Using Live Logging Functions; Using The Wi-Fi Remote Commander - Sony PMW-400K Operating Instructions Manual

Using Live Logging Functions

The Live Logging function allows you to record
shot marks using a computer while you are
shooting. That is, you can use a computer to
record shot marks on the video being shot while
you are monitoring the video output from this
camcorder.
Using the Wi-Fi Remote
Commander
When a Wi-Fi connection is established between
a device such as smartphone, tablet, PC, etc., and
the camcorder, the Wi-Fi remote commander
appears on the device screen and the device can
be used as a remote commander.
You can start/stop recording, adjust iris/focus/
zoom, etc., with a Wi-Fi connected device. This
function is useful for setting the camcorder in a
remote place, such as the top of a crane, etc.

Notes
• Some serial lenses cannot be controlled from the Wi-Fi
remote commander. With any of such lenses mounted
on the camcorder, even when you try to perform focus/
zoom control from the Wi-Fi remote commander, the
focus/zoom setting value displayed on the Wi-Fi
remote commander continues to be [0].
• Even when a lens controllable from the Wi-Fi remote
commander is mounted on the camcorder, zoom
control from the remote commander is not possible if
the servo function for the zoom operation is disabled
on the lens.
• When a remote control unit is connected to the
camcorder's REMOTE connector and the white
balance memory setting on the camcorder is other than
"A (memory A)," turning the Wi-Fi remote
commander on or off may cause the color to change.
• When a remote control unit is connected to the
camcorder's REMOTE connector, that unit has control
priority and therefore the Wi-Fi remote commander
cannot work.
To display the Wi-Fi remote commander
To display the Wi-Fi remote commander on a
device screen, settings are required on both the
device and camcorder.
