Live view and tethering problems with Sony A7R IV

QUESTION

I have noticed that tethering / live view does properly work with Sony A7R IV / A9 II camera model. What can be done about this?

ANSWER

Sony A7R IV is supported starting from Capture One 12.1.2 in Pro, (for Sony), and Enterprise product variants.

Sony A9II is supported starting from Capture One 12.1.4 in Pro, (for Sony), and Enterprise product variants.

In case tethering or live view is not working properly when connecting a camera and using Capture One, follow the steps below:

• Update your camera firmware to the newest version. Tethering works with the USB 3 cable and the USB-C connector on the camera. If you update the firmware of Sony A7R IV / A9 II to the newest version, the live view will work with USB 3.
• Make sure that the PC Remote function on the camera is enabled. Please refer to your camera’s manual.
• Disable Wifi on your camera by turning the Airplane Mode on, for instance.

NOTE:

— If you are running Windows 10, you should navigate to ‘Device Manager’ and delete the driver called ‘libusbk’ and then scan for new hardware from within Device Manager

— You should also consider uninstalling Imaging Edge (Sony’s tethering software) as this can cause conflicts with Capture One’s tethering.

— If you are you using Google Drive by any chance, there are instances when Google Drive background service conflicts with Capture One and kills tethering.

If the suggestions above have not resolved your tethering or live view issues, consider checking the following articles as well:

Hot Folder option in Capture One (in case your camera is not recognized or supported by Capture One, but you can use the camera’s proprietary software for shooting tethered)

a5000 enable LIVE-VIEW in Sony Imaging Edge Desktop / Remote for PC #368

Comments

SonyILCE commented Apr 5, 2020

Here is a genius guide how to enable video recording for the android / iOS remote app:
https://github.com/ma1co/OpenMemories-Tweak/issues/134

It is possible that all the cameras can use live-view in the android-app:
ILCE-5000, ILCE-5100, ILCE-6000, ILCE-6100, ILCE-6300, ILCE-6400, ILCE-6500, ILCE-6600 and so on

But only a few cameras support live-view for the ‘Sony Imaging Edge Desktop app’ for Mac OS / Windows:
official:
ILCE-6100, ILCE-6400, ILCE-6600 and others
Source: https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#emount
unofficially it also works with:
ILCE-6300 and ILCE-6500

It would be really nice if the ILCE-5000 could do live-view on Windows/Mac OS.
Maybe it is possible (via telnet?) because live-view is generally (for mobile app) available.

Has someone a solution or an idea?

I’ve been searching for this too! I’ve got both an A5000 and a A6000, neither of which have USB Live view enabled. I’ve been reading through some of the other issues opened on this repo, and i’ve seen that ‘setting’ values can be changed over TelNet.

Does anyone know if there’s a lookup table for these setting values? Or if someone has an A6300 dump, so we can compare it to an A6000 dump?

domlinson commented Apr 23, 2020

Just so I don’t forget this, using fwtool.py — I have unpacked the DUMP.DAT file that came off of my A5000. I then used the print_backup feature of fwtool to further unpack my .BIN file and spat it out into a .TXT file (about 8.4MB).

So the next step would be to compare the dump to the closest camera that does have the USB live view option enabled.

So I think it would make most sense for me to compare my A6000 to the A6300, as the 6300 does have USB live view.

However. there are a huge number of settings in the .bin file which really makes this difficult. I imagine there will be thousands of differences straight off the bat from the A6000 to the A6300, so how would we determine which is the USB live view?

If the setting was toggleable (ie, the camera menu can turn the feature on/off) we could take 2 dumps from an A6300 with it enabled/disabled and then narrow down our search, however this feature (as far as I know) is just a backend setting, with no way for the user to enable or disable it. I know the Imagine Edge software can show/hide the USB live view feature, but I doubt this changes any settings in the actual camera (but we shouldn’t write that off as a possibility).
