Sony Notes
Sony Notes
a6300/a6500: Fully supported
a6100/a6400: Supported with slower/limited functionality
Video: Sony cameras don't support video capture, so the app uses the iPad camera for slow-mos, boomerangs, and video testimonials
Can't Find Your Camera?
We can't publish a complete list of all supported cameras. The app is free to use, so you can test whether your camera works before purchasing a subscription or spending time on setup.
Supported iPads & iPhones
Device | Connection Method |
USB-C iPad | USB cable or USB-C hub |
Lightning iPad/iPhone | Apple Lightning-to-USB adapter (not a direct cable) |
Recommended Hardware
Lightning devices: Use the official Apple Lightning-to-USB adapter
USB-C devices: Use the Docktech Hub from our [Recommended Hardware] page
Note: Many USB-C hubs won't work - iPads are picky. Get your camera working with a direct cable first, then add the hub.
Keeping Your iPad Powered
To charge your iPad while a camera is connected:
Use a USB-C hub with PD (Power Delivery) input
Use an AC adapter that provides at least 45W
See [Recommended Hardware] for specific product recommendations.
How to Connect
Set your camera to shoot JPG (or RAW+JPG if you want RAW files for later - the app ignores RAW files)
Start the Booth.Events app
Connect your camera to the iPad via USB
Turn on your camera
First-Time Setup
Open Camera Settings in the app at least once. iOS will prompt you to grant permission for USB camera access. Your camera doesn't need to be connected for this step.
