Hi Guys, I was wondering if the Sony RX100m2 is supported to disable the NTSC Running screen? My camera is running 1.10 FW. When I try to use openmemories tweak, I get this:

Starting task

Got task key

Cancelling plugin

Plugin cancelled

Starting download to camera

Error: Network connection

Granted, I did not see this camera in the supported list:

https://github.com/ma1co/OpenMemories-Framework/blob/master/docs/Cameras.md

Is there something unique to the RX100m2 compared to M3 onwards that prevents this to work?

Thank you for any help!

Hi, I am trying to get a Sony RX100 M3 to function in a time-lapse mode where it will take a picture every 30 seconds. I am able to do this with the Sony PlayMemories App Time-Lapse, but the problem is, that for whatever reason, Sony chose to disable flash usage while using the app. Typically, for time lapse this is just fine, but we're trying to use the RX100m3 on an underwater ROV to survey the ocean floor at 400 feet, so in that kind of darkness, the only way to get a usable image (at low ISO) is to use a strobe (which is fired via the on-camera flash an a fiber optic cable).

After investing thousands in this hardware set up, we were a little dismayed to find Sony had crippled the app in this way... so, I've been researching possible work arounds for this and that led me to ma1co's work and the OpenApp Store.

I am wondering, if using any of these reverse-engineered modifications I might be able to achieve something similar? Either intervalometer functionality or, if I could possibly get access to the Time-Lapse app and use a hex-editor to perhaps change the flash function from off to on? I know enough to get myself in trouble, but if there is a possibility of making it work I'm willing to try. I just thought I might ask you all first and see if y'all had any recommendations or maybe something I'm not thinking about. Thanks for any help.

It would be great if anyone could upload Sony's apks. I don't have access to these apps in my country.

kameraguy, try using the local installer instead of the browser plugin: https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE/releases/tag/v0.12

Does anyone think Sony's "star eater" bug/algorithm could be fixed with a hack? From what I've read their latest A7sii and A7Rii firmware updates haven't fixed the issue.

Sony alpha cameras always take images in aspect ratio 3:2 but you can choose a 16:9 overlay if you prefer to take images in 16:9. As the camera always saves the images in 3:2 you need to crop the images later in photoshop to 16:9. Unfortunately 16:9 is the only alternativ format you can choose and I would love the possibility to see black overlays in any aspect ratio i want.

For canon cameras there is a reverse engineered software called „Magic Lantern“. One option within this software is the possibility to create your own cropmarks / overlays. You just create a photoshop file with two layers. A white background layer and a second layer with whatever shape you want. When you copy this photoshop file on the SD Card of your camera you can load it onto your camera. The second layer with your shape will then bye shown as an overlay. It´s meant to use it for different aspect ratios but you can also draw a flower and let it appear on your camera liveview.

Here is a link to that software: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Cropmarks

For Arri cameras you habe the following option to create costum Framelines:

For Sony cameras there isn´t such thing but there seems to be a way to build android apps and install them on the camera to create new functions. My question is:

Is it possible to built an app for sony cameras that lets you create costum overlays that show in camera live view?

Best, David

Thank you. I already posted my question there but unfortunatly never got an answer...

@jeffcostello If you're not up building an app using the PlayMemories hack, you could just go with a low-tech solution and tape a small piece of acrylic to your camera's screen with the cropmarks drawn in. If you want it to be semi-permanent, you could just draw them on a screen protector after sticking it to the screen.

I am looking on some info on how to reconfigure an a7s after i changed the image sensor (imager unit section) and main board (SY1039 - the backup battery BT0601 was replaced too) - seems the board needs to be calibrated and there is some reference in the service manual of an 'adjust sw'. As is, all works (all menus and buttons), but the sensor image is very dim - I have to have the ISO at max to get the some image out of it. Any of you has done this before or can point me to the right post (if exists)?

has anyone else run into a 2GB file size limit on .mp4 video recording? I want to be able to record footage at conferences, and right now I can't get past this issue. AVCHD works, but the file sizes are too much for my current setup. (128GBs are okay, but 256GB's are too damned high!) I have an a5000 and a6000.

But i dont know i wrong what a step make me fail to repack this Fw!

Who has successfully this created PLZ HELP ME :(((! IM NOOB.
