Our mobile app for visual content creators enables wireless monitoring, high-precision exposure adjustment, and focus control on the larger screen of your smartphone or tablet
Features of Monitor & Control
Highly flexible shooting style
Use your smartphone or tablet as a wireless second screen for the camera, to set up and control the camera remotely
Precise exposure monitoring*
Your larger smartphone or tablet screen can serve as a waveform monitor, false-colour, histogram and zebra display, supporting more precise exposure adjustments at production
*When using BURANO and FX6, the application must be updated to ver.2.0.0 or later, and the camera body must also be updated to BURANO Ver.1.1 or later, FX6 Ver.5.0 or later
Intuitive focus controls:
Easy access is provided to various focus functions, including touch focus and AF sensitivity adjustment. A control bar on the side of the screen enables intuitive focus setting.
Adjustment of colour settings
Monitor & Control provides control of Picture Profile / Scene file settings, LUT switching, and other operations. Additionally, LUT can be applied in Log shooting so that an image resembling the finished image after post-production can be checked on a larger screen during recording.
Advanced operability delivers ease of use for creators
The frame rate, sensitivity, shutter speed, ND filter*, look, and white balance, which need to be operated frequently during shooting, can be remotely controlled using the monitor of a smartphone or tablet. In addition, the user interface is the same as that of the Sony CineAlta body as represented by VENICE, providing the same operability as the body.
* When using a camera not equipped with an ND filter, the ND filter item will not be displayed and will be left blank.
Multi Camera Monitoring
Up to four cameras can be connected wirelessly to a single iPad, their images displayed and shot, with operations including start/stop recording, and the display of settings list and battery level. Since multi-angle shooting with multiple cameras can be operated from a single device, work that previously required multiple people can now be done by a single person.
* Requires iPadOS 16.0 or later.
Operating environment:
iOS 16.0 - 17.3
iPadOS 16.0 - 17.3
Remarks:
This application is not guaranteed to work on all smartphones and tablets.

Ratings and Reviews
App is missing the most important feature…
Hey Sony, it’s an a7s3 user here…
With the release of the 3.0 firmware we can now use this app, but it seems like you’ve deliberately left out the most important feature everyone wants.
There is no GAMMA DISPLAY ASSIST on the monitor+ctrl app for a7s3 users. This means that if I’m shooting in SLOG3, I’m still being forced to look at a grey log image just like the old Imaging Edge app.
It’s astounding that you’ve given a7s3 users the ability to control 99% of the other functions on this app (in a much better way than imaging edge did) but have withheld gamma display assist.
Initially, I thought the entire app that was missing any log assistance feature, but as predicted, if you connect an FX3, you get a plethora of conversion options for log footage. (I know the FX3 supports custom luts, but the a7s3 DOES support gamma display assist).
If the functionality exists on camera, it should be supported in the app. Gamma display assist is a function of the a7s3, please don’t be greedy and prevent it from being in this app.
Your users will thank you for it, and you’ll stop people flocking over to the monitor+ app and paying $25 for that one, and having potential users exit the monitor+ctrl and creator app ecosystem.
Canon user swaps to Sony then discovers this app...
Hi Sony, developers, huge kudos and thumbs up and hugs all around for being absolutely amazing! Honestly, I've been so blown away by the Sony ecosystem and having spent quite a bit of money on an FX6 and an A7IV + lenses I was deliberately investing in time, tested camera systems but mindful that new cameras will arrive soon with enhanced functionality like a fantastic app for example, your cameras already ticked all my boxes for a professional setting so imagine my surprise when I discovered this app AND that you updated these cameras I've purchased to work with it! It shows that you are so proud of your products and you absolutely should be. The app, unexpected, is an absolute game changer. Being able to offer a client a remote monitor with no additional equipment priceless having a quick second Gimbal monitor amazing! Honestly, so very, very impressed and inspired and happy with what is possible and what might be possible now that I have these tools. Thank you for all your hard work. Very clearly, there are a lot of very passionate and talented people working very hard over at Sony and you deserve to be commended. Kind regards, Paddy McCann.
how about producing a working app for Alpha series
great that there seems to be an app for F series how about something working for the Alpha Series like S3 etc. c’mon Sony it ain’t that difficult to creat a good app
