MODERN CONTROLS FOR OLDER SONY CAMERAS
Many older Sony cameras are still excellent—but the apps available for them are often limited, outdated or no longer supported.
Camera Red gives compatible cameras a modern companion app with live view, full remote control, advanced timelapse shooting, memory-card browsing and several ways to transfer photos to your iPhone.
REMOTE SHOOTING FROM ANYWHERE
Connect directly to your camera over its own Wi‑Fi and use your iPhone as a wireless viewfinder.
See the live image, release the shutter, control focus and adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO and white balance. Settings are placed on dials you can drag instead of tapping through values one at a time.
Frame the picture, focus and take the shot without standing behind the camera.
CREATE TIMELAPSES YOUR CAMERA CAN’T
Add interval shooting to cameras that do not have it built in.
Choose the interval and number of frames, and Camera Red shows the total shooting time and finished video length before you begin.
While the timelapse is running, scrub through the captured frames to watch the light and scene change. When shooting is complete, the app assembles the video automatically.
Every frame is kept, so you can rebuild the timelapse later at a different frame rate—or at a higher resolution after transferring the full-size originals.
BROWSE THE MEMORY CARD
Explore your camera’s memory card by date or folder, select the photos you want and transfer them to your iPhone.
If the camera offers several transfer sizes, you choose which version to download.
RECEIVE RAW AND JPEG FILES AS YOU SHOOT
Camera Red supports several ways of working with your files.
Use the camera’s “Send to Smartphone” function to browse and download photos, or configure its FTP function to send RAW and JPEG files directly to the app as they are captured.
FTP transfer can also work with supported cameras from other manufacturers.
Nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Your iPhone is the destination.
REVIEW EVERY SHOT
Camera Red includes a complete photo library and viewer:
• Pinch to zoom
• View a histogram with numerical values
• Check the exposure settings recorded by the camera
• Pick or reject photos to quickly narrow down a session
• Play videos
• Share or save your files wherever you choose
TRY EVERYTHING FREE FOR SEVEN DAYS
Every camera feature is available free for seven days. After that, one purchase unlocks the complete app permanently—no subscription and nothing to cancel.
Photos already stored on your iPhone remain accessible whether or not you purchase the app.
A built-in demo camera lets you explore the app before connecting a real camera.
CAMERA COMPATIBILITY
Remote shooting requires a Sony camera that supports Sony’s Camera Remote API and includes “Ctrl w/ Smartphone” in its network menu.
This includes many models released from approximately 2014 to 2019, such as:
• Sony α7 III and α7R III
• Sony α9
• Sony α6000, α6300 and α6400
• Sony RX100 IV and later compatible models
Memory-card browsing uses the camera’s “Send to Smartphone” function. Automatic file transfer requires a camera with FTP support.
Available features may vary depending on the camera model, firmware and selected file format.
Camera Red is an independent application and is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Sony Group Corporation.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
COLOUR EDITOR
The develop panel grows into a real colour desk. Eight zones of the colour wheel, each with its own hue, saturation and brightness — cool a sky without touching skin. Colour balance tints shadows, midtones and highlights separately, aimed on a wheel or tuned as exact numbers, live on the photograph. All of it non-destructive, per photo, part of the recipe.
PRESETS
Save a whole recipe — every dial and the look over it — under a name. Recall it on any photo, or lay it on a whole selection from little preview cards. Share a preset as a file: an imported .cube travels inside it, so it arrives complete on someone else's phone.
AUTO WHITE BALANCE
One tap measures the frame's colour cast and takes out as much of it as you choose. Faces count as witnesses — skin is never green — and a frame with nothing to judge by says so instead of guessing. Works over a whole selection too, with a running count.
HIGHLIGHTS AND SHADOWS
Pull a blown sky back or lift the dark end without touching the rest of the frame. The panel now reads Light, WB, Colour, Balance — four tabs, each with its own reset.
SHARE THAT SAYS WHAT IT SENDS
"JPEG, full size" now leads the share menu: every photo rendered on the way out — edits baked in, RAW-only frames converted, and a pair whose JPEG is only a small preview re-rendered from its RAW. The originals stay one tap away, described in plain words with honest counts. Files travel under readable names, Save to Files joins the menu, and if you are still on the camera's Wi-Fi — where nothing online can send — the app warns you before the share sheet, not after the silence.
A LIBRARY THAT KEEPS UP
The roll is ordered by when photographs were shot, switchable to when they arrived. A strip of day chips above the tab bar jumps anywhere in the roll with a tap. Pick, Reject and Delete are instant, thumbnails are kept across launches, and selecting got real tools: arrows that walk exactly the chosen frames, and safe, confirmed ways to unselect or leave.
IMPORT THAT CANNOT FAIL QUIETLY
Photographs appear as they land rather than all at the end, duplicates are asked about — skip or keep a copy, once or for the rest — and every copy is verified. PNG, TIFF, WebP and AVIF join the library alongside JPEG, HEIC and the RAWs.
SAVED ONCE
Saving to Photos remembers what it saved: a second save offers a copy instead of quietly making twins.
FIXES
Changing looks no longer resets the zoom. The bottom panel can sit directly under the photograph, upright and landscape both. Add camera now shows which bodies are supported, before anyone types a password. Rotating a photo no longer sends it to the top of the roll. A RAW cut mid-transfer is refused instead of saved looking whole. Re-downloading from the card replaces the file, and the old one waits in the trash.
