Connect your Sony camera and iPhone via Wi-Fi
To transfer photos from your Sony camera to your iPhone wirelessly, you can use the built-in Wi-Fi feature on your camera. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to connect them:
Step 1: Enable Wi-Fi on your Sony camera
Go to the settings menu on your Sony camera and locate the Wi-Fi option. Turn on the Wi-Fi feature and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a Wi-Fi network on your camera.

- Transfer all photos: If you want to transfer all the photos from your camera to your iPhone, you can skip the selection process and transfer them all at once.
