what's up guys how you doing my name is
Phillip Skraba I'm here to teach you
about film photography I haven't been
around for a little while after I came
back from America I was just so much
stuff to do I've got a new place I can
film in and I'm gonna be doing a lot of
reviews a lot of reviews I've got so
much stuff to review but today I'm gonna
teach you about how to connect your Sony
a7iii or Sony a7riii to your smartphone
and it's a really really cool function
it's extremely helpful you can shoot
yourself you can you know what I mean
you can film yourself and all you need
is a smartphone let's get to it
right so to do this all you're gonna
need is a smartphone iPhone Samsung
whatever you've got your Sony a7r 3 or
Sony a7 3 and you're going to have to go
online and download Sony's new
application it's been out since April
the temp I believe it's called imaging
edge mobile and it's ridiculously simple
to use it does have a few hiccups
because it disconnects every now and
then and it's not as slowly as you'd
like but it does a great job when it
works so you can either go to App Store
to download it or you can go to Google
Play to download it as I have an iPhone
I'm going to show you how to download it
on the App Store I'm sure it's pretty
similar on Google Play so let me just
show you on the screen what it looks
like if you go to imaging edge sony net
i'm in english obviously here and it
will show you the imaging edge mobile
you can press download at here i'm sure
if you're using a mobile it will direct
you straight to the correct download
page there's also a movie edit add-on I
haven't tried it as soon as I do I'll
let you know and do a film with that so
this is generally what it looks like
let's download it and check it out right
so what you're gonna want to do is go
into the App Store search for imaging
edge and it should find it there you go
imaging edge mobile I already have it
downloaded so instead of download I'm
gonna press open this is what you see
when you open the application in the top
area here you've got Wi-Fi scan NFC or
QR code of the camera and it will
connect it straight away you also can
have location information linkage and
apart from that if you go into settings
you can use copy image size so when you
take a photo it can copy it to your
phone I have 2 megabytes selected pop
net is really nothing else I use now I'm
going to show you how to set up on your
camera and it's really easy so turn your
camera on go into menu at the top go to
network one page one control smartphone
make sure control
smartphone is turned on so with the sony
a7 free and the sony a7r free it's as
simple as going into your smartphone
opening up imaging edge mobile pressing
scan NFC and you literally just gonna
it's somewhere here it's pretty easy
there you go and you press join and
right now I'm connected with the camera
if you pivot sideways
it will also pivot an easier way of
connecting your smartphone to your
camera is by going into the controller
smartphone function going down
connection press Enter
and you have a code scan the QR code so
it's also pretty simple right here
you're gonna press scan QR code little
cameras going to open up and it's as
simple as that
join boom
right so what I'm gonna do now is walk
you through the functions on the actual
phone and I'm gonna attach it to my that
if you can see that Manfrotto smartphone
holder whatever it's called and this
will just be a lot easier for you guys
to see because it's filming off the
screen sometimes you have no idea what
I'm pressing so this way it's gonna be a
lot simpler now that we have the camera
and the smartphone connected this is the
view you're gonna have on your screen if
you press the display it's going to
toggle three times into different views
so it's going to have the view with the
whole image on the screen it's going to
have the view with the settings and it's
going to have the view of the image and
the settings if you press the flip
button it's going to flip the screen
around so that's pretty cool if you
wanna mount your phone upside down
sideways whatever way you want
now if we go into display you can
actually change all your settings here
f-stop shutter speed ISO timer shooting
settings of continuous or single white
balance and that's about it
we press display again we go back to the
view where we've got the image so right
there and settings now if we press menu
and mirror mode which is pretty cool
because I've turned it off now and
everything looks normal so my hands
coming from the correct side that's
really it and if you take a photo so for
example if we switch the camera over to
me there I am
yeah well I don't look too great and if
you press back and as you can see it's
what's actually doing quite a good job
now if you spin it round you'll see that
it sometimes does have a few problems
when it comes to there you go see what I
mean now if we go into film mode you'll
see a little record button comes up we
press it it'll start recording
that's how easy is to control your Sony
with your smartphone isn't that cool
so all in all this is a great
application it does have a few minuses
it crashes every now and then it does
disconnect every now and then it's
nowhere near as smooth flowing as a
monitor though all you need is a
smartphone or need to download is the
free application and you can see
yourself on the monitor you can take
photos of yourself you can film yourself
can you can you clear you can use it as
a little monitor I mean how awesome is
that
you know if you like my film make sure
you think it's down here subscribe like
the film and make sure you ring that
Bell so you get future upstate futures
River future updates on my other films
as of my next couple of films are going
to be starting out a lot of reviews I
have so many things to review that I
think will come in handy for you guys so
yeah catch you on the other side
