About this app

***** Important Update for Magic Sony ViewFinder app ******

1. WE HAVE REWORKED THE APP. We were aware that older Android updates have caused issues with saving still images in the app. We are sorry and we want you to know – this is fixed now. We are rebuilding the app from the ground up to ensure full compatibility with the latest Android versions.

2. TEST THE NEW APP. The new app has less features than it used to have, but we are working to bring them back. We especially need your confirmation that image capture is working reliably on your device. If saving photos works for you now, please let us know in a review or feedback — it helps us enormously.

3. WHAT FEATURES NEXT? The app currently includes live camera preview, frame guides, and image capture. Many more features are on the way. If there is a feature from the current version that you rely on and would like to see prioritized, please tell us in your feedback. Your input directly shapes what we build next.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty.

It simulates the framing of any Sony camera or lens and helps thousands of professionals in filmmaking or photography at the preproduction.

Ratings and reviews

Good, but room for improvement. Why not have it skip to a number when we tap that number? ...currently you have to scroll to the number, which can be a little slow and awkward if we are aiming for a specific number. And having an alert pop up every minute to get me to leave a rating or give me a tip is really annoying. Also, it's time to update your camera list.

I've been using this app consistently for years, and I must say—it’s nothing short of brilliant. As a creative technician working in the field, this tool has become an essential part of my workflow. It allows me to visualize shots, experiment with lens choices, and plan my framing with precision, all without lifting a camera. That’s a gift. Thanks to the developers, this app has empowered countless cinematographers and DOPs to enjoy their craft more deeply. It bridges the gap between imaginatio

This app does exactly what it promises! It is not meant to work with your camera, if that's what you are looking for this app is not it. If, in the other hand, you would like to know what the picture/video would look like with a different lens this is definitely it. It gives you a preview without having to buy the lens or switch your lens on the body of your camera, saving your battery and time. Being able to preview your shot, can lead to better results and save time and money.

What’s new

Still image saving is now fully fixed. On top of that, we've packed in a new set of tools:

• Customizable focal length barrel with index marks
• Full in-device camera control: exposure, focus, flash, white balance
• Tap-to-focus with visual feedback

Thank you for your support — more features are on the way!
