Single Camera View

• Do not operate the camera body while performing operations in Remote Camera Tool.
• The supported operations differ depending on the camera model. For details, refer to “Supported cameras.”
• Single Camera View is available only when using a computer.

• A. Focus operation

  This function is used for DMF (direct manual focus) mode and MF (Manual Focus) mode.

  • In order to use Remote Camera Tool to switch the AF mode to DMF or MF, the focus mode switch of the lens must be in the “AF” position.
  • When the focus area is set to Flexible Spot, the focus frame moves to the position where you click on the image.
  • Slide the arrows in the center toward the edges to increase the focus speed. (The area near the center is slower, and the speed increases as you slide toward either edge.)

• B. Touch operation

  By clicking on a part of the image, you can operate the camera just like you would operate the touch screen on the camera itself.
  To cancel tracking, click [Cancel].

• C. Zoom operation

  • Used for zoom operations. Compatible with power zoom lenses.
  • Slide the arrows in the center toward the edges to increase the zoom speed. (The area near the center is slower, and the speed increases as you slide toward either edge.)
  • You can also set the zoom speed during shooting standby on the camera.

    On the camera, select MENU → (Shooting) → [Zoom] → [Remote Zoom Speed] → [Speed Type] → [Fix], then choose a setting under [ Fixed Speed STBY] → [1 (Slow) to 8 (Fast)].

• D. Saving and loading the focus position and zoom position

  You can save up to five sets of lens information, focus position, and zoom position and load the saved setting values when needed.

  • It is not possible to save this information if the mounted lens is not supported or when using digital zoom.

• E. AF Active

  When [Touch Control] is enabled and [AF Active] is set to ON, AF will work just by clicking anywhere in the Live View.

• F. REC

  We recommend that you put the camera into still image mode during shooting standby to prevent the temperature of the camera from rising.

• G. Shooting images

  Click [CAPTURE].

  Once the release is complete, “Captured” is displayed to the upper left of the button, and the Live View frame turns green.

  • * When using the ILCE-9M2, a green frame will be displayed when the still image save destination is set to [Camera Only].
  • * On the iPad, you can check shot images by opening the Files app and going to RCT → Pictures under "On My iPad."

• H. APS-C / Full Frame Switch

  Select APS-C to record with the APS-C angle of view.

• I. Shutter Speed: Variable Shutter

  When you select [Variable], the following dialog appears. Setting it to ON allows you to adjust the shutter speed.

  When you click [Anti-flicker Tv Scan], a shutter speed with little flicker is detected automatically.

  

• J. Camera UI

  Allows you to display images displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor, check messages, and operate some of the buttons on the camera body.

  * Peaking Display on the shooting standby screen and some settings are not displayed.

  

• K. Settings

  Displays the Function window, allowing you to perform operations such as selecting the FTP server and formatting an SD card. (Refer to "Function window" below.)

• L. DISP

  Allows you to switch between the space-saving Live View mode and normal Live View mode.

* The items displayed differ according to the camera model.

• A. Dual-slot recording menu

  You can enter separate settings for each slot when connected to a camera.
  To use these settings, select MENU → (Shooting) → [Media] → [Rec. Media Settings] → [Recording Media] → [Sort Recording] on the camera beforehand.

• B. Setting the filename and file No.

  To specify your desired filename or file No., change them in these dialog boxes.

• C. Specifying the save location

  Specify the save location of shot images.
  You can set a different location to save for each camera.

• D. FTP transfer function

  You can select an FTP server already registered to the camera from Server Setting.

  [Edit]: You can edit the setting values of the FTP transfer function.

  • Use [Export] to store edited setting values on the computer and [Import] to import setting values stored on the computer to the camera.
  • After importing setting values using [Import], the camera restarts.

• E. Live View Transfer Protocol

  You can change the communication method used by Live View.

• F. Formatting the SD card

  This function is available only when an SD card is inserted in the camera, and when [Still Image Save Destination] is set to [Camera Only] or [PC+Camera].
