Hi,

Currently, the Multi Camera function is only available for the Z2. Z3 series and some of the Sony camera products.

You will not be able to connect it to another Xperia unit than the Z2/Z3 series since these are the only Xperia products that supports this function for the moment.

Multi-Camera App

Hi Team,

I was trying to test the Multi-Camera functionality in the recently updated 4.4.4 update on my Z2.

my wife is having a Z1 Compact, i started the Multi-Camera app and it asked me to get the other device connected to NFC, but Z1 compact was never getting added to that.

Maybe is there any other process to do this like pairing or anything before starting the app?

Appreciate your help.

My Z2 has been updated to 4.4.4, and I tried to test out the Multi Camera app with my DSC-HX60v Sony digicam that has NFC function

However upon launching Multi Camera and NFC-touching Z2 with the digital camera, both devices show only connecting and then timeout

This digital camera has been connecting to Z2 via playmemories mobile and smart remote control without issue, only issue is with Multi Camera app

Is there any setting to be done at the digital camera?

Same here.

I have Xperia Z2 with 4.4.4 and multi camera app trying to connect to my RX100ii with no success.

The RX100ii can be remote-controlled via Playmemories Mobile but when connecting to the multi camera app the RX100ii shows a connected state while the phone says "connecting..." but nothing happens.

Can someone please share a list of supported devices (phones cameras etc.) so that we can at least stop trying unsupported devices?

Thx

I called the local Sony Mobile support, but the advice given was to flash the phone again using SUS.

They totally have no idea how to connect the phone to another Sony brand WIFI/NFC digicam

I'm not sure why your local support team said that you should reinstall the latest software since this is something that the digital camera itself needs to support.

Unfortunately, it's hard for us at Sony Mobile to answer which cameras that have this function since the support for the cameras are handled by Sony Electronics. I suggest that you contact Sony Electronics and/or visit their forum to see if you can find further info regarding this function for your camera(s):

Wouldn't it be easier if you talked to them directly?

There should be a way for Sony Mobile to find out which camera supports a feature that Sony Mobile implemented as I believe there IS something in the software that supports cameras and this feature must be based upon some level of exchange between Sony Mobile and Sony Electronics.

If it was a question about third party cameras I would have understood but Sony to Sony communication done by users?

Unfortunately, I do not have any contact person at Sony Electronics. The Multi camera function can also vary, depending on region/firmware and also model of the camera. Thereby, why I'm suggesting that you contact Sony Electronics to get more specific information about your camera and it's specifications.

I have posted this question to the Cybershot communities forum as per the admin's suggestion

Hope that the Admin over there will be able to answer without asking us to find out more from the Sony Mobile division
