This video shows how to use a Bluetooth remote control device to control some operations of the Sony a7C camera. The remote used for demonstration is the Sony RMT-P1BT. The other remotes shown, with features similar to that remote, are the Sony GP-VPT2BT and the JJC BTR-S1.

The video also shows my comprehensive guide to the use of the Sony a7C camera. More information about that book is available at whiteknightpress.com/.

Helpful thank you. The camera obtains focus before taking the picture, correct? So in other words just like pressing the shutter on the camera.

Hello, is mandatory every times disabile GPS data from phone? Same for pairing? I use phone connected for geo data. Thanks.

Stupid question...Do you always leave it paired or just manually cut off Bluetooth from your camera

Hi where can I order your book. And do I reconnect the remote the same way every time or will the camera recognize it all the time as long as the Bluetooth fxn is on? Thanks
