I'm developing an application with the Sony Camera Remote API, using the a6000 as a test device. When calling startRecMode I get the following error message on the camera - The movie shooting mode of this application is not supported on this device

According to Sony's documentation the a6000 should support movie recording. Calling getAvailableApiList upon this device returns startRecMode as an available api method.

Downloading the PlayMemories Mobile app allows me to connect to this device, but starting record mode from my mobile device shows the same error message on the camera.

How can I start recording on the a6000 using the Sony Camera Remote API?

Check that you are running the latest firmware for the camera. You can get it here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=ILCE6000&upd_id=10403&os_group_id=5.

  • Thanks Marlin, but it looks like I have the most recent version of the firmware installed. I'll try reinstalling to see if that helps. – Joe Longstreet Feb 25 '16 at 15:34
  • Ok, if that doesn't work another thing to check is that your camera function is in "Remote Shooting" mode before you try to make the call to startRecMode. See the setCameraFunction method in the documentation for more details. – mldeveloper Feb 25 '16 at 20:13
