I am trying to format the SD card in a Sony ILCE-QX1 camera. The SDK documentation does not provide a command to do this. I know it is possible because it can be done from the Sony PlayMemories application on iOS or Android. Does anyone know the command to do this?

  • By dumping all commands from SDK I see a actFormatStorage in the camera group. I have tried this command with guesses for param etc without success. Anyone done this? – chris Oct 24 '15 at 14:15
  • By looking at getEvent data I know it is expecting a string for the param, just not sure what it is looking for. Maybe the storagecard id? – chris Oct 26 '15 at 13:54
  • wondering if anyone from Sony monitors this forum to provide answers... – chris Oct 28 '15 at 17:11
  • From this post, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27490892/qx1-manual-shoot-mode-m-via-api, found that need to send actEnableMethods to turn on the actFormatStorage command. That requires a handshake of a "dg" value to create an "sg" value to send in a second actEnableMethods. I am unable to get that to work using the code provided I get an {"id":1,"error":[5,"illegal request"]} response. Any ideas? I think it must be in the dg to sg hashing. – chris Feb 19 '16 at 18:57
