Picture transfer Sony NEX-5R

[JesperZimmer]

Hi everyone

I have just bought a used Sony NEX-5R camera mostly because of to the possibility of wireless picture transfer via WIFI. However, I cannot seem to get it to work.

I have downloaded the SONY PlayMemories Online-app from Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/playmemories-online/id401597656) on my iPhone 8.

When activating WIFI picture sharing on the camera, I go to WIFI-settings in order to login to the camera WIFI. After this, I open the SONY app. From there, nothing happens on the phone. On the camera, it says "sharing...". I have tried almost everything - including making sure that the iPhone is still connected to the wifi - nothing happens.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Best,

Jesper.

Hi Jesper,

Welcome to the community.

I'll see if I can find this out for you. Maybe someone else in the community can help in the meantime.

Thanks,

Hi Pascale,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome! Hopefully, together, we might find out what is wrong.

Looking forward to hearing from either you or others in here.

Best,

Jesper.

PlayMemories Mobile/Online is the old app. You should use the newer, more polished Imaging Edge Mobile app instead. Here's the direct link from Sony's website: https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/iemobile/en/
