Tether with Sony A7

I have a Sony A7 and I want to tether with Lightroom 5. The A7 is not compatible with Lightroom 5 so I cant camera tether. Someone mentioned to me that I could tether through a folder and not the camera and I could open up Sony capture and save it to a folder and automatically import with tether. How do I do that. Thanks

Bumping this chain since it's still unresolved.
Couple of things - It seems that we still can't tether any Sony camera (of any kind) directly into LR 5 but must instead use Sony's Remote Camera Control and watched folders. This wasn't ideal, but seemed to work ok.  However, I confirmed with Sony that RCC version 3.3 is not supported by Yosemite with no expected update on the horizon. So if you tether a lot as I do, DO NOT UPDATE OSX. I updated already, so now I'm desperate for alternatives.
Secondly, it looks like CaptureOne 8 is currently the best route for tethering with your Sony, but if you're using an A7/r/s, A99, or A77II you're not going to really have much functionality beyond capture. No camera adjustments supported nor live-view. I've downloaded a trial and confirmed this myself. Capture One Pro 8 camera support
My main question though, is that Sony has released an SDK for camera remote api here Sony Camera Remote API beta SDK | Sony Developer World As a non-developer I'm curious if anyone knows if this is what LR needs to give us native tethering?

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

    Hi there JByrd,
    Let's take a closer look into this. What plan are you currently on? If you are on the More Everything plan, then you shouldn't have to do anything additional. If you are on the Nationwide plan it is an additional $20 a month for 2 GB of data. Let us know what plan you have. Thanks!

    Hey Erin how about you confirm to Elector and others that you HAVE to pay for tethering on Nationwide plans and that if you are using a 3rd tethering app to bypass paying you are violating the terms of service. They don't seem to believe me.

  • IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

    iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio.  It charges but won't play or control music.  Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch.  Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones. 

    Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
    Do the phones have the same iOS?
    Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • [SOLVED] ACPI power issues with Sony Vaio Pro 13

    tl;dr backstory:
    Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP13215CDB) laptop was working great (Win 8.1).
    Installed Win10 Tech Preview. A week later, it started going to sleep randomly and on certain key-presses (perhaps after performing Sony Vaio Software updates. I'm not 100% sure). I wiped all partitions installing Win7 in legacy mode. It still went to sleep randomly.
    I restored to factory default Win8.1 with Sony Vaio software up-to-date. It still went to sleep randomly.
    Took it to an electronics repair shop, to see if they could fix it, and they said it can't be fixed in any way without replacing motherboard, but that's basically a new laptop.
    So I turned to Arch Linux.
    I have completed the basic install from the Wiki, and it no longer sleeps/shuts down randomly, but it will gracefully shutdown when certain events/keypresses occur.
    I installed acpid and used "acpi_listen >> acpi.log" to determine what causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown. Here is the result of acpi.log (each line was a shutdown event):
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Unplugged power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Running on battery and idle. Perhaps battery percent update caused this?
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Plugged in power adapter.
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F1 Touchpad Disable
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F5 Brightness Down
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F6 Brightness Up
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F7 LCD/External Display
    button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-1 (Weird. It has no extra function).
    As you can see, they all seem to trigger the same shutdown event.
    I have seen on other posts that these ACPI signals can be disabled or assigned to other commands, which would be an acceptable workaround if it stops my laptop from erroneously shutting down. Is this doable?
    Also, I was not able to reflash the Sony VAIO firmware when using Windows, as Sony's package software is amazing wouldn't allow flashing an equal or lesser firmware version. Perhaps there is a way in Arch to force a reflash if I can get my hands on the firmware blob?
    Thanks .

    linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=<UUID here> rw quiet acpi=off
    Like this?
    I did that, and it disabled my laptop keyboard entirely. In doing so, it disables the key-presses that would normally shutdown the laptop, including the power button. So the only way to shut it down is a hard shutdown via long-press of the power button. Thanks, though.
    Update: Issue Solved. I will update post tonight. Flashing the BIOS again resolved the ACPI issues.

    BIf i have AT&amp;T as my services is it necessary to have iTunes installed on my pc and or laptop to tether with USB or wirelessly...??

