The connection to the smartphone (Android, Sony does not have to!) Is quite simple and goes fastest with NFC in smartphones!
The prerequisite for using the PlayMemories Mobile app Aufrüstkamera is what you get (for free) in the AppStore / PlayStore. Unfortunately, this falls entirely off times, especially when the screen of your smartphone runs out in between times. Here the terminal loses also like the connection to the camera.
With the included bracket you can unplug the camera conveniently and above all safely on the smartphone. Fear that dropping the camera need not have. The whole thing does make a rather stable and solid impression.
The camera will take in the light very good pictures. Of course, not perfect but the images are very neatly. Am not a technology or photo Crack, so I can only judge the layman. In a dimly lit room can almost forget the QX30 unfortunately. Here it just makes grainy images. Something you can improve the quality when selecting the app with quality rather than standard, fine. Furthermore, you can change the resolution and aspect ratio (4: 3, 16: 9, 3: 2, 1: 1) Select. The 30x optical zoom can not forget to mention you. Much more settings there is not unfortunately. A flash, there is not also.
The recordings can be saved directly on the phone. Here created the app a folder called PlayMemories Mobile. Memory card in the form of MicroSD or M2 cards can the camera itself are fed. The screen on mobile phone displays the live image is not always liquid, which is of course due to the WiFi connection.
A small LCD display minimal information in monochrome style about whether a memory card is inserted in the camera, and whether a WiFi connection to the Smartphone is.
Processing and feel is very valuable for the rest.
My Conclusion:
The idea to throw such Aufsteckkamera for smartphones on the market is awesome, but a model would I want with a flash. A compact camera can replace the QX30, at least in daylight. For more there is not enough unfortunately.
