Enabling Contents Transfer on Sony a7iii/a7riii/a9


It seems like the remote API on the newer Sony models support the capabilities to transfer images, namely the device returns that it supports the listContent method when calling getMethodTypes. However the camera doesn't support setCameraFunction and when trying to start the transfer process by calling listSchemes it returns an "Unavailable" error.

It seems like Sony doesn't document the API for the new cameras, even though they are clearly supported! Does anyone have any insight on how I can gain access to these functions (i.e. make them available)?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!


Solution

  • I was correct that this is unsupported on newer Sony Cameras. This now requires the use of the "Send to Smartphone" functionality which uses pretty standard UPnP transfer
