- This is a follow up video I did to how to connect your camera to your smartphone.
This time learn how to connect your Sony camera to your computer using the Sony Imaging Edge app.
This is really great to able to monitor your camera when you don’t have a flip screen. And unlike the phone app, you get way more settings and controls

Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
It's like mkbhd never existed in your universe!
Why the fuck the fact that he is a black guy is important?! People these days.
Thank creative tech lab btw!
@@christianclavecin I’m glad hes black
@@christianclavecin as a black person I like it
Thankyou! I have been unable to connect my Alpha a7iii to my lap top but thanks to your video I have achieved that. Get a job with Sony writing their manuals/instructions. Thanks again
LOL! Glad it helped!
Thanks mate. This was a journey but now everything works :) Keep making these as they obviously help!

@@CreativeTechLab hello... i got a sony ax53 camera (handycam) in menu i dont find the pc remote (only got the AUTO, MASS STORAGE, MTP) ...i dont find how to connect it with the software wich i got instaled all good no errors .... but when i connect to usb always it pop the mass storage .... any help pls ? ....
@@ev-ezaye3580 Sure didn't. In the video I searched google to find it. I expected ppl to do the same.
Thanks tho
@@CreativeTechLab Well no probs, the only reason I mentioned it is because you categorically stated you'd do so
2 years old video and today has helped me out. Thanks you got my sub
Glad to hear it!
Thank you, amigo! You’ve saved lots of my money avoiding of buying extra devices
Glad I could help
Thank you very much! I searched for it in the network settings for 10 minutes!
Glad I could help
At first i thought it didn’t work but after some fixing in my Sony 6300 it is perfectly running keep making lots of videos 👍
Great to hear!
This was the only vid that got to the point and made it all happen ta
👊🏾
Heeey it was really easy and quick instruction ! Thanks a lot! I have little issue once I connected the camera to pc ( I use sony a6000) all I can see is just the right bar to edit, unfortunately, I can not see the preview from the camera which supposed to be on the left from the bar as it is on your video :( do you have any idea where the issue is coming from. I appreciate any answer. thanks a lot
Hi thanks for watching. Different cameras supports different features of the the app depending on their release date. You can see a full list of what your camera supports on the Sony site here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount
I have the same issue! Were you able to fix it?
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Much appreciated!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
"...and mashup those buttons"?! Subbed instantly lol
lol! big up!
Thank you so much for this Creative Tech Labs! 👊
👊🏾
Very helpful video, I am just facing this one issue, I am able to view the video on my laptop but I am not able to save the video on my laptop. I get a notification saying ' Recorded video will be saved on the memory card'. I need it to be saved on my laptop. What changes are needed? This has happened on both, MacBook and Windows.
Hi thanks for watching. The Imagind Edge app doesn't save to the computer feature that I know of. You would still need to record to the SD card of the camera and then transfer the file over after recording.
I used to have the imaging app on my old Mac.. a good reminder to put it on my new one.. thanks Leo.. another fine video.
Thanks Gilbert! It's a good option for if you don't have a monitor.
Love the vibes of your videos. So chilled but informative.
Your RX100 vii videos are real helpful, always reference them when going to record anything.
Respect, thank you! Glad to hear you like the vids
WOWWWWWW I never knew I could do this with my camera!!!
👊🏾
Very good video. Sometimes I forgot how to setup my Sony camera and I review your tutorial to remember me. Thanks, very helpful.
Great to hear!
I Really Enjoy your video. You speak clearly and easy to follow. Thanks mate. Greeting From Bali Island
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!! You helped me figure this out in less than 5 mins
Glad I could help!
Dude your video quality is nuts!!
Thanks!
Thanks for video! I was struggling so hard to even get my PC to notice my camera is connected 😂😂
Glad I could help!
Loved this video! Very informative. My camera is connecting but it’s just showing a loading circle on the remote sony app. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. What camera are you using?
@@CreativeTechLab it’s a sony alpha 6000.
Thank You soooo much! I love how informative this video is and is exactly to the point! Is everything I needed!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much. Your instructions were easy and I managed to tether my sony a6400!! Tomorrow will be a much easier filming day for me!!
Glad it helped!
most helpful video! thank you!!!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing i have one thanks for the helpful tips much love to your channel
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
Excellent video! Sony A6000 users, the camera does not support live viewing, I'm crying :(
Thanks for watching. Maybe check to see if you can still download the "Play Memories" app. It was the older Sony app. And it may have more features for the a6000.
Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed!!
Thank you for the clarity. This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! What mic is this?
Thanks! It's the Rode NT2-a
Is this video assuming you are recording in 4K? Does the auto focus work in 1080 mode? Good video btw. Thanks
Thanks for watching. The autofocus still works in either mode. However the face tracking doesn't work.
I never thought about this ! It's probably possible with tablets too if they have the app 🙄💭
It could be useful for some shooting
The tablet app probably works more like the iphone app with has less controls. But I need to put it on a tablet it check.
@@CreativeTechLab you're correct
Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial - very helpful!!!
You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you, it was a useful explanation
🙏🏾
Thank you fam. This was insightful, str8 to the point
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful image. Thanks for the info!
Many thanks!
thanks brother.
You're welcome!
Dude yuh a Jamaican? me too! im glad I found this! I just bought the Sony A6400 and cannot connect to my phone or MacBook
Me too! Lol also, if you get the app “Camrote” it’s really good for stills (only) I don’t yet have a multi port so I cannot complete this set up. 😟
🙏🏽 Respect and thanks for watching. I'll check you vlogs out. a6400 is a great camera!
So glad I found your channel!
This helped me a ton. Thanks so much! Sony's directions were so confusing.
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much! this helped me a lot in trying to figure out this application :D
Awesome. Glad it helped!
Good info brotha! As I was struggling to connect because I had final cut open, you solved my issue later in the video lol thank you!
Glad I could help
oh God! you are a savior! TYSM bro
Happy to help
Man I appreciate this video… I just found out how to setup my camera for live videos and couldn’t figure out how to change the setting back to pull the footage off the camera. You got a sub from me my guy ✊🏾✊🏾
👊🏽
This helped me sooo much you got a 👍 and a new family member!!!
I think I messed up. I shut down my MacBook without shutting down the I E remote app and it powered up with a warning ⚠️ message indicating so. Now the soft ware won’t recognize my camera. I closed everything out appropriately and restarted it, but still. I success. Any recommendations??
Thanks 🙂
No problem 😊
I’m using a Sony a5100. I did all the steps but when I bring up the remote it only shows me the setting side bar, when I expand the screen the part that should be the camera view is just grey. When I use the remote on my Mac book all the settings work, i just can’t see the camera view. If you have any insight I would really appreciate it! :)
I just had this problem as well. support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount Looks like our camera isn't supported for live view 😢 I guess it's back to PlayMemories/Imaging Edge for Mobile only..
Oh okay! Thank you so much.
Thanks for replying
super helpful thank you so much!!
Glad it helped!
exactly what i needed! thnx! you got a sub..
Thanks, glad you liked it.
What HDMI cord do you recommend for the a73 ? The one I have doesn't connect very well and it takes forever for the monitor to work (if it works) and that's any monitor. TIA
Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for this. I know a lot of people complain about mini HDMI. But a quick search in amazon should give you a decent option
Thanks so much! Really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the Help!
Thanks for watching
Leo! Help! I download to my iMac and open dmg file and then pkg but I don't see the icon or where it stored? So I never get the pop up to open the 3 choices for app ....it worked perfectly on my laptop but not on my PC.....any suggestions? Thanks
Hey thanks for watching. I’m not sure why it would be different on the iMac vs laptop. Are they running the same OS?
Thank you for this! Just getting started on my youtube journey this was so helpful! You da besttttt
Glad I could help! Good luck with your channel!
would you think using the remote with manual focus is better than giving away a monitor and use the face detection?
It would depend on your shot. Autofocus will still work. But if there's something else in the frame like my mic, it may miss focus on your face. If you're not moving around a lot, then manual focus would be your best bet.
Thank you! Have you been able to connect this via WiFi instead of wired connection?
Thanks for watching. I haven’t connected to the computer via WiFi. I have done it with the phone in another video (czcams.com/video/nzI63AA4A4E/video.html). The process should be similar to connect to the computer.
Really good helpful tutorial, question if I may, do I need wifi to get imaging edge working if I use a wired connection between camera and laptop.
No. If you’re connecting via USB You don’t need wifi.
