Shutter is more than just another Sony camera remote. Shoot from a distance, capture unique angles, and stay in the frame for those epic selfies with advanced tools such as exposure bracketing, intervalometer and more.
All from the convenience of your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
With Shutter you can access more of your camera’s controls and manage settings from a distance via Wi-Fi or USB. Check the camera compatibility for the exact features supported by your model.
Used the app for photographing the eclipse (iPad, Sony a7c camera). I was considering buying the Sony remote, but decided to try this instead. It exceded expectations in supplying far more bracketing options than the in-camera settings, and being able to see and set all of the important options (F-stop, SS, ISO, bracketing/intervals) without looking at the camera (mounted at an awkward angle in the tripod).
A feature that I didn’t bargain for was the instant appearance of thumbnails on the screen, showing me what I was actually capturing live, and which you can open to full screen on the fly while the camera is working. All of these features make it much more valuable than a simple handheld key-fob type remote, and well worth the purchase price.
I was worried about connectivity, and during about 2 hours of photographing, had one instance of connection loss. This involves reestablishing connection through the camera (it may have also involved closong and re-starting the app — I can’t remember, as it happened while I was distracted with other tasks). Regardless, an annoyance, but not deal-killing, and also not a huge deal as the app does a good job of remembering previous settings and picking up where it left off.
Also rewarding was the very prompt and personal attention by the developer – makes you feel good about doing business with an actual human being who cares about their product and customers. Thanks Grzegorz!
