This is an update to the earlier 1.0.1.20-preview - the only difference is the addition of registry data for the a7CR (ILCE-7CR).
I have also promoted this version to be "latest" as there have been no reported issues specific to the new code.
- Updated driver to update camera properties only when the camera indicates they have changed. This means there is no longer a need to poll the camera for changes.
- Updated driver to communicate with the camera using a single worker thread (and a job queue).
- Updated driver to use simple state-machine flows to perform all camera tasks.
- Updated driver to auto-download photos when the camera sends an event that "photos are ready". This means that you can now use the shutter-release button on the camera and the photo will be auto-downloaded.
- Added ASCOM Focuser support - currently supports 10+ Sony-compatible lenses. Please read posts on https://retro.kiwi/ for info on how to use and get support added for additional lenses.
- Added support for a new NINA plugin that provides direct camera control, bypassing ASCOM.
Note: A couple of users have experienced an issue where the old 1.0.0.x version of the driver was not completely removed. If you see an error related to RefreshPropertyList
, use the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" to remove the "ASCOM Sony Mirrorless Driver Camera Driver", then rerun the installer - this is what the error looks like on NINA (thanks to Klaus B for the screenshot).