Hi, first of all, thanks for sharing us with the way to do it. But however, I tried to connect my Sony A6000 to my 2012 Mac, which running with the latest OS Catalina, it kept showing "Camera not connected". Do you have any way to solve this issue? I connect it using the USB to micro B cable, originally came with the camera. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for watching. I'm not entirely sure what the issue is. I know sometimes the slightly older camera setups can be different. This is the only info I was able to find on the Sony site regarding setup on the older menus: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/instruction/4_1_connection.php#cnt2
Hope that helps 🙏🏽
With imaging Edge can I transfer my video recording to my Apple computer without removing the SD card from the camera?
Also do you use the Sony XAVC file or MP4 for editing CZcams videos?
I’m new with Sony and about to start a new CZcams channel
I'm actually not 100% sure if you can move videos the same way that yoy do photos. It's also dependent on the camera model. Check out the imaging edge page here: imagingedge.sony.net/en-us/ie-desktop.html
i love videos that are straight to the point! i’ve had my sony A6100 for probably about 2 years and been trying to get it to connect to my mac recently. bless this video, thank you!!!
👊🏾
Thank you so much for this tut, buddy 👍
No problem 👍
Hi, I'm wondering if you can help. I'm using sony a5000. Everything you teach us through this video is so helpful and I'm very grateful for that. The problem is just the camera display won't show up on my pc. It shows just like a loading display?? And won't show anything that the camera captures. Any idea how can I fix this?
Hi thanks for watching. Depending on the age of your camera it may not support some features. You can see a full list on what’s supported here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount
Creative Tech Lab oh :( thank you so much for replying! It helps a lot! :”)
Great vid man. What cable are you using to connect the camera to you laptop?
Thanks for watching. It's a regular micro usb cable
thank you very much. How is the recording quality? Compared to the camera recording itself.
There's a slight delay and the resolution is probably 720p. But that still works fine if you're using it to frame up shots like this. Any recording will still be done internally to the camera.
hello is there any solution to make the liveview in pc is Fullscreen without Setting menu, sub setiing and other ??
Thanks for watching. If you hit the DISP button you should be able to change the view.
Hiya, sorry I’m a noob when it comes to this, what is the cable that connects the camera to the laptop called? Thanks :)
Hey thanks for watching. The A7iii uses a Micro USB cable
Does this work for the A6100? I have attempted all the steps and I continue to received the camera not found error message. Let me know!
It should work for the a6100. Not sure what the issue is. You can maybe check the Sony site for support here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/faqs/
Thank you so much Techy !
Welcome!
thanks for the video! Really enjoyed the quality & vibe of it - big thumbs up & excited for more sony content!
I got one question: is it also possible to wirelessly send RAW files from Sony cameras to a Mac?
Hi thanks for watching. Right now I don't know of a way to wirelessly send RAW files. It's definitely something Sony needs to update.
Good stuff, didn't know this. Can you use zebras?
Hi thanks for watching. I don't believe you can do zebras. But stay stuned I think I've found a better app solution that has way better controls.
Good job Leo!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi! how did you connect your microphone to this whole thing. To the camera? in the computer? Plz help!
Hey sorry I missed the comment. I'm recording off camera sound with the mic in the shot. That's ran through an audio interface into the computer and recroded with Logic Pro.
However, I only do that in this room because it's not treated and theres a lot of echo. The mic connected to the camera is the Rode Videomicro.
Thanks so much, this is super helpful!
You're so welcome!
AHHHHH MAN.. THANK YOU..
🙏🏽
man, I had to subscribed. This is great info!!!!
Awesome, thanks!
Greetings from Germany, great advice! I am also very amazed by your background, have you done that with an greenscreen? A Video on that would be very much appreciated
Thanks! I'm doing a review of my lighting setup soon.
I can't access it because it says that cannot set up a pc remote connection to the camera.on your camera, change the USB connection setting to pc remote. but when I go in my camera there is no option for pc remote so can you please help me. or theRe is another way to connect. and i did subscribe and like the video, because i learnt lot about my camera. Camera model-DSC-H300
Hi thanks for watching. I’m not familiar with that model camera. You can check the Sony site here: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/ and it will tell you what devices and features are supported.
What's the USB cable that you're using? Could you provide an Amazon link for it too?
A basic micro USB cable. In the video I used one that came with a mobile speaker I have. But the cable that came with the camera, or any generic micro USB will work.
It was sooooo helpfully! Thank you so much ☺️
😊😊😊 Glad it helped!
jamaica in the building
Very helpful video!
