Sony | Imaging Edge Mobile App Comments & Reviews

Sony | Imaging Edge Mobile Positive Reviews

OK for what does, but limitedThe biggest drawback with PlayMemories is the hodgepodge of separate apps - remote, photo transfer, HDR, etc - launched separately from camera rather than a single comprehensive program. Coming from Nikon, CamRanger blows it out the water but doesn't support Sony. About the only function I use is remote trigger which transfers those jpg, but not the photo transfer app with traditionally shot photos as I says will transfer individual but only does ALL! HDR, variate filter etc, use real software in post where have more control. One thing to be aware of, the app starts with last settings and adjusts the camera to it rather than reading the current camera settings and adjusting from there. If you last shoot was night/Astro and currently daylight/beach, you suddenly start with ISO 6400 despite the camera being set at ISO 100! Now to the reviewers upset because doesn't transfer RAW. Seriously? ARE YOU NUTTS! Save your RAW to SD card and use real software later. Jpg and minor app adjustments if necessary is certainly sufficient for viewing/chimping and social media upload. With Nikon did RAW+jpg to separates SD cards and loaded the selected jpg to iPad directly via SD toggle from that specific card? With Sony's single SD card, RAW+jpg on same card and both transferred. With 43mgB RAW files, it totally blew out my memory in the iPad. Worse, with the duplicates - RAW and jpg - IOS doesn't show file name extensions or file size to know which one yo delete..Version: 5.9.0

Works amazingly wellWhen I first bought my Sony RX100 V1 I could not for the life of me get this app and my camera to synchronize. After watching every video I finally complied a quality list of exactly the steps to get things working. The KEY to the whole procedure is to get the camera and the app to communicate with each other. Once you open your settings on your iPhone and click on WiFi you will see your regular home etc. WiFi Settings. Make sure your camera is on. It might take awhile but your camera WiFi setting will be entered into your list. Click on it and make sure once it takes over for your home WiFi it has to have a check on it. Immediately go to your app and make sure it’s opened. You will see what’s on your camera screen. You can then use your iPhone as a great remote. The procedure to get photos from your camera to your iPhone or iPod is different but the key is to make sure both are paired via WiFi. IT WORKS SEAMLESSLY except for videos. That’s another whole story. You must change specific settings in your camera menu and purchase a unit that can attach via usb to your camera’s charging cord and then into this new usb cord and that cord into your iPad via lightning connector..Version: 7.2.2

The app works, but not clear on setupI see that a lot of people were having trouble connecting to the camera. I finally got it to work after a few tries. Follow these steps below: 1)Turn off your Wi-Fi to your Apple device so it doesn’t automatically connect to your camera when you turn on your camera’s Wi-Fi. 2) Click the Wi-Fi icon on your Sony camera device to show the name of the camera and password. 3) Open the app on your Apple device and click on your camera’s model or “Connect to new camera” option. 4) Click on the enter SSID option. 5) Enter the name of your camera’s name. On the app, it only says “DIRECT-“. You have to fill in the rest of the camera name. 6) Enter the password that is on your Sony device, but do not click “Connect” yet. 7) Turn the Wi-Fi back on to your Apple device. 8) Go back to your app and click connect. 9)Double check that your Apple device is connected to the Sony device’s Wi-Fi. This should fix the issue. I was able to get it to work on both IPad Pro 11 and the IPhone XS. Hopefully this works for you since I had the same frustration of not being able to connect. Entering the rest of your Sony camera’s Wi-Fi name should fix the issue! Good Luck!.Version: 7.3.0

