Sony debuts 5G portable data transmitter for real-time photo and video transfers

 

Most modern day cameras have the ability to wirelessly transfer photos and videos. For the most part, it is only to a local smartphone or laptop. If you're looking for the ability to transfer photos and videos to a remote server or location, Sony might have something for you in the form of the Sony PDT-FP1 portable data transmitter.

 

One of the key features of the portable data transmitter is the use of 5G technology. This offers users lightning-fast transfer speeds. The Sony PDT-FP1 allows photographers to send their media files directly to an FTP server or even to streaming platforms like YouTube. This opens up new avenues for sharing and collaboration, whether you're a streamer, photographer, or journalist.

 

Speaking of 5G connectivity, the PDT-FP1 offers support for various 5G bands, dual SIM, and eSIMs. This versatility ensures that users can maintain a stable connection regardless of their location. The data transmitter can even automatically select the best network based on current conditions.

 

The PDT-FP1 will work with a bunch of Sony cameras. It also has a touchscreen display that allows photographers to monitor the transfer status in real-time. It also enables them to continue capturing photos and videos without interruption. Sony has also built a cooling fan into the PDT-FP1 that allows it to remain cool while it is in operation.

 

If you think that this could be something you might have a use for, the Sony PDT-FP1 is priced at $1,099.99. It is also slated for release in the US come early Summer 2024.


Sony Xperia 1 VI camera specs leaked ahead of MWC 2024 debut

 

Sony launched the Xperia 1 V back in 2023 where it came with a brand new Exmor T sensor. Now according to the latest leaks, Sony will follow up with a successor in the form of the Xperia 1 VI at MWC 2024. The handset is expected to maintain the same sensors but with some changes to its lens.

 

According to the post on X by @INSIDERSONY, the main camera will feature an Exmor T 1/1.4 48M 1.12μm lens with a 24mm focal length. It is accompanied by an ultrawide 14-18mm Exmor T 1/2.7 48M 0.6μm camera, and a telephoto 70-135mm Exmor T 1/2.7 48M 0.6μm camera.

 

 

Based on the specs of the Xperia 1 V, the Xperia 1 VI's cameras will have a slightly wider aperture for the main lens and increased range for both the ultrawide and telephoto. It's a bit odd that Sony isn't using their own 1-inch sensors for the phone. The company worked with Xiaomi to launch 1-inch sensors for the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, so we're not sure why they aren't using their own technology.

 

We would honestly much prefer to see a wider sensor, but if the reports are accurate, the changes to the Xperia 1 VI's cameras are still a good thing. Users can look forward to faster and more accurate focusing, better low-light shooting, and more. Take this leak with a grain of salt, but we should have more details at MWC 2024 next month.


Sony's new app turns your phone into a wireless video monitor

 

Pretty much all cameras these days come with a screen on the back that allows users to see what they're shooting. While the viewfinder works just fine, having an extra screen on the back lets users reach more interesting angles without having to hold their cameras up to their faces.

 

That being said, these screens are pretty small, which is why if you own a Sony camera, you might be interested to learn that Sony has announced a new mobile app called Monitor and Control that effectively turns your smartphone into a wireless video monitor.

 

There is a reason why whenever you see the behind-the-scenes of movies or TV shows, there are multiple monitors used. This is because having a larger display makes it easier for the director to see what's in the frame, compared to the tiny screens on the back of cameras. Since our phones and tablets have considerably larger displays, this app makes perfect sense.

The app will show users detailed information like a waveform monitor, a false color display, and a histogram, and depending on your camera, it will also show precise exposure monitoring. From the app, users will also be able to control things like starting and stopping recording, making adjustments to white balance and ISO, and more.

 

Unfortunately, at the moment the app only works with cameras like the Sony FX6, FX3, and FX30 cinema cameras, and it is unclear if there are plans to eventually bring support to Sony's other digital cameras like the A-series of mirrorless cameras, so we'll just have to wait and see.
