Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
A Linux tool called "sonshell" built on Sony's official Camera Remote SDK that allows users to connect to Sony cameras over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, mirror captures to a workstation, and control the camera via an interactive shell. Features include automatic file downloads, shutter triggering, exposure adjustments, live view, post-download hooks, and auto-reconnection. The tool is open-source and hosted on GitHub.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledAn effort to 'ssh into my Sony camera'
It connects to supported Sony bodies over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, mirrors new captures straight to your workstation, and drops you into an interactive shell for remote control.
The shell can download files automatically, trigger the shutter, tweak exposure settings, start live view, run post-download hooks, and keep retrying if the camera drops offline.
