Shutter 4.10 adds USB tethered shooting to Sony cameras

The new Shutter – Sony Camera Remote version is available for iPhone and iPad.

What’s New
Shutter now supports wired USB connections for seamless communication with most Sony and Canon cameras, ensuring faster speeds and greater reliability (check compatibility). Tethered shooting offers improved performance for all genres of photography and videography.

External monitoring
Video creators and vloggers can use their iPhone or iPad to preview framing and composition while they are in front of the lens. Large and bright displays of Apple devices provide an easy way to monitor shots on set or in outdoor environments.
Exposure and composition tools like RGB histograms, false color, zebras, grid and aspect ratio overlays are available to help nail down the shot.

Fast photo & video transfer
Transferring lots of high-resolution photos can be slow with Wi-Fi modules built into cameras. USB allows photographers to quickly backup and share their work.

Real Estate
Having a large screen with composition tools allows real estate photographers to precisely frame their shots, and move quickly around the set without worrying about Wi-Fi connectivity.

Try out the new version

USB support works with any iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or newer. iPad and iPhone with an USB-C port can be connected directly to the camera.

Owners of Lightning port iPhone (pre iPhone 15) need to purchase a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. It is important to note that a Lightning to USB cable included with the iPhone will not work. An adapter is required.

The new Shutter is available for free to all existing subscribers. New users can test the app for free for 7 days, then choose between a $25/year subscription or a $65 lifetime option.

Download Shutter for Sony from the App Store, learn more about Shutter, or check camera compatibility.

14hours left to gran the new Roller Pro Carry-On Luggage by Peak Design that raised 12+ million dollars on Kickstarter (Click here).

The companies Vexcel and Ximea have just announced their new industrial camera using the new Sony 247mp medium format sensor. Don’t think we are going to see that sensor in a more classic camera for photographers.

Sony lenses keep “disappearing” from BHphoto. Now we have three lenses that are no more available for reorder:

• 40mm f/2.5 G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 28-60mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-300mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 24-240mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-350mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/2.8 macro -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 12-24mm G FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 70-200mm G FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 135mm f/1.8 GM -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/2.5 FE -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 400-800mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 10-20mm E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 11mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 15mm f/1.5 G E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 16-55mm G E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 18-105mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 18-135mm G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 24mm f/2.8 G -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 30mm f/3.5 macro -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 50mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon
• 35mm f/1.8 E -> few lenses still in stock at Amazon

UPDATE: Also Adorama marked some lenses as “closeout”:

• 70-300mm
• 12-24mm
• 24-240mm
• 16-55mm
• 70-200mm G II

Again also those lenses are manufactured in China. The pattern is clear…

I would strongly suggest to order the lenses you need now before you these are gone: Here are the links to the E-mount lenses at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto.

Sony updated “older” cameras like the ZV-E10 (firmware here), A7c (firmware here) and A7III (firmware here). Improvements:

• Allows the camera to display a notification when new software is available
• WPA and WEP functionalities are no longer supported. You will no longer be able to select WPA or WEP when connecting to Wi-Fi. Please use the more secure WPA2 moving forward
• Improves the operational stability of the camera
  Note: This update is only available for Windows and macOS. A memory card version is not provided.

Nice to see Sony updating an old model! We want to see more of that :)

UPDATE: I made a mistake and initially wrote A7rIII instead of A7III. Sorry for that!

Thanks to the tipster ;)
