Our mobile app for visual content creators enables wireless monitoring, high-precision exposure adjustment, and focus control on the larger screen of your smartphone or tablet

Features of Monitor & Control

Highly flexible shooting style
Use your smartphone or tablet as a wireless second screen for the camera, to set up and control the camera remotely

Precise exposure monitoring*
Your larger smartphone or tablet screen can serve as a waveform monitor, false-colour, histogram and zebra display, supporting more precise exposure adjustments at production
*When using BURANO and FX6, the application must be updated to ver.2.0.0 or later, and the camera body must also be updated to BURANO Ver.1.1 or later, FX6 Ver.5.0 or later

Intuitive focus controls:
Easy access is provided to various focus functions, including touch focus and AF sensitivity adjustment. A control bar on the side of the screen enables intuitive focus setting.

Adjustment of colour settings
Monitor & Control provides control of Picture Profile / Scene file settings, LUT switching, and other operations. Additionally, LUT can be applied in Log shooting so that an image resembling the finished image after post-production can be checked on a larger screen during recording.

Advanced operability delivers ease of use for creators
The frame rate, sensitivity, shutter speed, ND filter*, look, and white balance, which need to be operated frequently during shooting, can be remotely controlled using the monitor of a smartphone or tablet. In addition, the user interface is the same as that of the Sony CineAlta body as represented by VENICE, providing the same operability as the body.
* When using a camera not equipped with an ND filter, the ND filter item will not be displayed and will be left blank.

Multi Camera Monitoring
Up to four cameras can be connected wirelessly to a single iPad, their images displayed and shot, with operations including start/stop recording, and the display of settings list and battery level. Since multi-angle shooting with multiple cameras can be operated from a single device, work that previously required multiple people can now be done by a single person.
* Requires iPadOS 16.0 or later.

Operating environment:
Android Ver 11-14

Remarks:
This application is not guaranteed to work on all smartphones and tablets

A step in the right direction. Pretty stable connection and response times. I could see this replacing an external monitor which would be excellent. The only thing I don't like Is having to toggle between two screens to effectively use the touch focus. If you could touch focus from the main screen where all of your settings are this thing would be at home run. They only major thing I could not find and I don't think is included is focus peaking which would be phenomenal.

On my Sony A7SIII when using Slog3 there is no gamma assist in the app. So it looks flat. There is no option to view with a lut applied to the monitor image and no option in the camera to use the gamma assist with monitor app or an option in that app. Aside from that big issue it's great.

Great app, I love being able to use my Samsung S22+ with my Sony FX6 and be able to remotely monitor, set/change all focus parameters, as well as White balance and shutter speed. The new tools for monitoring are great - false colour, zebra and waveforms are great for how I like to work.
