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.

    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 ....

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

How To Install OpenMemories AppStore

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C
