One of the coolest features of being a Sony shooter these days is the fact that you can buy and download applications to run on your Sony Mirrorless Cameras, much like you can with your smart phone.
Why is this great? Never mind the fact that if this is your first time and you forgot to add your CC to your account before you started this process, be prepared to do it all over again. There has to be a better way right? Luckily there is! This not only makes the entire process easy, but much MUCH faster as well. This process works with both the latest version of Chrome as well as Internet Explorer on Windows. If you are a mac user, share your experiences in the comments below! Now you will be taken to your profile screen for any applications currently associated with your account.
On the left you will see any cameras you have already connected to your account and on the right, the apps that you have purchased or downloaded. By clicking on each camera, you can see what apps have been registered on what cameras.
Once the file has been downloaded, run the program. After it finishes installing, you may need to restart your computer for the plugin to take effect within IE. This time make sure your Sony mirrorless camera is plugged into your computer and turned on. If all goes well, you will see the following screen. You should also get a run down of the apps found on the connected camera, which will include a notification if any of your apps have an update ready.
If all goes well, it will begin installing the update for you on your Sony camera. There you have it! While these 12 steps might look long on this blog post, they really take seconds each. For those looking to pick up some apps for the first time, I highly recommend the following: time-lapse, Angle Shift Add-on for time-lapse and Touchless Shutter to start.

Instead, they force you to download their installer software, which will then let you purchase the time-lapse app. Just follow their instructions through the install process. Now you are ready to connect the camera to the computer via the USB port on the side. Again, follow the install instructions. When you are finally done, turn the camera off and disconnect it from the computer.
You have now installed Time Lapse functionality onto your camera! But how do you use it? With your upgraded a7S II in hand, press the menu button and scroll over to the applications list under the menu with four boxes for an icon. You should now see Time Lapse as an option here, so select it.
You should immediately be presented with a live view again, where you can compose your shot just as you normally would. But press the menu button, and you will find some significant changes under the hood. Instead of going to the standard menus you are familiar with, you will instead be taken to a custom menu filled with timelapse-specific options.
The first step is to choose a Theme - Options include automatic presets like Sunrise, Miniature, but of course you can always just select Custom. Press enter to select the one you want. You can choose if you want to record straight into a video, which is hands down the most convenient option, or you can simple save a series of stills, which gives you much more resolution and, if you shoot raw, much more color to work with in post.
Set the interval between the frames, set the number of shots you wish to take, and notice how the duration of the final product changes as you do so. Press enter when you are ready to return to the preview screen. If everything is ready to go, press shutter button to start!