🙏🏾
Glad to see any man! Thanks!!!
👊🏽
Hello nice video ! It's clear. But which cable did you use to link your camera and your computer ? (The yellow one)
Thanks for watching. I used a micro USB to USB A cable. Just like the one that comes with camera. I just happened to have another one close by from another device when shooting this video.
Thanks
Welcome
I love u so much u just resolve my problems I was going crazy baby. Love u love u

so useful. Thanks a bunch.

Respect 👊🏾
hey thanks for the video- for some reason when i plug in my Sony A6000 and select the camera on remote I don't see the remote screen, all i see is viewer, doesn't seem to let me get to Remote screen. I saw that Sony was having some issues with Mac OS 10.15- i upgraded software to 10.15.5....is that what you're using? I see it's working for you on Catalina. Thanks for any guidance you can give!
Hey thanks for watching. I'm using Catalina 10.15.4. I'm not sure that make a big difference. But I also know that the older cameras have slightly different menus.
There's not as much info for the desktop app as there is for mobile. But this is what I was able to find on the Sony site: support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/instruction/4_1_connection.php#cnt2
Great vid. I'm showing my a6000 is connected but no video signal. But I can control settings like aperture and shutter speed. The wheel is spinning but no video. Any suggestions?
Not exactly sure what's going on there. I know the setuo on the a6000 is a little differeent with the older menus. Check out the following link to troubleshoot support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/instruction/4_1_connection.php
Hello, Thanks for the great video. Do you know where I can find a longer than 3-4 foot data transfer USB cable? If I want to use my camera and look at images, a 3-4 foot cable is not going to work too well :) I have been looking all morning. I have the Sony a9.
Hi thanks for watching. Amazon has cables like this: amzn.to/32EMEji that are 10 feet long.
great video man! thanks for the help ez like
Glad it helped!
All I want to do is connect my Sony ZV1 to my iMac so I can use it as a monitor (like you). I've downloaded & installed the new Imaging Edge Desktop with Remote Shooting, but when I click it, it tries to open, then closes! Also, on my ZV1, when I go to USB connection.... my only options are AUTO, MASS STORAGE, and MTP. I have to turn on the PC Remote under Network1, separately. This is a new camera. I am running on High Sierra (kept it that way on purpose) but it should be supported. Am I using the wrong cord? What could possibly be wrong? This should be easy! Helllllllllllllpppp!
Hey thanks for watching. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. It's hard to tell without having the camera in front of you.
However I know sometimes having "Ctrl w/ Smartphone" On can interfere with the PC remote setting. I also haven't used the ZV1 so I'm not sure if the menus are slightly different like you mention.
But if all this still fails check out this video from fellow creator Chris Brockhurst: czcams.com/video/b14oJ5PR65Y/video.html It's probably a better solution for what you're trying to do. I'll be testing out soon and making a video about it.
Hope that helps.
Thanks!! This was helpful
Glad it helped!
Appreicate this!
👊🏾
Did you use a USB cable or micro HDMI cable to connect your camera to your MacBook Pro as my MacBook Pro isn’t recognizing the USB connection(the cable that came with my Sony A6400 camera) Please help a sister out. Thank you.
I used a micro USB cable
would you Recomended a field monitor?… thanks for the info.
I would only use this solution as a field monitor in a crunch. A dedicated monitor would probably be better when you're out. But if you have no other option, or need a extra monitor it can definitely work.
Many thanks for this great video, I'm using the app already but I still couldn't figure out if there is a way to use the PC storage rather than the SD card while recording,, is this even possible 🤔
Hey thanks for watching. No I don't think you can record to the PC using this method. I think you would need a capture card of some sort to do that.
Hi there. i have a Sony ZV - 1 and I am trying to get some interval shots that I've taken. i have downloaded the Sony Imaging app. i have set my camera to USB but i cannot download to Laptop. what am I doing wrong please...???
Hey sorry to hear that. I'm exactly sure why that would be. Does the camera not show up at all in the computer? Like it would show up in 'Finder' on a Mac. Worse case though you should still be able to take the files directly off the memory card.
Same problem, did you fix it?
@@spiritualmeli5014 No. I've given up doing time lapses on the Sony ;for such a sophisticated camera, it seems such a basic function that it can't seem to handle without downloading extra software. I use my Samsung Note 10 Plus - it does brilliant time lapses...
