I just got curious about something and made a discovery that completely made my day!
I wondered if Sony ever fixed their garbage Smart Remote app that, among other things, disabled any picture profile that was in use (and refused to let you set one) so I updated one of my older Sony cameras to the latest version of it - still no picture profiles.
BUT then I remembered that people complain that the newer Sony bodies don't have a timelapse function since they no longer have an app store - so I checked on smartphone control and it's no longer an app, but a menu option... and when I connected PM to my A7r III, it kept the goddamn picture profile (and all of my other settings) intact! This is actually huge for vlogging and whatnot since it means I don't need to carry around my SmallHD focus when I want to see myself on the screen - just gotta' find a cheap/small hotshoe smartphone mount (or use an existing 1/4" one with a hotshoe ballhead).
I even tried recording a clip because it seemed too good to be true - but sure enough, when I check it out on the computer after, it looks exactly like the clip I shot without a smartphone connected!
Also, acting as a one-man show (or with a tiny crew) on multicam shoots, this is a game changer for me!

Review in Russian
Man, that would be nice. I got bit by that yesterday - I never record individual clips so long and I forgot - then I was interviewing a man about the cameras that he makes and didn't get the second 20-30 minutes - thankfully all of the important stuff was in the first 30.
Anyone found a solution to remove the 30 min. recording limit on the A7rIII yet? Or at least have the camera show the actual recording time left? Because on my camera, the stated recording time doesn't take into account the 30 minute limit. It would show the full capacity of the card but will stop at some point, without me knowing when.