    Well, in order to check, you'd need to tell us exactly what those plug ins are and/or provide a link to them. Most streaming or playing of the channels you mentioned do require "help" in the form of a plug in; some of those work great, others only haphazardly, and some not at all/may cause a problem.
    FWIW, whatever site you visit online, knows exactly what equipment you are on simply because you went there. So, they should not be demanding/offering you a plug in that isn't meant for your platform (which, by the way, is not iOS, but Mac OS 10.9.5 - iOS is for iPads, iPhones, etc).

  • My story with Sony

    My story with Sony In 2011 I saw the announcement in a YouTube for Mobile Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson, but has created the company before you buy Sony Ericsson Mobile was a great experience in terms of strength and durability and scratching the man in the video is trying to wound mobile screen with a knife and a scalpel and hammer beat hard and do not get anything for this giant Frankly, I've very surprised with this section, especially when placed under the jeep and walked it is not affected by never I went immediately and bought this mobile (I liked very much) and I've tried it myself was its name And put it in the water - I threw it at an altitude of two meters - tried to scratch the screen with the key - not Ihs him something, and I still was acquired this magnificent giant of Sony Ericsson even touch its very fast and is better than touching iPhone And started my journey with Sony and not Sony Ericsson I bought the Sony Xperia S, but unfortunately many disadvantages, his voice low, always attached, I always re-run in order to work properly again, I remember when I worked him updated to the new version of Android Wi-Fi no longer works, and eventually sold it Then I bought the Xperia Acro S and the same problems then I bought the Xperia ion is also the same problem Then roasting much, why this failure of Sony, although I love the Sony lot Then Wright video about Xperia Z and liked it so much, but a low voice - and injure its screen - and not against shocks As Sony said, finally bought a week ago Xperia Z-1 is also the same problem. I do not want to change to another company because I want from Sony that does not apply to retract, Is it possible they did not mend mistakes Sound like the old low - screen against scratching and breakage - Mobile Shockproof So far, Sony has not made ​​Mobile resistant to shocks and durability such as Xperia Active Are they unable to make such a giant? If the Xperia Active screen as big as 5 inches of storage space and 32 GB and 3 GB Memory and a great camera Already be against the water - Shockproof - against scratching (any real action and not words) I'm thinking about what I was never changed that with me, because this area is a few weak memory and I can not work it updates Or download programs and games Finally: I hope Sony have to take my words and my advice seriously because Sony distinct from others Against bumps and scratches - against water Look at the iPhone screen is now 6 Sapphire strong Look at Samsung Sony held in her phone S 5 (water proof) I do not want any company to precede Sony, because I love it
    What do you think the Xperia Active X is a powerful specifications (my dream)
    Yours my affection and respect

    Not only for me. For all people, but like Mobile resistant and good to use But like Mobile voice high and strong specifications I speak for the company and for the benefit of the company Sony were always there are some problems in its phones Such as: a low voice - stop in the big games and applications - the vibration does not work sometimes The screen easily scratch and a lot

  • Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer

    Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer footage to computer and into Final Cut Pro?
    I am editing with Final Cut Pro
    I have a Mac
    My footage is on the HXR-MC50E

    One small correction-- you do not use File-->Import. You must use Log and Transfer in FCP 7 or Import From Camera/Import Media in FCP X. In FCP 7 the clips will be automatically converted to ProRes upon import. In FCP X you can choose to work with the native files (re-wrapped to .mov) or you can optionally transcode to ProRes. When importing in FCP X, enable the 'create optimized media files' option to convert to ProRes. If you do not enable this option the files will remain in their native codec.

  • Xperia Neo media server doesn't work anymore with Sony Bravia TV after ICS update!

    Xperia Neo (MT15i) updated from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431). I did not perform any reset (factory settings) after the update.
    Media server does not work anymore with Sony Bravia TV KDL40-NX700. With 2.3.4 it worked correctly before.
    When I start the media server on my Xperia Neo and try to view my photos on my Bravia TV it shows connection, I am also able to view different folders on the Smartphone but when it tries to load the photos in any folder on the Smartphone it stops working after a while. Feedback on TV is "cannot connect to media sever". The same procedure worked without any problems when using 2.3.4 before.
    Is this a known issue and is there any solution for this?

