Metering Mode value

Why isn’t the MM value number on the app? for those of us that shoot in SLog 3 that doesn’t want to keep looking on the small screen on the camera.

Missing Apple Vision Pro support

It feels like the iPadOS version of this app would work great on Apple Vision Pro. I’m not sure why it’s not available sometimes when you’re shooting in a well lit bright environment even the brightest phones don’t give you the ability to really compose your shots.

A6700 Support

Any plans to include the Sony A6700 in your supported camera list? Thanks!

The app is absolutely dezastre , it not connected the camera even I use the app on tablet , or phone even is bluetooth or WiFi or cable the app is a waste of time and I don’t recomand so horble from
Sony shame on developer

No Slog 3 to Rec 709 LUT support

The app has a lot of useful functionality but unfortunately not being able to import your own luts within the app make it basically useless as you can't really see the finished product all you get is a low contrast image. Its not really helpful on the A7IV for that reason.

Why not sort out connection issues before building an entire app

So many connection issues always with Sony. Docs are unclear. Simple Bluetooth and WiFi connections don’t work half the time. Followed instructions for Bluetooth and getting a power error which makes sense. Followed instructions for Wifi and not showing up.

Canon user swaps to Sony then discovers this app...

Hi Sony, developers, huge kudos and thumbs up and hugs all around for being absolutely amazing! Honestly, I've been so blown away by the Sony ecosystem and having spent quite a bit of money on an FX6 and an A7IV + lenses I was deliberately investing in time, tested camera systems but mindful that new cameras will arrive soon with enhanced functionality like a fantastic app for example, your cameras already ticked all my boxes for a professional setting so imagine my surprise when I discovered this app AND that you updated these cameras I've purchased to work with it! It shows that you are so proud of your products and you absolutely should be. The app, unexpected, is an absolute game changer. Being able to offer a client a remote monitor with no additional equipment priceless having a quick second Gimbal monitor amazing! Honestly, so very, very impressed and inspired and happy with what is possible and what might be possible now that I have these tools. Thank you for all your hard work. Very clearly, there are a lot of very passionate and talented people working very hard over at Sony and you deserve to be commended. Kind regards, Paddy McCann.

Doesn’t seem to work on iOS 18

Strangely it works fine on my iPad with iPadOS 18, but it will not work on my iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18. It gets stuck on allowing file permissions.

USB File Access Issue

Generally a fine app, was severely needing USB option due to the poor WiFi performance on the cameras.

Excited to hear it has been added, but on my iPhone 15 Pro Max it won’t work because I am unable to grant permissions to the app.

I assumed it was my phone and reset all the iPhone settings, and it still didn’t work. Now I need to set my whole phone back up how I like it. Oops.

The app keeps asking, but I can’t approve. It doesn’t even appear in the iPhone settings for me to turn on file access permissions.

Awesome Monitor App….But….

I have been doing some work with my FX30 using this app on my iPhone 16. And I’m impressed. One thing I am noticing is noticeable frame drops as I’m recording/monitoring. This issue happens no matter what frame rate I’m recording at. I hope this gets resolved.
