Issue: RAW uploading as JPEG in Capture One

Hello,

I am shooting RAW only images on a Sony a6000. My work is mostly creative self portrait and I fear the remote trigger Imaging Edge Mobile does something that blocks RAW files.

What I'm noticing is any image captured through the Imaging Edge Mobile uploads as JPEG only.  The images I capture behind the lens all upload as RAW.

Do you happen to know if there is a better app for triggering the capture on a Sony a6000.

Or am I moving back to the iphone? ?

I have been trying the Imaging Edge Mobile app with the Sony a7ii camera that I have just bought, and it does as you say, when I shoot still photos from the cell phone (it does not allow me to trigger videos), it sends a 2 mp jpg to the phone, and the image recorded in the camera is a “Fine” jpg quality one, although I have my camera set up to shoot only raw.

The app allows me to compensate the exposure if the camera is set in a mode not being Manual, and to shoot with a 2 seconds delay.

All being considered, I would think that the app was conceived as to be mainly used for recreational purposes. It might be useful if mounting the camera on a tripod, joining a group of friends in front of it, checking the composition and making sure that all the group fits in the screen. Then, to compensate the exposure if necessary, trigger the photo, hide the phone in a pocket (for which action one has 2 seconds if set for shooting with delay), and be photographed while everybody is laughing and having a great time (I am being sarcastic here). Afterwards, one can send the photo to other friends or upload it to Facebook, Instagram, or the like.

It has obviously not been conceived for shooting as if it were tethered (via wifi). A pity. It would have been useful enough for serious shooting if the app would have at least allowed to record in the camera as raw (or jpg at its best quality for those who shoot jpg).

I think I have tried all the apps that are being offered on Google Play that were supposedly created for the purpose. Except for one, I could not manage to have them connect to the camera. The only one that I managed to have it establish a connection with the camera, offered even less capabilities than Sony’s app. I also tried an app that promised to allow shooting tethered Sony cameras via a USB connection (I tried it with my tablet), but I couldn’t establish a connection.

Not that the Sony app is bad, it serves a purpose, but to shoot raw away from the camera and/or not touching it, it seems I’ll have to keep using my RMT-DSLR1 remote control.

      I'm very disappointed With Sony Lately

      By FunWithCameras · Posted

      It seems entirely reasonable that they disable a video mode that requires a bit rate faster than any standard SD card can manage to an SD card (SD cards can be rated V30, V60, or V90) - if you try to record a video mode that would require something faster like a "V200" card then they don't let you.  OK, you have some non-standard hack that pretends to be an SD card, but records faster - seems perfectly sensible that they don't support it considering they look at the card to know how fast a rate the card can handle.  Pretty sure that Sony is protecting users who try to use a slow SD card to record a video mode that requires more speed than the card supports, and Sony has the camera say "you can't do that" rather than fail dismally to try to record it - can you imagine the complaints if the user got a recording that stuttered and captured a few frames then a gap then a few more frames? Feel free to complain, but don't expect sympathy. You tried  something that isn't supported, and it didn't work. As far as I know, Sony cameras are the only ones that support two different formats of cards, AND let you have two matching cards of either format. Every other camera that supports two formats has one of each. There are quite a few cameras that support two matching slots, but they only support one format of card (eg: the Z9 support two CFexpressB cards), so you don't have the option of a second format. I like the flexibility - I don't have have enough CFeA cards to cover everything - I can use CFeA for some and SD for others. Yes, CFexpressA cards were fairly expensive in the beginning (back 4 years ago in the A1), and I paid a fair bit for a Sony 180GB CFeA card. But a few years later I spent the same amount for a Lexus CFeA 320GB card, and just recently I spent almost exactly the same amount for a Prograde 480FB CFeA V4 card (which is over twice as fast to load into the computer). The price falls as there is more competition. Interestingly, measurements have shown that cameras like the Z9 cannot write at full speed to their CFeB cards (presumably because they get really hot - they write only as fast as CFeA speeds 🙂

      Sony A7SIII - Disable vertical video (9:16)?

      By Beck · Posted

      If I press record when holding the camera vertically the video will be saved in 9:16 instead of 16:9 and I can't fint any option to disable that feature? It is really annoying having thumbnails being flipped 90 degrees in the editing software as well as having to flip the clips on the timeline. It is also very annoying that it is flipped when previewing the clip both in editing software but also in any media player. It happens really often when doing run and gun video (documentary style).

      Hybrid shooting

      The picture profiles DO NOT affect RAW files. That's been said three times now. Even if RAW is affected by gamma, your custom settings don't affect each other, they aren't global.  Let's back up a bit. First off, which camera are you using? My A7 IV and A1 both have the ability to have completely separate profiles for video and stills.  Why can't you simply set up your video button with the settings you want and just push it? That's what I do. I can be shooting stills and if I decide to shoot video I just press the button. No need to move any switches or press any other buttons.
