This mobile app for video creators enables wired and wireless video monitoring, as well as high-precision exposure adjustments and focus operation on the larger screens of smartphones, tablets, and Macs.

Features of Monitor & Control

- Highly flexible shooting style
The app allows a smartphone, tablet, or Mac to be used as a second monitor, and camera settings and operations to be performed from a remote location, via a wired or wireless connection.

- Support for high-precision exposure monitoring*
The ability to check waveform monitor / false colour / histogram / zebra displays on a large screen enables more accurate exposure settings at the video production site.

- Intuitive focusing operations
Various focus settings/operations, such as touch focus (operation) and AF sensitivity adjustment (settings) are possible, while a control bar at the side of the screen enables intuitive focusing.

- Equipped with a wide range of colour setting functions
A vectorscope lets you visually check colour hue and saturation, helping to minimise colour variations when using multiple cameras, supporting consistent visual expression. Operations such as Picture Profile / Scene File setting and LUT switching are also possible. You can apply LUTs while shooting in Log mode and display the image in order to check the final look.

- Easy operability that meets the needs of creators
The app allows adjustments that are frequently made during shooting (frame rate, sensitivity, shutter speed, ND filter*, look, white balance) to be made on a mobile device. Functions are provided that facilitate shooting, such as switching between shutter speed and angle displays, and the display of markers, as well as a de-squeeze display function compatible with anamorphic lenses.
* If the camera does not have an ND filter, the ND Filter item will be blank.

- Multi-Camera Monitoring
Multiple cameras can be wirelessly connected to a single iPad*, enabling simultaneous shooting, operation, display, and recording from those cameras.

- Operating environment:
iOS / iPadOS: 18.2-26.4
macOS: 15.3 - 26.4

- Note:
This application is not guaranteed to work on all tablets and smartphones.

### 3/5 — 登録撮影設定(MR)が使えない

*2026-08-04*

すごくいいアプリだとは思うんだけど、カメラ側の設定が引き継がれないのが不便で仕方ない。
MRダイヤルを回してもカメラ本体に保存した撮影設定を呼び出せないし、メニューからMRの呼び出しをしようとしても、グレーアウトしていて選べない。
この事について全く触れている人がいないのなんで？

アプリ側で設定を保存できる項目もなさそうだし。

なんとかなりませんか？

### 4/5 — ZV-E10

*2026-07-16*

Ainda funciona de alguma maneira a ZVE10?

### 1/5 — Disappointing Lack of A6700 Support

*2026-07-13*

The app itself is well-designed and works great with many Sony cameras. However, it’s very disappointing that the Sony A6700, one of Sony’s most popular Alpha cameras, is still not supported.

As an A6700 user, I expected compatibility, especially since it’s a mainstream Alpha model used by many content creators. Lack of support makes the app far less useful for a large portion of Sony users.

I hope the developers prioritize adding A6700 support soon. Until then, I can’t recommend it to fellow A6700 owners.

### 5/5 — Execelente

*2026-07-08*

Este aplicativo é muito bom. Uso ele sincronizado com a Sony FX30. A principal finalidade para meu uso é fazer a fotografia da cena usando o false color. O ponto negativo que vejo é o delay e framerate baixo, mas o aplicativo entrega recursos de monitoramento que nao temos nativamente na camera. Para quem ainda nao tem um monitor externo como aqueles da fellworld, o aplicativo quebra um belo galho.

### 4/5 — Needs focus peaking!!!!!!

*2026-07-02, version 2.6.0*

Please add focus peaking plus same features for usb and wifi please.

### 1/5 — Sony A7III

*2026-06-30, version 2.6.0*

Waiting for A73 🥲

### 3/5 — Good and limited

*2026-06-19, version 2.6.0*

Great app 👍 but I wish I could pair with my Sony a6700 😔

### 1/5 — IMPOSSIBLE DE CONNECTER MON SONY

*2026-06-17*

Logiciel vraiment nul, ça ne fonctionne pas. Impossible de connecter mon appareil. Je désinstalle aussi vite que j’ai installé.

### 5/5 — Just Works

*2026-06-10, version 2.6.0*

Not often you download this kind of app, and it just works as needed. This has been great for working in the studio with a cam setup high out of reach. Never had any dropouts or glitches. Preview is easy to configure and everything we need to switch up the settings on camera are easy to access.

### 1/5 — Worst software ever period

*2026-06-05, version 2.6.0*

Considering sony being a crazy big company, them saying that they updated the whole app and me using sony for more than 5 years man the they have made no strides when it comes to improvements. Lagging behind every brand right now… man do something about this software. How can we be proud of sony when such an annoying issue still is present from day one in the app. @sony
