gPhoto / Feature Requests / #480 Adding support for Sony NEX 5R

olli - 2018-04-23

Hello Everybody,

i appreciate the gphoto2 very much and use it with an Sony A6000 and RX10m3.

If you can support also the Sony NEX 5R it would be very helpful for me.

I've attached the logfile and so output about this camera.

If further assistance is needed -> you're welcome.

Kind Regards
Olli

Hello,

i compiled it myself and did a modification of the library.c:

/* idVendor=054c, idProduct=066f */ {"Sony:NEX-5R (PTP mode)", 0x054c, 0x066f, 0},

Works well for downloading from the Camera.

But a capture is still not possible. (added debug output)

can you switch it to "PC Control Mode" on the camera?

If this is not available, remote capture is likely not possible
