The path to the saving destination is shown: Photos/video recordings are saved directly to the tablet. When “Save options” is set to “On”, location information can be added to the images. In “ Save options”, you can select whether or not an image reviewed on the tablet is also saved to the camera. In “ Camera information”, the user can check which camera is currently connected. The self-timer feature lets you trigger the camera instantly or with a delay. The moving image is displayed live on the screen of the tablet.Ĭhanges to the camera’s most important settings can be made with the menu button. The image is sent, and smartphone and camera are connected via Wi-Fi. The easiest way to do this is by scanning the QR code of the Sony camera by starting PlayMemories Mobile on the tablet and snapping a picture of the QR code with the app. Next, the connection between camera and tablet needs to be established. Since we had an android tablet, we used the Google Play store for the download, which was quick and easy. First, the app needs to be downloaded to the tablet. The communication between camera and tablet is wireless via Wi-Fi. We used an android tablet by Samsung and a Sony Alpha 6500D for our test of the PlayMemories Mobile app. These days, a wide selection of powerful tablets that offer a great price-performance ratio is available. A high-resolution smartphone display or a large tablet screen allow the user to precisely adjust the focal plane in Live View mode, which is extremely convenient and makes working with the microscope a lot easier. Here, an external monitor is the perfect solution. In most cases, the camera is attached to the photo tube of the microscope – the screen is small and located too high above the user.
When cameras of the Sony Alpha series are used for microscope or macroscope photography, especially in professional environments, the ability to control them remotely is a key element for an efficient workflow.
