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Many older Sony cameras are still excellent—but the apps available for them are often limited, outdated or no longer supported.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.
THE CARD, LOOKED AT FIRST
Tap a photo on the camera's card to see it full screen before you take it: a sharp preview in a moment, pinch to zoom, and Full size on request to check focus — with when it was shot, the sizes the camera offers, and whether it is already on your phone. Select or download it right there.
DOWNLOADS THAT SAY WHAT HAPPENED
Show photos, videos or both — the phone asks the camera only for what you choose. The card remembers what is already on your phone: dimmed in the grid, counted per day, hidden with one switch. A day's Select takes the whole day — or only what is new. A download says which file it is on, stops when you press Stop, and ends with how many arrived and a way to the Library.
SELECTING LIKE PHOTOS
Slide a finger across photos to select everything between where you started and where you are, diagonals included; back up to undo, and the grid scrolls by itself near the edge. Hold any photo to start selecting. Select All, a grip on each day, and the count in the title. Smooth on libraries of thousands.
FTP: LOOK AT WHAT ARRIVED
Tap any file the camera sent to open it full screen, just as in the Library — zoom, looks, Pick and Reject, share.
SHARING THAT ARRIVES
Share as JPEG comes first everywhere, a RAW converted on the way out; the originals wait below it for AirDrop and Files. On the camera's Wi-Fi the app says so before anything is prepared and, where it can, takes the phone off it first. A share too big for Telegram is offered in parts, and a send that fails says so instead of closing in silence.
FIXES
A day on the card no longer stays empty while another loads. HEIF files keep the .HIF name the camera gave them.
