This app is free and open source.

The app uses Android's companion app feature, meaning that it does not actively scan for your camera, but is only started by Android when the camera has been seen by the system - and the app's service is shut down as soon as it is turned off again. The remote control buttons are there when you need them, but no resources or screenspace are used otherwise.

So far, this app has only been tested with the following cameras:
ILCE-6400

It is expected to work with any Sony camera that supports Bluetooth remotes, including the following models:
DSC-RX100M7, DSC-RX100M7G, ZV-1, ILCE-7M4, ILCE-7M4K, ILCE-7RM4A, ZV-E10, ZV-E10L, ILCE-1, ILCE-7C, ILCE-7CL, ILCE-7SM3, ILCE-9M2, ILCE-6100, ILCE-6100L ,ILCE-6100Y ,ILCE-6600, ILCE-6600M, ILCE-7RM4, ILCE-6400L, ILCE-6400M, ILCE-7M3, ILCE-7M3K, ILCE-7RM3, ILCE-9

If you have one of those cameras, I would be happy to get feedback on how well it works with this app. ## Similar extensions and apps - [α-Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.staacks.alpharemote) — 4,755 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Sony Camera Remote Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mardcode.sonycameracontrol) — 121,541 users, 2.67 / 5 - [RCCDroid Remote shutter Sony](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.glensk.RCCDroid) — 108,256 users, 3.30 / 5 - [Alpha Camera Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.majinsoft.alphacameraremote) — 19 users - [Sony Camera Bluetooth Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.crsdahl.sonycameraremote) — 3,900 users - [Intervalometer for Sony](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.booman.intervalometersny) — 214 users - [Camera GPS Link](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.kutner.cameragpslink) — 235 users - [Remote Camera Utils](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.redinput.remotecamerautils) — 10,826 users - [IR remote for Sony camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kochini.android.sonyirremote) — 10,464 users - [Remote Control Sony](https://chrome-stats.com/d/hajar.remotecontrol.sony) — 76,759 users - [Remote for Sony Bravia TVs](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.ionic.sonyremote) — 7,329 users - [IR Remote Control Sony TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mo_dev.irremotecontrolsonytv) — 152,551 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dicon.btcamremote)
