How I can set auto-ISO by Sony Remote Camera API? - camera

How I can set auto-ISO by Sony Remote Camera API?
I'm able to set any specific value, but what about "auto"? Since PlayMemories-Home app does it, there is a way, but it's not documented.
Thanks,
Oleg.

Did you check/get 'available' (vs 'supported') values? Sometimes I have seen that some values are only usable if the camera is in a particular mode.
You might try changing the shooting mode and see if that then allows you to change ISO setting to auto.
Cheers,
Simon

When having a p2p webtrc connection, how to use different resolutions for the video call and the photo capture?

I'm working on a p2p webtrc video call between HoloLens2 and PC. I also need to support the capturing of photos(and send photos to the server). Now the video and photo can be supported with a resolution of 2272x1278, but I need the photo resolution of 3904x2196(the highest value that HoloLens2 provides).
The problem is when I am trying to change the resolutions, I found I had no limit when the call continues.
I use MediaCapture to take a photo. And the WebcamSource based on MixedReality-WebRTC running on the SharedReadOnly mode. I thought of one way to solve this: shut the call down when taking a photo, and restart it after capturing finished. But the problem is
How can I set the mode to exclusive WebcamSource when just capturing the photo?
Can I make sure when the call had been shut down, the WebcamSource is released?
Or if there is another way to use different resolutions for the video call and the photo capture? Thanks a lot.
How can I set the mode to exclusive WebcamSource when just capturing the photo?
No, SharingMode has hardcoded in the UwpUtils and does not expose any API to access.
Can I make sure when the call had been shut down, the WebcamSource is released?
To make sure dispose of audio and video tracks and media sources last, please reference the following code:
localAudioTrack?.Dispose();
localVideoTrack?.Dispose();
microphoneSource?.Dispose();
webcamSource?.Dispose();

Camera Remote API for DSC-RX1RM2

I am trying to control my Camera DSC-RX1RM2 with Remote SDK.
With the PDF guide [Sony_CameraRemoteAPIbeta_API-Reference_v2.20.pdf],
I think I can use [Continuous shooting mode]API for my Camera,
But the result always return ["error": [12, "No Such Method"]].
I want to ask where is the problem?my camera or the SDK or my source?
Unfortunately, the DSC-RX1RM2 is not supported by the API. Stay tuned to the Sony Camera Remote API page for any updates on supported cameras - https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/.
The latest API does support the DSC-RX1RM2, just confirmed it.
Also check that your URLs are like:
http://ip:port/sony/camera
or
http://ip:port/sony/avContent
I didn't append camera or avContent at first and got similar No Such Method errors.

Setting focus manually with Sony Camera API

I'm making a follow focus app for Sony cameras. My app needs to be able to set focus marks and recall them. There are a lot of functions for doing AF on the Sony Camera API, but I'd like to be able to set focus manually to a given absolute value. Is there a way to accomplish this with the Sony Camera API?
If not, am I able to make a feature request for the next version?
Unfortunately there is no way to manually set the focus to a value in the API. But I will let the team know about the feature request.

Controlling state of Sony Camera qx100 (turning on, off) programmatically?

I would like to know if it is possible to turn on the sony camera dsc-qx100 (or qx10) programmatically or if it is mandatory to turn it on manually ?
Also, is it possible to control the period before the camera turns off ?
My idea is to be able to switch between two cameras and it seems that if I don't connect to one for a while, it will turning off automatically (My test on playMemories app gives me four minutes before it turns off).
Is there a way to avoid that ?
Thanks
Controlling the power state is not possible programatically.
This is not controllable either.
(My test on playMemories app gives me four minutes before it turns
off). Is there a way to avoid that ?
On some models it is possible to programmatically change autoPowerOff time or to deactivate it. Look for setAutoPowerOff.

Displaying MKMapView Without Internet Access

Ey guys, I was wondering if it was at all possible to display an MKMapView without an active internet connection, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance!
You don't have to do anything special. The map data is stored on the device. It just works.
I work on a map based app and I just ran it in airplane mode. It's fine.
mhm, Jasconius,
i'm not sure you are right, the MKMapView uses google on-line services, as you can read on the apple help:
Important: The MapKit framework uses Google services to provide map data. Use of this class and the associated interfaces binds you to the Google Maps/Google Earth API terms of service. You can find these terms of service at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/iphone/terms.html.
If your app works... are you sure it just have chaced the map area on your device when you tried it once you were on-line?
If you use googleMap when you are on-line and load the italy map, then you close your the app, then go in airplane mode and restart the app then you are able to look at italy again, but if you try to go to france you don't see it...
I tried to to use an off line map with MKMapView, but i had this problem...
now i'm using a map of my own using a UIScroll and a CATiledLayer loading a pdf file, the result is similar to the MKMapView...
