Cloud Hosting

Sonys Creator Cloud now allows photos and videos taken with cameras such as the FX3 and FX30to be directly uploaded to cloud storage.

After setting it up in Creators App or on Creators Cloud Web, you can connect your camera to the cloud storage and upload photos and videos directly without needing to do it via your smartphone. You can quickly check your captured images/videos from various devices, and get started on editing.

Huge image data such as high image quality photos and videos are able to be transferred to a smartphone both via Wi-Fi and USB cable. A wired connection provides more stable transfer.

From March 2024 onwards, the 1, 9 III, 7S III, and 7 IV will also be compatible with this function. Please note that to be able to use this feature you will need to perform a software update for the camera you are using.

Sony has four different plans you can choose from. If you own an eligible Sony camera, you can start with a free 25 GB plan. A 500 GB plan is also available for heavy users.

By linking your smartphone to cameras, you can control them remotely from the smartphone. This enables remote shooting, which may be useful for group shots or keeping cameras still in night scenes. You can also check camera battery and media information, set the date, time, or camera name, and more from a smartphone.

LUT files stored in the cloud storage (Creators Cloud) can also be imported to the camera via smartphone without using any PC and SD card.
