From camera to pocket, over Wi-Fi
α6k Transfer joins the Wi-Fi of Sony α6000-series cameras directly and moves your photos and videos to your phone. No cables, no cloud. Set the camera to “Select on Smartphone” → “Displaying”, pick items from the list, and save them to your gallery. Transfers continue in the background.
