INFO

The software runs in the background and won’t appear in your desktop or Start menu.

Step 3: Configure Your Sony Camera

• Turn off Smartphone Connection (if enabled).
• Go to your camera’s menu and set:
  • PC Remote = On
  • USB Connection = PC Remote (not "Mass Storage" or "MTP")
  • USB Streaming = Set it to On.

Step 4: Connect Your Camera

• Use a USB cable to connect your Sony DSLR to your computer.
• The camera should power on automatically and appear as a webcam.

Step 5: Use Your Camera in Stop Motion Studio Pro

• Open Stop Motion Studio Pro.
• Go to Camera Settings → Camera Source.
• Select “Image Edge Webcam” (or “Sony Image Edge” – name may vary slightly).
• You may see a brief delay the first time opening the camera feed — just wait a few seconds.

✅ Done! Your Sony DSLR is now acting as a live webcam feed in Stop Motion Studio Pro. You can take photos, adjust settings, and begin your stop motion animation.

✅ Tips:

• Use a tripod to keep your camera steady.
• Shoot in Manual (M) mode for consistent exposure.
• Turn off Auto Power Off on your camera to prevent interruptions.
• If the feed flickers or drops, try re-plugging the USB cable or restarting the software.
