Sony Electronics announced an updated version of its Camera Remote Software Development Kit, which allows users to operate Sony’s cameras remotely from their computer. Updated functionality includes compatibility with the newly announced ILX-LR1 camera and support for third parties in the development of bespoke applications using the leading performance of Sony cameras.
Version 1.10 of the camera remote SDK, which will be available to download for free beginning September 13, 2023, and Version 1.11 in November 2023, offer new features that are particularly important for inspection/surveying, drone, e-Commerce and video shooting applications.

- In response to requests from existing customers (inspections and survey companies) to remotely acquire focal length information, the new version acquires focal lengthii Information.
- Expanded menu settings for still and movie, including Interval shooting functions and AF tracking sensitivity settings, and menu settings for pre- and post- settings. A wider variety of settings can be changed.
- Event notification such as video recording start/stop and ‘Focus Position Setting’ completion to enable high-speed, remote command processing. In addition, status acquisition, such as during media writing, is expanded so that the system can efficiently organize workflows by understanding the camera status.