This is Sony’s weakest link. UpdatedI’m a professional photographer who switched over to Sony after shooting with another brand for 16 years. I love all the features of my Sony mirrorless cameras, but sometimes I need to be in the photos. My old camera brand had a great iPhone app where I could set the ISO, F-stop, shutter speed and focus point manually on any camera in the family. Imagine my surprise that when paring my top of the line 42MP camera to play memories mobile, I found it to be next to useless. No adjustment of anything except for being able to put it in the timer mode. You can’t change any other manual function and if you leave your camera in auto focus, it might even grab the wrong spot. Sony gets an F on this one at least with the iPhone. Update. After looking at another app that prompted me to upgrade the app in my camera, everything magically started to work as it should. I wish my phone app would have alerted me to this miss match. New grade B+.Version: 6.2.1

Try reinstalling the app!The location link feature broke after I updated to the latest version. I saw one review saying to reinstall, but I brushed it off because I thought the location settings would always show in settings > privacy > location. It turns out I was wrong and a reinstall was necessary. Once you’ve reinstalled you’ll need to re-pair with Bluetooth. Also, when it firsts asks for access to your location it will only request “while using the app”. The app later complains it’s not “always” and will request you change that in the settings. After that you should be set. For those of you struggling to get the NFC to scan, the reader is on the very top (not on the back) of the iPhone 8. With that said, once it scans there’s a 90% chance it’ll fail to connect 👎 (or at least that was my experience with the old version).Version: 7.1.0

FocusNot sure what the point of this app is, it would be great if the live view function to control camera included some ability to adjustment the focus on AF lenses. The app doesn't even allow for pinch to zoom. This could be a great tool for wireless use, studio or field use, with your mobile device as a field monitor if only Sony built out more functionality. The app is so tedious to use for review of images on camera's memory card as well. This would be another useful function, the ability to quickly review shots and even download to phone. The app has this but you must go through several steps. With the app one has to reconnect to camera either as a monitor for shooting or as an image review tool. Come on Sony, you have the app, put a little more user friendliness into it, otherwise what's the point?.Version: 7.5.1

Works fine for geotaggingA lot of reviews are focusing on the image transfer aspect, which could definitely use some refinement in the WiFi pairing process — the real problem there is that the iPhone almost instant wants to disconnect from the camera and connect to your home router since the camera has no internet. The Bluetooth side of things, for adding GPS data to photos/videos has been working great for me however. It connects quickly when the camera is turned on and immediately starts getting GPS data without having to open the app manually, even if it’s been a while since it was last used. Tested with an iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 15.1.1 with an A7 III running firmware 4.01.Version: 7.7.0

Forget the playmemories appI have a Sony a5100 and I spent hours trying to sync my photos from my camera to the playmemories app (which is the app that even the instructions that came with the camera told me to use) and researching online and it was just useless. Then I stumbled upon this app and it transferred my picture in seconds!! Also unlike the playmemories app, this one gives you simple steps to sync your camera to the app and even has alternative methods if one doesn’t work. I was amazed.. don’t know why anyone would suggest that other app because this one is the best, and in my case, was the only one that worked! Thank you!!!.Version: 7.3.3

Just What I Needed for the Solar Eclipse!I used this software in connection with my purchase of a Sony DSC-QX100 camera, which I directly attached to an old Televue Pronto 480mm telescope along with a Barlow that doubled the focal length to 960mm. I was able to connect to the camera’s wifi radio using my iPad Pro and could take pictures and see the images on the iPad before taking the picture as well as downloading the picture immediately to my iPad. Given all the quick decisions needed to take good amateur quality eclipse photos, I didn’t miss the lack of manual settings on the DSC-QX100. The pictures turned out very well and I was able to share the view through the telescope with other viewers - all without disturbing the telescope setup. While I realize that my use of the software is rather unusual, for me, the application fit my needs and was “Just What I needed for the Solar Eclipse”. While the 2024 eclipse is still quite a way into the future, I’ll be using the setup for other solar observing opportunities using neutral density and hydrogen alpha filters..Version: 6.1.1

Make sure firmware is up to dateIt is frustrating how little help Sony is with this app, plus they recently changed the name of the app I guess because all the you tube videos were calling it play memories or something, which is a completely different app for sharing photos. I had to find out from another reviewer that the firmware needs to be updated for the phone to connect properly to the camera. The updating process wasn’t all that easy either so give yourself about 40 min to troubleshoot that as well. Once installed and connected, the app works as expected and functionally you can change what you need to from the phone. It was a frustrating process all in, so that’s why the middle of the road review.Version: 7.2.0

