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.
