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

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