Better than ReviewsI just got my first professional camera (Sony a6100) and I am very new to photography. After seeing the reviews for this app, I wasn’t looking forward to using it, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Im not sure if the developers improved the app since these negative reviews, but I’ve had zero issues. It took a couple minutes to figure out the instructions, but it was smooth sailing from there. I’ve had no problem transferring photos from my camera to my phone, zero issue with bugs, and the transferring process is pretty quick.Version: 7.5.2

Fix connection issues please!I want to love my new camera, but the fact that the app that is meant to work with it so that I can shoot remotely never connects to my iPhone right, is a bummer. I used to shoot canon & the mobile app always connected instantly, & now this IEM app causes a lot of frustration because it connects initially, then kicks me off & I struggle to eventually get it to reconnect… but I do not think it should be this difficult. I’d love to be able to easily shoot remotely & upload photos directly to my phone, so please fix this since I shoot remotely & transfer to my phone a lot, & it’s really slowed down my process & I’d love for that to not be an issue anymore. Thank youuuu!.Version: 7.7.5

Great with a6600!Does not work with my a6000 anymore but I also have not updated the software on that camera. Wonderful improvements to this app for new cameras like a6600. Love the location data automatically connects to my phone every time I turn on the camera. I don’t have to do anything to get the location data. I will see if I can update my a6000 to work with this app again but I know that the a6000 will not work with some of the improvements like location data. I will be happy if I can upload photos to my phone from the a6000 again..Version: 7.6.0

Sony is pro 🤙Using a professional sony camera is not made for the faint hearted. With a slew of features which could easily take months to master, a sony camera is a beast and can be vet technical. But one of the easiest and funnest feature is sony play memories. This feature is so powerful and fun to use. Especially if you need tight turnarounds. Easily upload images to your phone and process through Lightroom mobile or your favorite editing app. You also have the ability to control your cameras settings remotely. How powerful is that? If you have a sony camera you should have this app! Period..Version: 6.1.1

Almost perfectI’m actually quite impressed with the application, I haven’t really come across any glaring issues and am quite glad they still support my camera (a6000). There are two points I wish they’d work on. 1, adherence to iOS design language, unfortunately its base design language isn’t very good and could use with a polish. 2, permissions, it shouldn’t need FULL permission to just write to my phone’s library. No other app that writes to my photos needs that level of permissions it’s an invasion of privacy. Besides that it works well, makes it convenient to export quick shots for social sites..Version: 7.8.3

Hostile to Video RecordingThis app is optimized for photography, not videography. No control modes are available for video modes. If you attempt to engage remote record, all exposure settings are disregarded in the actual recording, despite displaying the desired outcome on the app. I was rudely awakened to this when I found that all of my footage had glare it didn’t show on the app. There is also no way to control focus in video mode, even if your camera is fully capable of remote focusing. The quality and speed of streaming from camera to phone is decent, but the lack of functional controls in the app, and the automatic disregard of displayed exposure settings, hampers the actual usefulness of this app in video mode..Version: 6.3.0

Can’t connect to camera since updating to iPadOSWorked fine for connecting to my Sony a6000 until updating my iPad to the new iPadOS..Version: 7.2.1

Read ThisYou people that gave one star are all wrong. You are using the wrong app. This app is for older Sony cameras, and it works fine (yes, the password is complicated, but you put it only once). If you have a newer camera use Sony Creator’s App.Version: 7.8.2

This app works as intendedEveryone giving 1 star is tripping it took me 2 mins to figure it out and it worked no problem..Version: 7.8.1

Pretty goodOnce I learned how to connect to the wifi in the app and not in the settings app it was very straightforward and easy to use.Version: 7.8.1
