Sony is introducing a new wireless remote for its latest Alpha mirrorless cameras. Launched to coincide with the CP+ 2019 exhibition in Japan, the Sony RMT-P1BT is a Bluetooth device that is designed to give remote control over a number of the camera's functions. It has been produced to help control during landscape, architectural, astro and group portrait photography – and has an operating range of 5m.
With five different buttons, the remote control offers focus buttons for manual control over subtle focus changes, a remote C1 custom button that can be adjusted based on user preference. It also includes Start/Stop movie recording and control over power-zoom or digital-zoom functionality, making it the ideal accessory for remote movie shooting. For those shooting in ‘Bulb’ exposure mode, the remote commander can be set to open and close the shutter with respective clicks of the main button, eliminating the need to press and hold the button throughout exposure time
