Sony A7sii Zoom
Hey guys,
I was hoping to get my A7sii with FE PZ 28-135 to remote control zoom and focus. I have tried to set various values without any luck for either of them, I have also tried various MF/AF , Servo/Manual combinations.
I have found some configs related to it, but none of them seem to do anything. ISO, aperture, WB etc. work like they should.
/main/other/d214 Label: Zoom Readonly: 0 Type: RANGE Current: 1.83142e+07 Bottom: 0 Top: 4.29497e+09 Step: 1 END
/main/capturesettings/zoom Label: Zoom Readonly: 0 Type: RANGE Current: 18.3142 Bottom: 0 Top: 4294.97 Step: 1 END
The focus settings seem to be read-only
Label: Focus status Readonly: 1 Type: MENU Current: 1 Choice: 0 1 Choice: 1 2 Choice: 2 3 Choice: 3 5 Choice: 4 6 Choice: 5 7 END
/main/other/500a Label: Focus Mode Readonly: 1 Type: MENU Current: 1 Choice: 0 1 Choice: 1 2 Choice: 2 32772 Choice: 3 32773 Choice: 4 32774 END
Here is the logfile from the /main/capturesettings/zoom set:

Best regards, Håvard
is this a powered zoom? so far I had not reports of zoom being remote controllable.
for focus look for autofocusdrive and manualfocusdrive action/options. Usually you cannot set absolute values when focusing, only do directional steps.
Yes it is a powered zoom, the camera even shows a zoom slider with millimeters on the display when I use the rocker on the lens.
I found a video of someone adapting LANC -> USB to use LANC Zoom Demands with powered Sony lenses (not this one in particular), so the camera should be able to control the zoom, the question is just if Sony has enabled this through PTP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfuhQ9agNDM
I have also heard that there is a secondary USB protocol proprietary to Sony, which might be the communication used for the Sony LANC adapter and the RM-VPR1 USB Zoom remote.
Autofocusdrive and manualfocusdrive is sadly not in the list for list-all-config.
Thanks a lot for the reply!
