My Sony a6300 is supported, but I can't get it to work. Doesn't even show up on lsusb when I connect in PC remote mode, much less in gphoto2 --auto-detect. I'm stumped. Too bad, that would have been useful.
- ceocoder 6y agoYou should try another microUSB cable - my first microUSB cable did not work because it was charging-only.
- morsch 6y agoThanks. I tried several, but I suppose they could all be bad. Mass storage mode works, though.
- enjoylife 6y agoThe USB mode has to be changed. Set it to “PC Remote” mode. https://helpguide.sony.net/gbmig/44840601/v1/eng/contents/TP0000226675.html https://helpguide.sony.net/gbmig/44840601/v1/eng/contents/TP...
- morsch 6y agoThanks. That's what I did. When set to PC Remote mode, the camera does not show up is lsusb or gphoto2. The other modes work, but don't support capture.
- morsch 6y agoOn the off chance that somebody stumbles on this: I got it to work in the end. After the initial experiments, I noticed the camera refused to charge from a bog-standard USB charger (with any cable). Removing and reinserting the battery restored charging functionality and, as it turns out, the camera also started being visible in PC remote mode. Serves me right for only using the regular on/off switch.
