”? (A7SIII)
QR code never worked. NFC finally worked after like 5 tries. PITA I found. Now, it connects but while I can focus, I get no red dot in the circle and can't take a pic! For me, it's been anything but fast and simple to set up and use.
This video is really informative thank you! Just a question, how far or how distant can you go with the phone from the camera to control it? I do landscapes and sometimes I want to be in the frame. This app would be a great solution if I can remote control my camera with my phone at a long distance.
My experience with other wireless programs/camera models (canon 80d) is the range limitation is in the wireless protocol... whatever your wireless range from phone to router will be the same as the ad hoc connection between phone to camera. I've increased my range with other camera brands by having a portable battery powered router as the in between device (portable network) and this work around increased my range by 2 fold. (my Sony fx3 is new to me which is why I'm here learning Sony stuff) - hope this helps
Is there a way to preview and select if you wanna keep the videos after recording? I have an old Canon and just switched to a Sony ZVE-10. And on Canon, I had the Canon software where i could control the camera to focus, shoot and record as well. And I was testing the sony one, the pictures go straight to the computer, but is there a way to do this with the videos as well? - Record it, watch it, discard or keep it without have to unplug the USB and all?
Is it possible to directly make the photo after taping the screen to focus? If I'm doing pictures of testpieces for braking tests and I the camera there does that. I like the workflow with that because the pictures don't have to be really amazing but you need a lot of pictures.
I'm thinking about buying the a6700 and wondering about geotagging. Looks like the only way to achieve this is through this process of linking to my iPhone. But I don't necessarily want to control the camera, just use the iPhone to capture the GPS location of the photos I take. Is that possible?
Hi, thanks for the video, I want to ask you something: I have a A6600 and when I use the img app in video, the focus tap in my iPhone it doesn't work, do you have some idea?
Not sure if the touch focus question has been answered below. It will only work in photo mode with certain focus points. I use tracking expandable spot.
Is that possible to use my Xperia 1 II smartphone as a Sony A7 III monitor (instead of camera 3'' LCD screen) when connected by USB cable (or HDMI cable) rather that Wi-Fi?
Why does Video Recording dosent be stored on sd card directly?Is there any way to control recording stop and go with remote control but to be stored directly on memory card??
Sony A7M3 when using imaging edge, when my camera is connected to my phone the pictures get put onto the phone immediately, by passing the camera memory completely , I want my pictures to be saved on the SD card on the camera not onto my phone, but I can't seem to stop it from doing that?
Hi: I have an chinese version a7c but can not change the language because it has not that option. If I pair my Android with my a7c with this sony mobile app , the phone will show in english or chinese? Thanks in advance
I just wished the exposure meter [-2.+2] would show up In the display of the phone . That would be a big plus!!! I am very surprised with how very little latency lag it has. This app saved my ass in a shoot. I did forget my mars 400s and the app saved the day lol
On the a7IV it asks me to use 'some other app to control your camera' Links me to Creators' App where I must create a Sony account. Is there any other way?
Seems like Sony have dropped app support for the A7iii, mine just won't connect and when I eventually manage to get it to work a message pops up saying the camera isn't supported.

but just for video! I want it for pictures as well
Re: FOCUS IN PHOTO MODE - any luck with being able to pull focus from phone? Or still only available in video mode?
It's so nice they added the tap to focus!!! I have wanted that feature for a LONG time
I was so surprised when I tapped my phone and saw it happen the first time..."wait a minute, did it just...I think it just...no...it just did! YEahhhhh!" (my thought process)
Huh, I just updated but it’s not working for me on the A7SIII. Any settings that have to be in place?
Not working anymore?
Thank you for making a video that gets to the point of the subject. Super helpful and easy to follow.
This is one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen
Thank you... I had seen a lot of videos that promised to deal with this subject and could not help me connect... Your explanations were so clear that I managed to connect easily in the first attempt... Thanks a ton

how about Sonly a58 any solution ?
Subscribed! Watch my videos get better now that I've found someone I can actually learn from. Don't know why this guys teaching style is so much better to me
I love that blueish/greenish background. It's sort of a variation of the teal/orange coloring, but more interesting.
Thanks for this video but my on/off access is disable!
could you help me please?
finally, I succeeded - thank you very much for your help and this step-by-step video.
The third method was what actually helped.
And resetting mobile data, Bluetooth and wifi also was the trigger that solved the problem
Skipped the docs & watched this. It works and is truly awesome!
I don't have the function crtl with smartphone on my sony alpha II. so how can i do it here?
Did you ever find out?

