2
Select Remote Shooting on the camera
On the camera
The camera displays a USB Connection Mode popup. Select Remote Shooting.

Open FrameFast → Capture tab → tap + → select Sony → select USB Live Capture.
FrameFast detects your camera automatically. Tap to connect.
4
Pick an event and upload mode
On your iPhone
Select the event you’re shooting for, then choose an upload mode:
- Real-time upload — photos upload to the cloud as you shoot. Requires internet.
- Shoot offline — photos are saved locally and uploaded later when you’re back online.
Start shooting
On the camera
Every photo you take on the camera now appears in FrameFast and uploads to your event. Your iPhone keeps its internet connection while connected via USB.

FrameFast doesn’t detect the camera

Unplug and re-plug the USB-C cable.
Make sure the camera is turned on before connecting the cable.
When the popup appears, make sure you select Remote Shooting, not "Image Transfer (MTP)" or "Live Stream".
Try a different USB-C cable — some charge-only cables don't support data.

iPhone battery draining fast

Go to MENU → Setup → USB Power Supply → set to Off. This prevents the camera from drawing power through the USB cable.
