α-Remote v1.1
DiConAbout this app
Developer Description
Bluetooth remote for Sony Alpha Cameras
The app uses Android's companion app feature, meaning that it does not actively scan for your camera, but is only started by Android when the camera has been seen by the system - and the app's service is shut down as soon as it is turned off again. The remote control buttons are there when you need them, but no resources or screenspace are used otherwise.
So far, this app has only been tested with the following cameras:
ILCE-6400 (α6400), ILCE-6600 (α6600), ILCE-6700 (α6700), ILCE-7M3 (α7 III), ILCE-7CM2 (α7C II), ILCE-7M4 (α7 IV), ILCE-7RM3 (α7R III), ILCE-7RM4 (α7R IV), ILCE-9 (α9), ZV-E10
It is expected to work with any Sony camera that supports Bluetooth remotes, including the following models:
DSC-RX100M7, DSC-RX100M7G, ZV-1, ILCE-7M4K, ILCE-7RM4A, ZV-E10, ZV-E10L, ILCE-1, ILCE-7C, ILCE-7CL, ILCE-7SM3, ILCE-9M2, ILCE-6100, ILCE-6100L, ILCE-6100Y, ILCE-6600M, ILCE-6400L, ILCE-6400M, ILCE-7M3, ILCE-7M3K, ILCE-7RM3, ILCE-9
If you have one of those cameras, I would be happy to get feedback on how well it works with this app.

I just tried the app with my a6400 and it works flawless! A fantastic, simple app to control the Sony camera without additional equipment and without wifi pairing!
It worked well with my former Sony Xperia 10 V. But not with my new OPPO phones, the A5 and Find X9 Pro. Both paired with my Sony RX100 M7 on Bluetooth but can't ADD Camera on the app. It recognised other Bluetooth devices nearby but not the RX100.
