Great App but no audio monitoring

LOVE this app. Very easy to use and intuitive. My only complaint is no audio monitoring. I understand that the audio is a physical control, so I don’t need to actually adjust it through the app. Just monitor it to check levels. If I’m filming myself or am in the interview on a multicam set up I need to still use another monitor or record sound separately which almost negates the convenience of the app.

Update Firmware to 4.0: Comments filled with user error

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!

Glaringly Missing Feature: Audio meters

The functionality of the app for multi-cam control is fantastic considering it requires no extra hardware except an iPad.
However, multi-camera setup is extremely tedious and requires a router access point without an iPad with Cellular. Since Apple has removed the option to create ad-hoc networks, there’s no way to connect multiple cameras to an iPad without a cellular iPad or an external router.

Sony has added USB-C connection. This is fantastic for one camera. Resolution and speed is superb. However, USB-C only works with one camera at a time. Multi-Camera still does not work. If Sony would add the option to use a USB-C hub and connect multiple cameras, this app would be complete.

The tools like waveform and false color are adequate, but low resolution and blocky. Hopefully Sony will refine the exposure tools and add audio meters in a future update. Adding the ability to use USB-C hubs for Multicam would also be a huge update.
