## What is CamDrop?

CamDrop brings the photos and videos from your Sony camera to your iPhone or iPad — wirelessly, in full quality.

Scan the Wi-Fi QR code on the camera screen, and your memory card appears on your device: every shot grouped by day, with RAW, JPEG, HEIF and video clearly marked. Tap "Import new" and CamDrop downloads only what isn't there yet.

FULL RAW, NOT A PREVIEW
• The original ARW files, straight from the card
• RAW+JPEG shots are saved as one photo in Photos: you see the JPEG, and editors like Lightroom use the RAW
• Every file is also kept in the Files app

FAST AND RELIABLE
• Only new files, never duplicates
• If Wi-Fi drops, the download resumes where it stopped
• Keeps importing in the background (Pro)

FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
• One app for both screens: a roomy layout on iPad, in portrait and landscape
• Available in 10 languages
• Saved cameras sync through iCloud Keychain: connect a camera on your iPhone once, then reconnect from your iPad in one tap

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no tracking — your photos never go to the cloud
• Your photos go from the camera to your device and nowhere else

FREE AND PRO
Free: connect, browse the card, import up to 20 JPEG/HEIF photos a day — and try RAW: your first 50 RAW and video files are free.
CamDrop Pro — a one-time purchase, no subscription: RAW, video, no daily limit, background import. Family Sharing included.

COMPATIBILITY
Tested with Sony a6700. Sony cameras from 2020 on (a7 IV, a7C II, ZV-E10 II and others) connect through the camera's PC Remote Wi-Fi Direct QR code and are expected to work with full RAW — the app shows the steps. Cameras before 2020 (a6000–a6600, a7 II/III, RX100 and others) work too, with JPEG and video — they don't send RAW over Wi-Fi. CamDrop detects the camera type by itself. No camera yet? Try the built-in demo camera.
