Great App!!!!
Shutter is a terrific camera control app. The developer behind the app is responsive and very communicative. I bought a new (but very dated) Sony A-7 Ii and it had sone peoblems networking with the App, but the developer updated his code and i downloaded the Beta and it now works. 2 thumbs up for Shutter and the developer!!!
Works Great
Love the app. Sonys app is quirky and often disconnects. This app has been very stable. There are a lot of quirks to get things to work that have to do with the Sony camera, but not the apps fault.
Like you can’t have back button focus to use touch to focus…. You have to have mechanical shutter to use bulb setting. Both of these I believe are for my A9 II and A7rIV.
5 stars for letting me use my camera almost as good as a canon. Love Sony, but it is lacking in this area.
Customer Service
Incredible Customer Service. In this day and age when it’s so difficult to get someone to help when you need it most, it is quite refreshing to work with a company like Shutter who has incredible and caring people that want their customers to have the best experience when engaging with their product. I can tell you first hand that when I experienced an issue, I received a response within minutes and the issue was resolved. For the record, it was my fault. The app worked as it should and incredib
Easy to install and works perfectly with my a7RV
0 issues. Up and running in a couple minutes.
Sony A7 IV solution
To use this app with Sony A7 IV, go to network settings and then to network options and then disable Access Authen. Setting. Then the app will work again with 2.0 firmware.
Works well with Sony a6000
This app works very well with Sony a6000 camera. It is better, easier to use and set than Sony’s Imaging Edge Mobile. If you have trouble with the Sony app, try this one!
The Sony Camera Remote App
This app has grown and improved as years have passed. Sony’s own app doesn’t even come close to comparing.
Terrific app, excellent service
Using Shutter with my A7R4 and A1. Flawless with the A7R4 and I particularly like the combined focus+exposure bracketing mode. Really simplifies this process. Right now doesnt quite work on the A1 but I had an amazing interaction with the developer who gave me full explanations of what was happening, and their plan to make this work in future versions. Extremely responsive developer! I look forward to using the intervalometer mode for astrolandscape. This is a really nice app.
Great, but with some Bugs
More functional than Imaging Edge app, when connected Works wonderfully when connected even with Apple Watch. When trying to connect, sometimes it’s wonky. At times, laggy on screen and touch functionality especially when using Bluetooth. Moreover, you need Bluetooth [on] to connect to your iPhone with Sony A7IV and to use Apple Watch to use remote shutter. With or without Bluetooth, on Sony ZV-E10, it’s extremely laggy! Ironically, they recommend to turn Bluetooth [off] to avoid lagginess. All
Fantastic for twilight shots
Worked great with my A7Riii. I can set the intervals and not have to babysit camera. Great App
So far, so good! Just watch out for any VPN software!
I haven’t had a chance to fully test the app, yet, but I have certainly tested the support and it is awesome!
I couldn’t get the camera to connect. The wifi would work, but the camera couldn’t ever be found. It turns out that it was because of my VPN software. Once I figured out how to set the camera as a “trusted” network, it worked flawlessly.

Perfect!
This app is absolutely perfect, it connected to my Sony a7iv very easily and there’s were no glitches while using it. I personally use this app for taking self portraits of myself and family and when using Sonys built in IntervalTimer you are limited to using one shot focus and it doesn’t refocus between photos. With this app you can use continuous focus and it refocuses for every photo!
Awesome and Easy
This app is thoughtfully designed and well executed. It’s worlds better than the Sony app.
I use it for cycling photography self portraits and it’s wonderful to be able to control the camera from my phone, mounted to the handlebars.
Thanks very much for making this app!
