This mobile app for visual creators enables wired and wireless video monitoring, as well as high-precision exposure adjustments and focus control on the larger screens of smartphone, tablet, and Mac.
Features of Monitor & Control
- Highly flexible shooting style
The app allows a smartphone, tablet, or Mac to be used as a second monitor, and camera settings and operations to be performed from a remote location, via a wired or wireless connection.
- Support for high-precision exposure monitoring*
The ability to check waveform monitor / false colour / histogram / zebra displays on a large screen enables more accurate exposure settings at the video production site. Supports advanced exposure tools, including EL Zone.
- Intuitive focusing operations
Various focus settings/operations, such as touch focus (operation) and AF sensitivity adjustment (settings) are possible, while a control bar at the side of the screen enables intuitive focusing.
- Equipped with a wide range of colour setting functions
A vectorscope lets you visually check colour hue and saturation, helping to minimise colour variations when using multiple cameras, supporting consistent visual expression. Operations such as Picture Profile / Scene File setting and LUT switching are also possible. You can apply LUTs while shooting in Log mode and display the image in order to check the final look.
- Easy operability that meets the needs of creators
The app allows adjustments that are frequently made during shooting (frame rate, sensitivity, shutter speed, ND filter*, look, white balance) to be made on a mobile device. Functions are provided that facilitate shooting, such as switching between shutter speed and angle displays, and the display of markers, as well as a de-squeeze display function compatible with anamorphic lenses.
* If the camera does not have an ND filter, the ND Filter item will be blank.
- Multi-Camera Monitoring
Multiple cameras can be wirelessly connected to a single iPad*, enabling simultaneous shooting, operation, display, and recording from those cameras. Multi-Camera Monitoring supports vertical position, allowing more flexible shooting styles.
- Operating environment:
iOS / iPadOS: 18.2-27.0
macOS: 15.3 - 27.0
- Note:
This application is not guaranteed to work on all tablets and smartphones.
Update Firmware to 4.0: Comments filled with user error
sterlingsanders
TLDR: Great app, adds amazing functionality to an already amazing camera.Everyone complaining thier camera can't connect has no idea what they're doing. Before you download and try to connect with this app, install firmware 4.0 on your FX3, or the latest version of the compatible firmware for your camera. For those complaining about monitor lag, there is a toggle to toggle priority between dispaly speed vs monitor image quality, try that first. For those that are complaining about the app asking for permissions, Apple forces all apps that need/can save images to your camera role for each permission the app needs. Sony is not interested in stealing ot using your data, unless you give them permission. You can turn off the toggles to share data in this app and the creator app if you just read the terms of service options before you hit accept and toggled them off.Sony, you can do a better job of letting people know the requirements before attempting to connect to thier cameras. PLEASE add shutter angle to the FX3 and this program (currently only works with FX6), I also wouldn't mind open gate recording. Thanks!
Great app it just needs to support more cameras
HeyThisIs…
This app is great. I really like using it and it connects to the Sony A7IV much better than the creators app. The issues I have are more requests:- Lack of full camera line support I feel like any camera released after the A7IV should be supported - Add audio record level display and controls- iOS compatibility I use an iPhone for a top down set up and it would be cool if the app could also work with the iPhone camera or at least Xperia devices. I know this is a stretch, but it’d be cool.
Is it that difficult to make quality?

Is it really that difficult in the world of high end technologies to make quality monitor for your product? Ok, I might understand if it’s a startup from couple guys, but when such a huge brand as Sony does this…. What are those privacy checks for? Why there is no direct cable connection? You create high end cameras and can’t release a simple camera monitor powered by external device? Let people pay for it if it’s gonna work as it should but don’t ask to track my working location and photo gallery. I wanna control my camera on a bigger screen, not to save thousands of gigs on my phone, I have sd card for it
Missing features make it almost useless

The positives: pairing with the camera is pretty seamless and the connection is stronger and more stable than the other apps I've tried.The negatives: this doesn't have a setting to show focus peaking, which is absolutely ridiculous. Making sure my focus is perfect is the #1 reason I use an external monitor. It also doesn't show your exposure +/- levels, which is the only other thing I'm consistently monitoring whilst shooting.All they had to do was make this the exact mirror image of the screen on the back of the FX3 and it would've been a home run. As is it's useless to me and I'll be going a different route for shooting.
- Support for α6700 and ZV-E10 II has been added.
- Support for fine-tuning white balance has been added*.
- The display frame rate can now be set during Multi-Camera Monitoring.
- The system will now automatically reconnect if a camera connection is dropped, regardless of the number of connected cameras.
*Supported only on camera models with a white balance adjustment function.