    Wow that is a new one, great find!
    I wish I had tested that with my Ray, as I had used the media server feature quite a bit with my DirecTV receiver when on Gingerbread.  But too late, it's on the way back to Sony to get rolled back to Gingerbread.
    Too many other problems with ICS that have crippled my device.
    1) Wi-Fi Hotspot does not work anymore
    2) USB tethering does not work anymore
    3) LED notification issues for incoming SMS
    4) Dialer slow to load
    5) HD Video recording skip frames and jitter.
    6) Bluetooth AVRCP profile broke (can't use the play/pause button on my car stereo anymore)
    If you have not done so take a look at the above features and see what you turn up.

  • Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

    Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
    I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
    My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

  • Mountain Lion doesn't display Finder preview icons for .ARW files? (RAW pictures taken with SONY cameras)

    This is something that I find rather ridiculous, and have a hard time believing no-one at Apple has addressed yet.
    Basically the problem is that neither Mountain Lion nor Lion show Finder thumbnail preview images for pictures that are taken with SONY digital cameras.
    This is something that Snow Leopard, as well as multiple earlier iterations of OS X used to do without any problem. The professional photographer community who uses SONY professional DSLR cameras is up in arms about this. And we've all been crossing our fingers that perhaps the Mac OS X 10.7.1, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, 10.7.4, or possibly the 10.8 update would fix this issue for us.
    Several of us have filed bug reports over the past year or two. See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3213982?tstart=0 
    This is a flaw in Apple's operating system. Especially considering that there are supposedly 200+ "new features" which were just released in Mountain Lion.
    Those of us who work with SONY cameras every day would probably have paid the $19.99 upgrade price for just one "feature". And not even a new one. An old one. The ability to see our pictures in the Finder. Pretty basic stuff.
    Hopefully someone fixes this for us with the release of Mac OS X 10.8.1
    Please. And thank you.

    I can see image icons for all my pre-MtLion images.  These are the folder images (Icons), and all the photo images (icons) on all my hard drives.  IE If I have a folder of 300 wedding pictures, they all show the picture image above the file name in the icon view.  So if I want to open a picture of the "Flower Girl" I can see the image (icon) of the Flower Girl.  Without the image showing all I see is the filename...  Smith-212.tif.  Now with Mt. Lion I CAN'T see any IMAGES (ICONS) on any of the 300 photos.  Just the file names in all the different views.... Icon View, List VIew, etc.  If I have a Folder with 23 more folders inside, they don't even show up either.  I saw a step by step process of selecting the file and right clicking on it and opening it in Preview, then doing a copy and then pasting it on the original image in tghe get info window.  WHAT A PURE PAIN TO HAVE TO DO THIS TO 170,375 IMAGES.
    The other issue I have is that 93.5 % of the remaining icons that do exist on my system is that those 93.5 % are so pixelated they appear as a hugh checkerboard viewed through two inch thick glasses..... not for drinking, but the kinda glasses used by a blind man.  IE the remaining icons are so PIXELATED it is almost impossible to tell what they  are.
    BEN WELLAND...... What did you do to get this point? 
    Thank you, thank you, thank you, to whomever at Apple finally fixed this.
    After updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, SONY .ARW files (and I'm assuming Pentax .PEF files too) now render proper thumbnail icons in the Finder in list view, icon view, coverflow view, and columns view.
    Since this is now a recognized bug, I'm guessing that the free update to Lion (10.7.5) that Apple also just released yesterday (September 19th, 2012) will probably fix this issue too.
    Hooray!
    I have OS 10.8.2  and nothing has changed as far as being able to see photos / folders as image icons...
    rendered  proper thumbnail icons.
    I have thousands of photo files that show nothing other that the file names.
    The only way I can even see the file is to open it in Photoshop, or open the folder in Bridge. Even then after I open it in PS CS6, and save it again. It still is a "Empty" file...... no render proper thumbnail.
    icons 
    Any help will be appreciated.
