New

  • Added a selectable Video: HDMI source. Android accepts standard HDMI-to-UVC
    capture devices over USB-OTG; USB-C iPads use AVFoundation external-camera
    support. iPhone is intentionally excluded.
  • HDMI supplies the low-latency image while Sony Wi-Fi remains available in
    parallel for exposure controls, touch focus, shutter events and card access.
  • The HDMI path keeps only the latest frame and retains the existing rotation,
    mirror, grid, exposure meter, focus peaking and HUD processing.

Fixed and compatibility

  • Added the missing continuous-shooting/drive control and cancel touch AF before
    setting changes, with bounded retries for Sony's transient Not Available Now.
  • Drive now follows Sony's object-based API format, enabling it on compatible models
    such as the A6300. The A6000 receives a specific incompatibility explanation, while
    other models receive an accurate current-mode/state message when Sony rejects it.
  • Camera-model discovery now also runs when the usual A6000 address responds, so
    model-specific compatibility messages do not depend on a failed direct connection.
  • Capability lists remain fail-open: patched Sony camera apps can use working commands
    even when those commands are absent from getAvailableApiList.

Important A6000 limitations

  • Cable video requires the camera's micro-HDMI output, an HDMI capture card and USB
    OTG/USB-C on the mobile device. The camera's Multi/Micro USB port is not a video feed.
  • HDMI supplies preview frames only. Camera control still uses Sony Wi-Fi, and iPhone
    is excluded because this UVC input path is not available there.
  • The A6000 API does not expose a downloadable video path, so videos recorded on the
    camera cannot be saved into or downloaded by the mobile app.
  • Remote touch focus is not available while the A6000 is in video mode/recording; use
    the camera's video autofocus settings such as AF-C instead.
  • The A6000 does not expose remote burst/Drive control. The app now explains this
    directly instead of showing Sony's generic Not Available Now error.
