BT remote is a new way to remotely control your Sony camera! No need to buy separate hardware remotes which you always need to remember to bring along. You can now use your smartphone, a device that you always carry with you!
Unlike other solutions, BT remote uses Bluetooth for communication with the camera and this comes with a certain set of benefits which you can read about below. Whether you are a creator, professional, or hobbyist, you can use BT remote as the perfect companion to your Sony camera.

What's so special about BT remote?
- Keep ALL camera features active while using remote control. Most notably, you get to keep Eye AF! When using WiFi-based solutions, your camera is forced to disable certain crucial features like Eye Auto Focus. This is not the case with BT remote which allows you to keep everything enabled!
- Control optical zoom on power zoom lenses and do this with proper zooming speed. When using any WiFi-based solution, you will notice that zooming is so slow that it is almost unusable. BT remote to the rescue!
- Control zoom, even on “prime” non-zoom lenses, by utilizing Sony's Clear Image Zoom.
- Pair all your cameras and connect to the one you want without having to re-pair again.
- Allow PC remote to stay active so you don’t need to pick between smartphone control and PC control.
- Very simple initial setup.
- Very fast boot-up and camera connection times. Don’t miss the action! We took special care to minimize the time needed between opening the app and being ready to press the shutter button!
- Low power consumption. Your camera will last longer compared to using WiFi-based solutions!
- Complete substitute for Sony's Wireless Remote Commander hardware remote (RMT-P1BT).
How does it work?
It is very simple for you to get up and running. For the first time you need to perform 3 simple steps and from the next time on it is as simple as opening the app, automatically getting connected and start capturing images!
- Enable Bluetooth on your camera and enter pairing mode once (only once)