Great video. Question, does this work with the Sony A 7ii? Thanks!
Did you ever find out?
Can you wire the phone to the camera for a better connection?
Not sure if I'm missing something but my Sony A6500 has a different menu format ("Wireless" not "Network"). It doesn't seem to have a Control with Smartphone option. Does anyone know if there's a different way to connect to the Imaging Edge App?
Hey Can i use it on my a7 ii
Did you find out?
sir i cant find ctrl /w smartphone option in A7rii. please help
same, it’s always a hastle trying to connect.
Super helpful, just got this set up on my a6600. Pretty cool.
thank you! Excellent video and I like your presentation style. I am subscribing!
Has anyone managed to wok out touch screen focus on the app for photo mode yet? As on 11th May 2021 it still doesnt work as far as I can see.
Can we do the live stream on a mobile phone and use the sony camera as a webcam? Just as we can do on desktop? I think no.
I was hoping to do just this. Possible or no?
@@jasewilliams14 so far seems live no. Or at least I have not figured it out yet.
The real brand ambassadors of Nepal, salute.
this is what i've been searching for ! btw, if you start recording, does the display remain or not?
anyway Thank You for this golden video !
thank u sir!

Any ideas as what’s the camera’s power draw or how long does the battery last using this on a7s3 or fx3? Thanks!!!

Bummer. So just to be clear, I can't tap to focus on my Sony a7iii? (In picture OR video mode?)
Thanks. It's there a way to transfer a photo from the a7s3 to Android directly?
thanks for the video! is there a way to use this feature without WIFI but on Bluetooth or mobile data?
That's great! very helpful still in 2021
This was very helpful!! Thank you!!
This was great. As someone that uses RavenEye with the DJI RS2 I was wondering how much more things I could do from my phone. How stable is the connection? Any “touch to track”? (A7SIII)
Do you actullay need wifi in order to succesfully operate remotely through your phone? Like example shoothing solo outside by yourself?
QR code never worked. NFC finally worked after like 5 tries. PITA I found. Now, it connects but while I can focus, I get no red dot in the circle and can't take a pic! For me, it's been anything but fast and simple to set up and use.
Great vid. Finally some uploading an A7sIII vid for the rest of us. 😂 keep’m come’n bro

Hi Javier, may I ask you something, is it possible to flick through your photos by your phone while they are still on the camera? Thanks. Jeroen
Does this work with the A7? If not could you recommend one that does? Thank you for any suggestions.
Good job!! Subbed!!!
Is there a way to preview and select if you wanna keep the videos after recording?

Thanks I was having trouble with the qr code to work. When you should me the manual way to log in using the C4 button it worked. Thank you.
Omg ! It worked. Thank you!
Very thorough and fun. Thanks 😊🙏🏼

Hey man thank you so much, just hit the like 10 X
Great video👍 .How do I get gps co-ordinates on the Sony A7S iii?
I did the same on iPad but i can not operate on the iPad screen.
Thank you for the video man,
Does the app have anamorphic guide or can I make custom guide?
great video, realy clear! What if you don't have wifi but mobile data connection? It doesn't seem to connect in my case
This will work wonders when I need to stop the camera and I have dough on my hands.
Hey Chef, big fan :)
I guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new series online?
Hey guys, is there any way to generate proper live time codes by scanning live QR cods on any Sony apps? like there are in GoPro cameras?
Does this work on the A7II?
Did you ever find out?
Does this also work with the iPad Pro?
Amazing, gonna try it!
Very helpful thanks, works good enough on my A7II all I want to do is send a few pics over to the phone. Haven't tried the other features yet.
Can you use your phone as a monitor with the a7ii ?
@@rumpelstiltskin07 Can't remember sold it to a friend a long time ago.
hey javier,
do you know why the son ya7siii's screen doesn't pop out all the way?
it like stops before being fully straight
Is it possible to live-stream using the Sony a7siii from a phone? I can only get it to work on a desktop so far.
Can this work to a7II? Cuz I have been trying to do this but still don't get it!
Thank you🔥

What’s the difference between Sony CBM and imaging edge app?
will this work with my old A9?
Thank you
This is cool!
Any idea how to make the monitor view full screen without the camera menu options showing?
Hey... thanks for the video.
Is it possible to connect my RX10 M4 to my Samsung S8 like this..?
Hi: I have an chinese version a7c but can not change the language because it has not that option. If I pair my Android with my a7c with this sony mobile app , the phone will show in english or chinese? Thanks in advance

Not working in a7ii?
thank you!
On the a7IV it asks me to use 'some other app to control your camera' Links me to Creators' App where I must create a Sony account. Is there any other way?
Where the video will be saved? In the camera storage or the phone?
I am using Sony a7iii which has much less options you show us, correct? Please confirm.
Will this work with my Sony hx400v camera
Just a question: it works just if connected to the same wi-fi network, right? Not working outdoor, correct?
The camera creates its own network that you need to connect from the phone. So it does work outdoors
hey, sony a7s3 here - picture mode tap to focus works. using android phone so maybe its IOS issue?
Ooo good to hear!
Does it work on the A37?
Seems like Sony have dropped app support for the A7iii, mine just won't connect and when I eventually manage to get it to work a message pops up saying the camera isn't supported.
Does anyone know if this PULL FOCUS also works with the FX3?
Dose this controls work with Sony A7R mark II....?
How is the delay from S3!? Same as M3?
I double check it only can transfer photos at the same time. So how to transfer videos directly?
