## Description

Timelapse - Sony Camera is a Chrome extension that enables photographers to automate interval shooting remotely using your Sony camera’s WiFi mode. With this tool, you can set an initial delay, specify the time gap between shots, and preview photos without physically handling your camera. Perfect for creating timelapse sequences, all captured images are stored directly on your camera's SD card, preserving quality and storage management.

Compatible with a wide range of Sony models including A7 series, RX100, HX series, and more, the extension requires your camera to be in 'Ctrl with Smartphone' mode or paired through NFC. It supports taking pictures even with the device screen turned off, giving flexibility and convenience during shoots. While the app doesn’t create videos, it provides a seamless way to gather photos for timelapse projects. Comprehensive support and FAQs are available through the developer’s website and GitHub repository for ongoing development and user assistance.

## Review summary

Timelapse - Sony Camera app provides effective and simple time-lapse control for many Sony cameras, outperforming some official software. Users appreciate its no-wire, manual control features and RAW support in some cases. However, recurring issues include unstable WiFi connections, app freezes, and lack of support for newer camera models. Screen timeout on phones interrupts sessions, and the app lacks more advanced user settings. Despite bugs, it remains a valuable free tool for Sony users seeking time-lapse functionality not offered by official apps.

### Pros

- Works well with several Sony cameras, providing time-lapse functionality not available in official apps.
- Simple to use once properly connected via camera WiFi; no wires needed for intervalometer function.
- Offers manual control over interval times and shooting modes.
- Allows shooting in JPEG and RAW formats depending on connection method.
- Free app that outperforms some paid alternatives.

### Cons

- Connectivity issues are common; users often struggle to connect to camera WiFi or maintain stable connection during time-lapse.
- App freezes or crashes during time-lapse sessions, causing interrupted captures.
- Phone screen timeout causes connection loss, requiring users to keep screens on.
- Limited camera model support; newer cameras or models like RX0 are unsupported or incompatible.
- Lacks advanced settings and usability features like disabling preview or more flexible interval timing.
