Ratings and reviews

This app worked perfectly with my other phone model, but since I got a new one the app says the QR isn't compatible. My camera is the same model (updated to the most recent version) and nothing else has changed outside of that. I can't connect with WiFi or tapping either. I'm unsure if it's a camera issue, phone issue or both at this point but judging by other reviews, I'm not alone on this one with having connection problems. Very unfortunate.

What the heck? What a worthless app. I've got the AX33 and there isn't any image options or access to settings. You can zoom, rotate or change between video and photo. I have a Panasonic 871 and that app while clunky allows me to adjust the image or change formats. It's a real control app. Sony should be embarrassed by this Imaging Edge Mobile app. Unbelievable. I checked the iOS version and it is just as lame. Worthless junk. Thanks for nothing Sony

Take take photos on phone to camera, but do not transfer or keep those photos. Instead, plug in your camera to computer or other device to transfer the photo. The photos that auto save to your phone are a lower resolution. The photos that you took on the camera are original. Useful if you put on a tripod. A glitch experience though.

What's new

- Improved the issue where the app would terminate abnormally on certain smartphones.
