Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Camerama?

Camerama is an app for iPhones and iPads that can simultaneously control many cameras over Bluetooth®. Camerama also includes an Apple Watch companion app when running on an iPhone.

What cameras does Camerama work with?

Supported cameras include the iPhone or iPad’s built in cameras, other instances of Camerama on other iPhones or iPads, and cameras from manufacturers such as Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm that support Bluetooth remote shutter release.

Does Camerama show live view of the cameras?

Yes, for the iPhone or iPad that it is running on, no for the remote cameras.

Does Camerama support video shooting?

Yes.

Does Camerama support Continuous Drive mode?

Yes, so long as the camera itself supports continuous drive mode from a Bluetooth® remote. In our experience, Canon, Sony and Fujifilm cameras support continuous drive, while Nikon cameras will shoot a single shot.

Why doesn’t Camerama show live view for remote cameras?

Most cameras want the controlling app to connect to the camera’s own WiFi to show live view, so the iPhone or iPad could only connect to one camera at a time if we supported live view on remote cameras. The whole point of Camerama is to shoot many cameras simultaneously, so we are primarily concerned with shutter control.
