Store description excerpt
Snap Remote turns your iPhone into a wireless remote for cameras that speak the classic Camera Remote API over Wi-Fi. Live view, shutter release, video recording, every setting the camera actually allows, and an interval mode built for the real timing of a camera. No cable, no account, no cloud. SEE WHAT THE CAMERA SEES The live image comes straight from the camera, including the focus and face frames it reports. Fire from the screen or with the volume buttons, which is what you want when the phone is clamped to a tripod leg. After each shot the preview lands in the corner and one tap saves it to your photo library. Video recording works the same way. ONLY THE CONTROLS THAT REALLY EXIST Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, focus mode: the list is built from what the camera permits at that moment. With the mode dial on Intelligent Auto the exposure values are locked, and the app shows them anyway, with a lock icon and a note on what to change. That is more honest than making them disappear. WHAT YOUR CAMERA CAN DO, IN BLACK AND WHITE The range of the Camera Remote API does not depend on the camera model but on the version of the Smart Remote Control app installed on the camera. On the factory version the exposure values are read-only; with the old PlayMemories upgrade they are fully controllable, and that store closed in 2021. So Snap Remote hard-codes no value lists at all. On connect it asks the camera what it implements and builds the interface from the answer. A parameter your camera reports but cannot set appears visible and locked; one it does not know at all does not appear. The Camera Info tab shows you the result: version, API reach and every single function your camera reported. A TIME-LAPSE THAT LISTENS TO THE CAMERA Depending on the subject, a shutter release takes one to three seconds until autofocus, exposure and preview are through. A rigid timer stacks up requests in that window until the camera gives up. Snap Remote waits for the answer instead, subtracts the time spent from the interval and sleeps only the remainder. If a frame takes longer than the interval, the sequence runs as fast as the camera can and the app tells you so. For a time-lapse through the blue hour that is the difference between a sequence and an error message. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS No internet needed, and none available: the camera runs its own Wi-Fi and is the router inside it, so iOS will report "No Internet" while you are connected. That is correct. The app keeps the screen awake during intervals and video instead of faking a background mode that iOS would not honour. Intervals below two seconds get unreliable, which is a limit of the camera API, not of the app. There is no access to the memory card: what gets transferred is the preview image the camera offers after each shot, at full JPEG resolution on an upgraded camera. RAW stays on the card. And the camera allows exactly one live view connection, so a second app stre
