Just wanted to thank you for your assistance with setting up this app with my FX6.

Thank you!!! I have been searching for this everywhere!

Thank you for the explanation, this worked for me.

You make really good content

thanks for sharing! Very useful!

Well done 👍

Is it just me or is there no way to set the camera date/time using the CBM app? This feature is so helpful when using the FX3 and other Alpha cameras as it syncs the time for all of them.

Love your videos! Question: So, however I choose to setup(compose) my shot through the app, that same composition is automatically applied to that shot via the Sony camera...including the focus and picture profile?

Thank you very much and this is a very interesting question. The image section of what the camera sees and records is identical to the image section you see in the app. The colors in the app are independent of the recording in the camera, whether you get a view Lut displayed there or not, depends on whether you have activated „MLUT“ on page 5 in the quick menu or not. The focus you set in the app is of course identical to that of the camera, but you won’t really be able to estimate the sharpness in the app because the resolution is too low for that. You can change much of the camera settings in the app, but by far not all of them. In particular, you will find settings that you would like to change more often during the shoot, such as iso, Iris, ND and focus, but special settings such as the choice of the codec or HDMI output settings you have to make in the cameras menu.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for you. I just checked again and have not found an option to design the menu items myself or the like. I can’t think of more than saying that you may not have the latest version installed right now. I have installed the app on several devices (Tablet & Phone) and cameracontrol 2 Is available everywhere. However, they are all iOS devices, how it looks on Android, I don’t know.

Update: Sony has released a new app called "Monitor & Control" (M&C). Currently, it includes the same options and display quality, and the "old" app continues to function. The login process remains the same.

@@thomaskistler4274 Supposedly, the new M&C App works from firmware version 3.00 onwards, but having version 4.00 can't hurt. If you can see the Wi-Fi, that's already a good sign. My next question would be at which point it exactly fails. The biggest challenge during setup is that there are two sets of passwords and names. One set is for connecting to the Wi-Fi, and the second set is for accessing the camera.

Can you control it over a network? Mostly control iris in another room from the camera.

@deadendboredom

Жыл бұрын

To my knowledge, there is no web interface like with the FR7. But what you can do: connect the camera to your normal WLAN router and then control the camera with a tablet or smartphone and the app via your WLAN network. For this, don‘t select „Access Point Mode“ in the settings, but „Station Mode“. Then connect the Camera to your network in „ST Mode Settings“ and enter the password and then the communication runs over the network and not directly between the camera and tablet.

I have a question. After connecting the camera with the application I get the following message: "The connected device can't stream to this app for some reasons." Could you help me with this? Thank you so much

@deadendboredom

I haven't seen that message before. First, I would check the basics: camera firmware? Which app are you using? (CBM or M&C?)

can you connect multiple FX6s and monitor them side by side over the app?

Not that I know Update: Perhaps… There's a new multicam switch in the app. I assume it only works if all devices are connected to a router. I'll have to test that out sometime.

Basically as far as the WLAN range is from the tablet and camera. After 10m and through a wall it still goes, from there it becomes more unreliable. It is not comparable to a professional Videotransmitter, but I find it surprising how far and how well it works.

I'm stuck at 0.55. There's no sign of the camera in my iphone. A 6s, maybe that's why?

@deadendboredom

The app should actually work from iOS 14 and the 6s should be theoretically compatible with iOS 15. Are you sure that the wifi of the camera is active?

My CBM cannot monitoring when the camera set 24p，do you have this problem？

@deadendboredom

Жыл бұрын

That's very interesting! I just tested it, and at 24p, I actually encounter the exact same issue. Interestingly, it works flawlessly at 23.98. One thing I noticed is that at 24p, we can't change the recording resolution and are limited to 4096x2160, while in other framerates, we can adjust the resolution. I can imagine that might be the reason behind the problem. Let's wait for the upcoming firmware update.

There are two different passwords: the first thing you need is the WLAN password to join the camera’s WLAN. The second password is the one you need together with the user name to log in to the camera after you are connected to the WLAN. The WLAN password can be found under >Network >AP Mode Settings >SSID & Password. The password to log in can be found at >Network >Setup for Mobile App >Setup I hope that can solve the problem

What exactly do you mean by that? There is a way to „tether“ the data via an FTP server, but this seems to be complicated and of course requires a server.

Yes - as soon as it is set up, however, it is very quick to connect to it again, even after the camera was off. On the whole, it’s a bit like connecting a computer to the wireless network... You do that once and not again afterwards.
