Owners of a Sony Xperia PRO and Xperia PRO-I will get a number of new external camera monitor features, including support for False Color, Live Streaming and Waveform.
I'm using THIS PHONE as my camera monitor! XPERIA PRO & PRO-I update!
A new update gives the Xperia PRO and Xperia PRO-I additional options for when they're being used as an external monitor, usually paired with one of Sony's Alpha cameras. It's been possible to use the Xperia PRO as an additional monitor for your camera since release, but this addition aims to add more direct control via the smartphone.
Both the Xperia PRO and Xperia PRO-I can now use the Waveform feature when used as a monitor, for better control of exposure and RGB balance. While the False Colour feature, used when adjusting iris settings, makes changes caused by adjusting the exposure easier to see, thanks to the larger Xperia display. And because you can livestream directly via the Xperia’s external monitor functionality, you don’t need to tether your camera and phone to your computer to stream.
Specific to the Xperia PRO is the ability to directly control certain Alpha camera functions when using the External Monitor feature. So if you connect your Xperia PRO to a Sony Alpha 1, Alpha 7S III or Alpha 7 IV, you can start and stop recording without touching the camera itself. The Xperia Pro can also display the current EV indication, F-number, ISO values, shooting status and shutter speed.
