Bluetooth LE remote App for Sony cameras (see compatibility list below). An affordable alternative to physical remotes with added functionalities such as intervall timer, automatic focus stacking and bulb mode interval timer. Perfect for any situation you would like to remote control your Sony camera without cables using Bluetooth. Take photos, zoom and focus in and out, press for AF focus, activate C1 button. With the interval timer can schedule the shots at intervals (seconds, minutes and hours) and repeating intervals with delays. The focus stacking can be done manually or automatically by selecting number of shots, delays and focus steps between shots. The bulb intervall timer allows you to program a series of bulb shots and delays in-between. Great for low light or astro-photography. Inbuilt manual for reference on how to pair and set up and control the camera so you don’t need to access internet for on-line manual. Background mode activated so you can open other apps or close the phone while the interval timer takes care of shooting the photos.

Минус 200р((( ### 1/5 — Funktioniert mit Alpha 6600 nicht *2024-09-17* Weder die Apple Watch noch die App auf dem iPhone unter iOS 18 funktioniert. Es wird keine Verbindung hergestellt. Die Anleitung habe ich befolgt. Leider gibt es keine Möglichkeit Kontakt zum Hersteller aufzunehmen oder eine Support Anfrage zu stellen. Habe darum eine Rückerstattung angefordert und die App leider mit nur einem Stern bewertet. Schade ### 1/5 — Dont work with ILCE-7M4 *2024-08-25* It dont work work my A7IV, all Settings done but the Shutter dont work, only Focus is working ### 1/5 — Flushed money down the toilet *2024-05-23* Connects to supported phone just fine. Unfortunately none of the controls work. No way to try before you buy and zero developer support. No way to contact. ### 4/5 — Great App, Half Press is missing *2024-05-15* Great App, however I’ve set AF-ON to DMF and miss now the half press feture. Works fine with a6700. ## Frequently asked questions about sMote ### What Sony cameras are compatible with sMote? sMote supports a range of Sony E-Mount cameras including ILCE-6100, ILCE-6400, ILCE-6600, ILCE-7C, ILCE-7M3, ILCE-7RM3, ILCE-7SM3, ILCE-7M4, ILCE-7RM4, ILCE-7RM5, ILCE-1, ILCE-9, ILCE-9M2, ZV-E10, and compact cameras like DSC-RX0M2, DSC-RX100M7, ZV-1, and ZV-1F.
