Only works in photo mode, doesn’t create a timelapse video
It worked with my Sony RX10 IV in photo mode, but not in video mode. You need to make the photos into a timelapse video yourself.
You need video editing software that can convert a sequence of photos into a video to use this and I haven’t been able to find one that does this on iPhone.Intuor
It works
After the utter failure that is Sony‘s Imaging Edge on iOS13 this at least connects to my camera and works. The major downfall is that you can’t control the focus point in this which makes setting up your picture more complicated than it needs to be. For the price I would have hoped for a bit moreAnnaR.
Developer Response
Unfortunately, newer Sony cameras don't allow remote apps to control focus - it's a hardware limitation. You can, however, leverage the excellent Eye-AF to make your shooting a breeze. Simply make sure you have a wide AF area selected in camera, and each time you take a photo, it'll focus on the eye. If you run into any issues, please email us at help@shutter.devStable and well made
This app is much better than the Sony made one. The preview quality is much higher and the app is generally more stable. The interval shooting and other timer based functionality is really useful and works well.
The only thing it’s missing is the ability to control the focus point although I’m sure this is a limitation on Sony’s side and just isn’t possible.
All in all a fantastic app and well worth the money for me!Show lesslochlanna

Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, you are right: some newer Sony cameras don't allow remote apps to control focus. It's a hardware limitation. If your subjects are human (or animals), you can leverage the excellent Eye-AF by setting the wide AF area mode in camera.No problem at all!
Have tried a few apps to do time lapse video with my rx100 v camera, this one is the best so far!AFWL419
Shutter gives us the features Sony left out
This app works great as an intervalometer for the Sony cameras. I use it for timelapses and for taking multiple astrophotography exposures for stacking. I love not having to bring a physical intervalometer around or pay Sony for a feature that should have been included. Grzegorz, the developer, is also very polite responsive to questions.
I am using it on a Sony a7rii.Show lessCharles Gerhard DeBroglie
No long exposure support
There doesn’t seem to be support for long exposure when the camera is in bulb mode. Meaning you can’t automate exposure sequences longer than the 30 second camera limit. I can see this is useful for time lapse but unfortunately it isn’t a complete physical intervalometer replacement. I’m not sure if its intention to be though.
The sliders for the controls also seem to close in the middle of adjusting them which is a bit frustrating.Show lessHBOmg
Great remote
I use this for landscape photography with a Sony A7R III. The app is very easy to connect and works great for capturing time lapses. With frequent improvements, it’s well worth the money.tjerz
Very convenient for panoramas shooting
I have two Sony cameras DSC RX 10 III and DSC RX 100 IV. Both of them work fine with the app. I mount my camera on the panoramic head. Make appropriate setting on it in manual mode. Then I make setting of the pictures’ quantity and the interval into the app and start shooting rotating panoramic head with my camera to the next position during the interval. I need 10 pictures to get cylinder panorama and it takes 20 seconds to complete the shooting taking high quality pictures by stable camera do to remote control.Show lessIlya2019Uk
