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).
