Sony Free Monitor & Control App for FX30, FX3, a7S III, FX6 and BURANO Launched - First Look
Ғылым және технология
Sony has just introduced a mobile app that allows you to monitor and control your FX30, FX3 or FX6 using an iOS or Android device. Support for Sony’s a7S III as well as their new CineAlta camera, BURANO, will also be added at a later date. The app is now available free of charge.

I'd suggest to Sony to create an actual monitor - something like the Atomos Shinobi - and make it integrate seamlessly with their cameras, i.e. allowing camera control through the monitor. It will fly off the shelves!

Or maybe just create an API so it could be integrated into(any monitor)like the Ninja V or Shinobi lineup through HDMI. The DJI transmission system kinda reverse engineered it and you can do it with their monitor wirelessly, but its really expensive. Even a collab/partnership with Atomos and SmallHD would be awesome.

Yeah, I’ve always found it funny that Sony never really got into the on camera monitor market, considering the fact their monitors are the standard when it comes to post production. I also believe their monitors would fly off the shelves. Small HD Needs more competition, not really a fan of the Atomos stuff anymore.

Just buy an Atomos unless you like buying tech that is crippled unless you pay a yearly fee.
Main issue with all these wireless apps is they have massive issues connecting and delays, and why I don’t use it. Glad to hear you can do it with a wired cable.
„We‘re not forgetting about the a7sIII.“ Still waiting for the improved FX3 video menu and focus breathing compensation.

When is the update for s3 coming?
Does it have pinch monitor zoom for focusing ?
how accurate is false color? does it depend on the samrtphone model?
HI I currently shoot with an older Xt3 and im looking to upgrade. Im trying to decide between 2 full frame cameras. The new Lumix s5iix or the older Sony A7siii. My use case is video only and im currently focused on realestate videos and some weddings, client work ect. My main concern is for filming real estate in 4k60. What would look better a7siii 4k60 or the lumix s5ii 4k60 cropped? Most high end videographers in the real estate industry use a7siii. Taking everything into account, noise, low light, Dynamic range, image quality ect which is better. My goal to get the best quality 4k 60 video. Thank you
how does the wired connection work?
A1??
Can't wait to try this out. Very happy the a7S III made the cut, thank you Sony 🙏

Would new iPhone 15 pro with USB-C work with app?
Wondering if it can trigger multiple fx3 cameras??
Thanks, Daniel Tosh. Good info.
Do i need to update the firmware in FX 30 to use this app? Because I can’t… it said it is not compatible to my FX 30 version 2.0
Log assist available in the app?
iPad mini as a field monitor going forward?
How to playback in monitor & control app
Once again fx9 is left out, I used Fx9 at work and it makes no sense that we would have to buy a $3000 attachment on the back of the camera to get raw output but the fx6, fx3, fx30 a7siii can all do raw output from the start. Spend $10,000 on a camera and have less features than cameras much less.

Does it work for a6700
If I could connect all my cameras at once during a wedding ceremony and just tap to focus from this app with all my Sonys that would be great. The Creators app, image edge, this new app- they do need to streamline these apps and just kill what isn’t being updated. So confusing
I couldn't get it to connect to my Sony a7SIII camera with latest firmware v2.11 via the Bluetooth pairing (Wi-Fi) connection method. Could anyone else connect with their a7SIII? Thanks.

maybe keeping it only on their video cameras?
What is the name of the app ?
So they have histogram and false color NOT on the actual cinema camera FX6? What the heck?
The Sony rep better come prepared to answer Nino's questions the next time.
Just tried it with FX6 s…can’t use it to focus (image on screen is very soft), no peaking, no waveform, no zebras nor histogram. It’s good for setting custom buttons and starting stopping recording. Wireless is slow. Connecting to multiple cameras is only possible when wired, but only on FX6. @Sony make a real monitor with full control and SDI connections… we’d definitely buy it!
an update for a7s iii would be nice.. but okay :D
No ZVE1?? its the same sensor as all those other cameras
Hope they extend this to the ZV e1

Since you guys are talking, send the message about firmware upgrade for a7sIII😆
Sony is treating the fx9 like a lost toy at the park, and now it's cold and raining and we're all alone
sad, it doesn't suppory a7s3
Update messed my FX30 up now I have the black screen
And the name of the app is?...
Try monitor+
It would also be great if they could Say they name of the frikin app
Weird how new cameras aren’t supported. Also the FX6 gets the lion's share of features especially in proxy clip management.
It's funny how the wireless lag is still faster than Lumix cameras' HDMI latency
So this means the A7SIII will have a firmware update!!!
As someone who came over to Sony from the s5i for better autofocus I can honestly say that Sony doesnt give a shite about their clients. Im glad I held onto my s5 with its glass because I will heading back to Panasonic who has far superior colour and cameras and actually care about thier client base.
No a7iv? 😢
Please let it support sony zv-e10
no A1 support?! kidding me?
a7C !!! PLEASE !
FX9???
I don't understand Sony's logic. FX9 is very expensive but it's not getting any support. Some older cameras won't get support, which is understandable, but then, there is so many features that they could have got via updates, but they didn't. It really sux.

Sony does such a brutal job with these apps. I can't even see zebras on this thing. 3rd party apps can maintain a reliable wireless connection with Sony cameras, and somehow Sony themselves continue to be incapable. I can connect with my FX30 with an intermittent connection (so basically useless), and of course only FX series cameras work. Back to my third party app I go!
"We're not forgetting about the a7S III." What about my a7 III????
Once again they ignore their FX9 user base and while only a sometimes operator, it’s extremely disappointing to see!
Its worth it for the false colours. The fact they arent baked into the fx cameras is crazy.
It's funny reading all the sony bros listing all the cameras that don't get updated. You guys literally get a new camera every week with a new feature. Why are you shocked when they bring out something new and you don't get it? 😂
Why does a camera control app need to know your exact location? Sounds like shady business.
Freaking finally.
Ah, Sony. Just get a spokesman that actually knows the product. Sheesh!
Too bad they only have false color instead of EF Zone.

But you have to be on the latest firmware which means you lose battery information on non Sony batteries. Screw Sony!
That UI looks like it was beaten with a bat. Typical Sony UI. They'll forget about this app in 6 months anyway.
Just give me focus breathing for goodness sakes!
This app is a joke... Sony does amazing stuff and then does other things on a whim lol.
man sony is SO BAD at naming, god damn.
Terrible design of the app. Even on big phones like Galaxy S23 Ultra ist the live picture not significantly larger than on the camera screen. Monitor+ is much better.
trash software, doesn't work, wouldn't rely on this for anything important
