You can’t see the audio from your microphone so for my setup I have to climb under everything to do an audio check. Also, if this app could connect to the camera with a usb or even a capture card it would be a great addition for recording saving a ton of money instead of buying an atamos ninja phone setup. Just plug and go, and make adjustments all in one app. That would be fantastic
It does have a bit of a lag, however it’s really easy to connect my camera to it. I can do it manually or by tapping the end of the phone to my camera. I have used this many times over the last couple of years. I’ve never had any issues with it.
Thank you for your kind review. One thing that can improve performance is disabling Bluetooth in iOS Settings app. iPhone uses the same antenna for Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi that your camera uses. Older Sony cameras are sensitive to the resulting interference. You will find more information about this in the "Tips & Tricks" section of the app.
I purchased this app to take burst shots of my toddler and I, in a beautiful setting outdoors. I love that it allows you to take as many pictures as your card will allow, for as long as you want. You can change everything you need to perfect your shot on your phone, which is amazing. And I love that you can take photos with your watch, so you don’t have to quickly hide your giant phone for group photos. I just detached the watch band and kept the watch face in my hand. My only knock on the app is that I can’t use my watch for continuous shooting. This did result in me having to use my phone and awkwardly trying to hide it in some shots. Which isn’t a huge deal, but I only had a 100mb memory card on me so my first dozen pictures are of me placing my phone down, and picking up my child THEN trying to pose. Which by that time my camera started to slow down due to trying to process the string of rapid fire pictures. I will continue to use this app. I just hope that in the near future there will be a development of continuous shots on the Apple Watch. :)
Thank you for this comment. So cool that you capture memories with your toddler using our app! 😍Recently, we’ve received multiple requests for continuous shooting on the Watch. It’s definitely coming soon. Please email us at help@shutter.dev so you can get an early access as soon as it’s ready.
This app works fine and the pairing process was easy. The only issues I experienced was the noticeable delay between taking the photo versus the time it actually registers to your camera. The second challenge was disconnections—I was standing a few feet away from my camera and the app disconnected within a few minutes of purchasing it. I have to manually close and open the app to establish a connection. My third problem is that during Shutter usage and after closing the app, I’m not able to send or receive texts. I’m a product photography who also uses airplay to send images to my TV—which I use as a backdrop. Whenever I have to use Shutter, it interferes with airplay even after I close the app. After using Shutter, I have to turn my phone off completely to allow my phone to receive messages and to use airplay, even though I have consistent Wi-Fi and cellular data. At this point, this works fine for in-studio shoots, but it’s not reliable enough to use at offsite shoots. I hope in time this app improves in its funactionality. 😊
Dear fellow Sony users, please do not rate this app one star just because you did not read what it was designed to do. It supports a great deal of Sony cameras, my a6500 included, but no, it will not connect to every single model Sony has ever sold. There is a list of cameras listed that you would do well to read before buying. If you bought it before reading, please check the list before commenting about how it doesn’t connect to your a9 or whatever. I use this app as a remote control and monitor, and it works great. The design is great, and I love that it has an Apple Watch app. My use case is simple, but it deserves five stars from me for how well it does what I need it to. The app developer(s) work hard at updating this app and providing support. Please make sure you are rating based on your experience and how it lived up to the performance the description promises, instead of uninformed expectations.
I am now using both the Canon and Sony versions of this app on the two cameras I own. It allows me to sit inside my warm car while the camera sits outside taking pictures of the stars. It provides intervalometer functions so I can, for instance, say “take 500 three second exposure with a one second delay between them” and it just does it. Couldn’t be happier.Paid the lifetime purchase fee for my Canon, when I bought the Sony I didn’t know if I had to pay the fee again for the Sony version of the app. I emailed via the in-program support button and got a reply within the hour, said no. I don’t need to pay twice. They even told me how to link it so they were both paid for. Was happy enough with initial experience I would have paid twice if I had to.I hope this app pleases you as much as it does me.
