I would please like to know if it is possible to retrieve images from a Sony Camera when it is connected to a Wifi Access Point on our local network? I want to retrieve the images from the camera with C# code.
Can anyone point me to where I can find resources regarding this?
Depends on what Sony Camera you are using. See the Camera Remote API SDK page for more details on the API. Inside the SDK you will find a PDF with a list of which APIs are supported for which cameras.

Also, the Camera itself must act as the WiFi access point and you connect to it with the host device that you want to use to control it.
It is possible but there are no public resources regarding it. See my answer to a related question here.
Quoting myself (there's more detail at the link) - this is based on the Sony A7:
The camera has 2 Wifi-connection modes:
(a) AP-mode ("Connect to smartphone"), where the camera acts as an AP you can connect to. Only gives access to JPGs, not raws. API is proprietary but public (https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/)
(b) Infrastructure mode ("Connect to computer"), where the camera connects to an AP and pushes any files to a computer on the local network. Uses some MTP-flavour (based on PTP/IP).
So for (b) you would have to use or implement some kind of MTP- or PTP/IP-stack. You would also have to know the MAC-address of the computer the camera has been "paired" with previously.
