Python bindings for the Sony Camera Remote SDK v1

Project description

sonyalphapy

High-level Python API for Sony Alpha cameras via CrSDK v1.

Typical usage:

  1. Connect camera via USB

  2. Select "Remote Shooting" (or "PC Remote", depending on your model/firmware)

  3. Run:

    import sonyalphapy as sony
    
    sony.initialize()
    cameras = sony.enumerate_cameras()
    cam = cameras[0]
    cam.connect()
    cam.capture_af()
    cam.disconnect()
    sony.shutdown()
    

Notes:

  • This is still quite fragile. See CrSDK_v1/Sony_CameraRemoteSDK_API-Reference_v1.08.00.pdf PDF to get connected.
  • I have only tested it on macOS 26 with the Sony ILCE-7M4 (Sony a7IV)
  • The CrSDK_v1/ directory includes the original C++ SDK from Sony directly.
  • A good sanity check is to make sure the Imaging Edge Desktop Remote application works correctly.
