Wireless Connection Steps (Newer Cameras)

You can connect the app wirelessly to Sony cameras released after 2020. If your camera is older, you can still connect wirelessly but will follow different setup steps.

Any time you move to a new Wi-Fi network, you must follow the full setup steps to reestablish the link between your camera and the iPad. If you have already paired your devices and are staying on the same network, you can bypass the full process by following the "Using a Known Camera" instructions below.
