Sony builds Visual Story app for photographers to automatically transfer mirrorless photos to the cloud

It has to be said that the pressure faced by professional wedding photographers today is really unprecedented. Faced with the siege of mobile phones of relatives, friends and even the army of cameras (make room for photographers) ~~Have a meal~~ work), and couples (for wedding photographers, the boss) are increasingly demanding immediacy. Now Sony has come out, which can use AI to help preliminarily filter and classify the photos uploaded by the Alpha camera to the mobile phone in real time. It can even support automatic application of color filters and then automatically upload to the Sony Visual Story app in the cloud.

This app is currently only available in iOS version. In addition to supporting real-time transmission of images taken by cameras (currently supporting a7C, a7R IV, a7S III, a9 and a9 II; a7 III needs to wait for firmware update to support), it also knows how to automatically determine whether there is blinking, camera parameters, rating stars, shooting time, focus position and other image content to classify; the application itself can support viewing by timeline/event classification, and also supports basic photo retouching (supports XMP auxiliary file), and can be set to automatically upload to the cloud in real time to allow customers to browse and download quickly.

Sony believes that such a feature will have the opportunity to become a value-added option for photography services in the future. In fact, the app itself also offers subscriptions starting at US$22.
