Sony NEX-5 iPhone Remote Shutter App



bikr posted a proof of concept for Apple for the upcoming Sony NEX-5 remote shutter release app for the Apple iPhone.

The App sends the Sony NEX-5 an IR signal through a transmitter connected to the iPhone. Two shutter release signals can be sent, immediate release and with a 2 second delay. The Sony NEX-5 remote below has the same capability.

The Sony NEX-5 iPhone Remote Shutter App should also be able to control other Sony Alpha cameras with IR receivers. The NexRemote App will be in the iPhone App Store soon.

A suggestion would be to make it an intervalometer App for time lapse photography.

  2. Where do I get a proven description how to build such a dongle?
    I followed the instruction in the app store and also tested some other tutorials but they were all not working with NexRemote.
    Reasons could be that my led is inappropriate (which i ripped off an old remote) or the headphones I used are inappropriate. I actually used some old iPod earphones where I had to burn down the coating before soldering.
    I would be really happy about a good tutorial.
    In the information in the internet is very mixed. Some say: take two leds; some say: you need an additional resistor; some say: use ground an insulated; some say use both insulated wires and leave out ground ....

    1. NEX-C3 or the NEX-3 cameras do not have infrared receivers so this will not work.
