What Android tablets do you recommend for your photo booth app?2018-08-08T16:10:52+00:00

We recommend using the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1″ or the Huawei Mediapad M3 Lite 10. Both of these tablets feature Wi-Fi Direct which is necessary for our Sony camera integration. Any Android tablet with Wi-Fi Direct and Android 7 or newer should work.

However, if you plan to use the tablet internal camera, Wi-Fi Direct is not a necessary feature. We suggest the Huawei Mediapad M3 Lite 10. It features an 8MP front facing camera and can take great photos in sufficiently lit areas.

Pixi, our photo booth app is currently only supported on the Android operating system. We do have plans to release a version for IOS in the future so check back.

What cameras are supported by your photo booth software?2018-08-08T16:11:15+00:00

Our photo booth app can use either the internal tablet camera or can wirelessly tether to several Sony cameras.

We also support:

  • Sony Alpha a5000 Mirrorless Digital Camera
  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 Digital Camera
  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 Digital Camera
  • Sony DSC-QX10 Digital Camera Module for Smartphones

With testing, all Sony cameras supported by the Camera Remote API should be compatible.
