How it works

From the camera to the camera roll, in three steps.

  1. 01Connect

    Pair once. Pick up anytime.

    Connect with a QR code, NFC, or Wi-Fi details. Save your camera and reconnect with a tap.

    The Add Camera screen with Scan QR Code and Scan NFC Tag buttons, camera name, model, and Wi-Fi fields.

  2. 02Explore

    Find the ones you love.

    Browse by date, zoom into the details, and swipe across a whole set to select it. Your camera’s library, with a familiar feel.

    A photo grid grouped by day with previously imported photo badges, six landscapes selected, and a Save to Photos button.

  3. 03Keep

    Ready for your camera roll.

    Save photos and MP4 videos to Apple Photos, or share straight into another app. Long saves keep going in the background, and you can follow each one as it happens.

Made for your Sony Alpha. Your photos stay yours.
