I am using SDK 2.3 and develop an Android application with AS-15 and 20 camera that is exclusively dealing with liveview. I unable to obtain from Liveview a higher resolution than 640x360px, while the camera specs mention a 1920×1080/30P (HQ).

  • How can I get the full resolution?

  • Is this a limitation of the API ? Why?

    I've found that some (other) cameras implement get/setLiveviewSize and with the L it says

    XGA size scale (the size varies depending on the camera models, and some camera models change the liveview quality instead of making the size larger.) What are the models with the highest liveview resolution?

  • I've posted my question in the Sony forum and received the following answer from @MarlinSony _Did you try calling "startLiveviewWithSize" passing in "L" as the param?_ The issue is that not my camera does not support this startLiveviewWithSize API. Also not clear from Sony documentation in the Reference guide what is the parameter impact: _"XGA size scale (the size varies depending on the camera models, and some camera models change the liveview quality instead of making the size larger.)"_ – Philippe Cohen Oct 13 '16 at 15:05
  • I would be glad to have a code sample demonstrating the "startLiveviewWithSize" API. It does not work on all camera I've tried even if they are listed as supporting Liveview size in https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/ – Philippe Cohen Oct 18 '16 at 11:26
  • Getting help from Sony of this camera api sdk is a *very* frustrating experience, no answers after 16 days... and I've tried through many channels, sony support email, sony support phone, sony forums.. I am not the only one experiencing this lack of server, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27454784/sony-camera-api-stack-overflow-qx100-feature-requests-responses – Philippe Cohen Oct 27 '16 at 05:43
