Overview

Visual Story dramatically improves workflows for photographers and video creators. Images are transferred automatically to the smartphone and can be easily selected and edited, enabling fast on-site production and delivery of story galleries. Use the live gallery feature for automatic real-time sharing of galleries with AI-selected photos as they are captured at events. Social media posting is supported, so the clients can share special memories with their families and friends on the same day, which will please their guests to satisfy clients.

Visual Story service overview

Live gallery

The photos you shoot are analyzed and selected using AI, then uploaded automatically in real time to a live gallery.

The photographer can decide whether or not to create live galleries.
The only operations the photographer performs are starting and stopping streaming.
Each live gallery is active for 24 hours, and only photos are supported.

Story gallery

This is a gallery containing images selected after the event by the photographer for delivery to the client.

Each story gallery is active for one year, and both photos and movies are supported.
Movies must be transferred manually. (Excluding ILCE-7M4. 7M4 allows automatic movie transfer.)
