The Sony Xperia phone connected to the Sony alpha camera was the main part of Sony’s marketing – this highlights a great feature that allowed phones to work as an external monitor using a monitor and control application (or external monitor application on old devices). This was free, but someone from Sony decided that the company could make a few bucks and now take a subscription.
Sony’s monitor and control application
Here’s what happened here – the wired external monitor functionality is now behind the pavol. You need to pay $ 5 or $ 50 a year to use it. You can still use a wireless connection for free, but it introduces extra legs, which are inappropriate for professional uses (and hobbies do not rotate with Sony alpha attached to an external monitor).
This change was introduced with the version 2.4.0 of the monitor and control application. If you are still v2.3.1 or older – don’t update or you will lose free functionality. And if you have already updated the app, you can find an older version on the APKMIR.
Basic and premium plans for Sony’s monitor and control application
By the way, the monitor and control application has been tested to work with a number of non-sauni devices: galaxies, pixels, ziomis (including tablets), anti-vivos, plus iPhone and iPad. However, the high-size monitoring feature operating on UVC (USB video device class) is specific to Sony Phones. Some features remain free, but it’s a short list – more details on free, basic and premium plans
