\\Instructions//
-Download Putty (for the Telnet portion): https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s...
-Download PMCA-GUI from here: https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE...
The steps are summarized below:
1. Download PMCA-GUI app
2. Connect camera to computer using USB cable
3. Click "Get camera info" to ensure computer sees your camera
4. Click "Install" tab
5. There is a menu below, with a list of apps that can be installed. OpenMemories Tweak should be the first one. Select it. Then click Install button
6. Wait for installation to complete (a few seconds)
7. Remove USB cable
On the camera...
8. Go into camera menus, and find the Apps tab. Open OpenMemories Tweak
9. In the video tab, disable record limit (box checked). A record time longer than 29m should now appear
10. Go to the Developer tab
11. Set up wifi using Wifi Setup button
12. Use WPS to sync automatically or set up manually
13. Click the Enable Wifi box
14. Note the IP address of your camera (probably starts 192.xxx.,,,)
15. Enable Telnet
On the computer
16. Start command prompt
17. If your camera's IP address was 192.168.1.100, connect to it using
telnet 192.168.1.100
(Substitute your actual IP address in the expression above)
18. You are now connected to your camera and talking directly to it. You need to make a small change to one of the settings. Make sure you type carefully. The 0 and 1 below are numbers not letters O and I.
bk.elf r 0x01070a47
and hit Enter
This should display 01, which means it has camera overlays switched on, on the HDMI out. You'll change this to 00 in the next step, which turns overlays off. Type
bk.elf w 0x01070a47 00
and hit Enter
To check, repeat the command below
bk.elf r 0x01070a47
and hit Enter
It should now respond with 00. This confirms it's been done.
19. Power down the camera and power up again
20. Plug in an HDMI cable to the camera and screen
21. Switch to Movie mode. You should see video output without any overlays
AND THATS IT. Full Manual video mode is recommended so you can set the proper White Balance, ISO, and Exposure for your lighting.
