Focus settings and wireless operation

Touch Focus, AF sensitivity, and other focus settings* can be configured intuitively. One advantage of the wireless connection is that another operator can tap a subject being monitored on the tablet or smartphone to track the subject using Real-time Tracking, allowing the camera operator to concentrate on moving the camera without worrying about focusing.

• *Configurable operations depend on the connected camera.

Control bar for intuitive focusing

The control bar on the side of the screen allows intuitive control of the focus position when shooting video. By assigning "Focus" to the control bar and setting the upper and lower limits of the focus point in advance, you can stop the focus at the desired position. In addition, the control bar display can be magnified by up to 350%, making it easy to adjust the control bar to suit the operating range and focus precision.
The 'Iris' can also be set on the control bar*. Detailed Iris settings can also be made on the larger screen.

• Supported cameras as of September 2024: BURANO, FX6, FX3, FX30, α7R V
• Supported cameras after October 2024: α7 IV, ZV-E1
• Requires the latest system software update

Focus Map*

Focus information (depth map) can be superimposed on the large screen monitor of a smartphone or tablet to visually and intuitively grasp the in-focus and out-of-focus areas. By visualising the depth setting of the entire image (determining the subject position and depth of field) and the focus position and depth setting during rehearsal, the system provides powerful support for shooting high-definition images and shooting with a shallow depth of field using bright lenses.

• Supported cameras: FX6, FX3, FX30
• Requires the latest system software update

• This function is not available in the following situations: when the camera is displaying clips or during replay operation; when using frame rates below 6fps or above 150fps; when no lens is mounted; when a lens that does not support phase-detection AF is mounted; or when a mount adaptor is used.

Remote operation of frequently used functions during shooting

The frame rate, sensitivity, shutter speed, ND filter*, look, and white balance, which need to be operated frequently during shooting, can be remotely controlled using the monitor of a smartphone or tablet. In addition, the user interface is the same as that of the Sony CineAlta body as represented by VENICE, providing the same operability as the body.

• When using a camera not equipped with an ND filter, the ND filter item will not be displayed and will be left blank.

Switch between shutter speed and angle display

The display on the monitor of your smartphone or tablet can be switched between shutter speed and shutter angle, allowing you to shoot in the way you find easiest.

• Supported cameras: BURANO, PXW-Z200/HXR-NX800, FX6, FX3, FX30
• Requires the latest system software update

Marker display

Markers such as aspect markers and safety zones are displayed on the monitoring screen. This allows you to check the angle of view and composition while shooting.

De-squeeze display supported

During video recording, video squeezed at the anamorphic ratio of the lens is de-squeezed (corrected) and displayed on the mobile device. De-squeezed images can be displayed on a smartphone or tablet in real time according to the anamorphic ratio* of the lens.

• Ratio can be selected from 1.25 / 1.3 / 1.33 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0.
