Sony Creator's App 4.3 Adds 3-Second Motion Photo Transfer for Smartphones

1 articles · Updated · Digital Camera World · Jun 30

Summary

  • Version 4.3 of Sony's Creator's App now lets users transfer 3-second Motion Photo clips from supported cameras to smartphones and tablets.
  • The new length targets social-media creators who need ultra-short clips; until now, the app only supported 15-, 30- and 60-second Motion Photo segments.
  • Users can create those clips either by pressing the camera's Shot Mark button during recording for auto-transfer or by selecting footage afterward in the app.
  • Motion Photo has been available in Creator's App since version 2.3 in 2023, but the update applies only to Creator's App, not Sony's older Imaging Edge app.
