Sony Camera Remote API beta SDK: how to deactivate auto focus on QX10?

Question

Since Sony XQ10's auto-focus can't be deactivated via its app-menu, is there a way to do so using the SDK? Corresponding reference Sony Camera Remote API doesn't contain any "setFocusMode" or similar. Helper Library on GitHub has it...but for which cameras? Any experiences?

Cheers,

Lara

Answer 1

This is not currently supported in the Camera Remote API SDK. There is an update planned for spring which will include additional features but not sure about auto-focus control:

Just checked Camera Remote API Reference Febr 2017 (Beta) for a possibility to set or get the focus position through the api. Seems it's still not supported.
