Connecting to Sony A7iii DSLR

Post by andk1987 »

Hi,

Been using the app for a while and just realised my camera is listed as supported by the app, i can get my iphone to remotely connect to my camera, control it and download footage/pictures using the sony apps so i know the camera can/is connected to my phone but it doesent show in Harrys lap timer? would love to get this working as the footage quality would be really nice.

LapTimer has access to all videos in Photos app and in its own sandbox. Please check where the Sony app places videos when downloaded. They need to go to Photos app. Videos stored in the Sony app sandbox are not accessible for other apps.

Hi Harry, so is it not possible to control the camera start/stop from the laptimer app so that videos align without messing around?
