It is possible to transfer images from a Sony QX10 to a desktop application, which uses the Camera Remote API?
While the QX10 will allow you to take a picture and retrieve the url of the picture right away, you are not able to get a list of images on the Camera using the API.

Im working on a uni project using sony sdk. Right now when I use the capture image API from sony sdk, it downloads both RAW and JPEG images to my PC. As the image size is very high, it takes some time to download, which impacts the video streaming. Therefore, I want it only to download the JPEG image when I shoot photos (not the RAW image) or a second option to keep the images in the camera SD card and not to download to the host PC. Can anyone tell me if there is any way I can acheive one of the above?
Thanks
I am developing a python remote control application using the open source pysony library. The program should be able to shoot images in a loop, download them and then delete the artifacts on the camera (We can't manually format the sd card, since the idea is that, of a remote control application).
I'd like to point out, that I have read this post about the correct way of remotely deleting files. I have read the Sony API documentation and have successfully managed to control everything I need to, but the deletion of images. The camera in question is a Sony a6300, updated to the latest firmware as is its API.
The problem in question is the fact that the camera returns a success response ({'result': [], 'id': 1}) after trying to delete a set of image URIs, but the images still remain on the camera. I am using the remote control app and am connected directly to the camera wifi (making this the standard 1:1 connection). When I issue the delete command, the screen of the camera shortly displays a "controlling with smartphone... you cannot directly operate this device" message.
I have searched all around the www an can't seem to find and aswer.
Thank you in advance!
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.
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.
I am currently testing a DSC-HX400. While I am able to do almost everything I need to with the camera there are a couple of items that are not exposed via the API that have frustrated my efforts.
1) The camera does not seem to offer an option, via the API or the camera itself, to capture images in RAW format. It does offer standard & fine JPEG format but both of those are leaving artifacts in the image that become extremely noticeable when you zoom in with an image editor. Is there a way to get the camera to capture RAW images? I do not need the SDK to return the data just to save it out to the card. If getting the RAW data is impossible has anyone found an inventive way to clean up the artifacts?
2) The camera supports both still shoot and movie mode but the API will only expose the mode that I am currently in. It makes it impossible to transition between still to movie mode (to allow recording) from the API but I can do that same transition by pressing a single button on the camera. Once I am recording a movie the API will allow me to transition back to still mode (by cancelling recording). Is there plans to support the ability to trigger a movie recording via the API if you are in a still capture mode (Seeing the firmware already supports this functionality)?
Answers to the questions below:
If the camera cannot capture RAW images, the API will not be able to either. I do not know of a way to capture RAW images but can only comment with regards to the API as I am not an expert on usage of the camera itself.
You can change between still and movie mode by using the "setShootMode" API.
