    Aside if author is around: You may want to rename it to not include "Sony" in the name. If the project gets popular and catches their eye it might become a headache.

    Suggestions: DShelLR, dshr, dslr-sh

    I wanted to use my new Sony DSLR (a6700) in the same way as I use my server: by ssh'ing into it.

    This is a one day hackaway helper built on Sony’s official Camera Remote SDK. It sort of mimics an ssh session by connecting to my Sony over Wi-Fi, listens for new photos or specific events... and runs scripts on them.

    Thank you Sony, for not forgetting the Linux fan base. And thank you ChatGPT for freshening up my c++ skills!

    My trust in a project which can not identify the most important characteristic of the hardware used is pretty low.

    The A6700 is not, in any way, a DSLR camera.

      You are correct.

    Can you control the camera via script/CLI? Things like releasing the shutter, focus, apeture, etc?

      It's not implemented yet, but fairly easy to add, yes.
