Glad to help.

As best as I can tell, this model does not have a "PC Control" mode via USB, at least not out-of-the-box. It is possible to enhance the camera via downloadable applications. It came with a few sample applications including "Smart Remote Embedded" which enables a WiFi connection to a smartphone, which in turn allows the smart phone to control the shutter.

So, the only USB modes are "MTP" and "Mass Storage". I described MTP mode in previous e-mail. Mass Storage" mode has a USB ID of:
Bus 003 Device 035: ID 054c:07ca Sony Corp.

I did try image capture in Mass Storage mode. As expected, it does not work:
gphoto2 --capture-image

*** Error ***
This camera can not capture.
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.
*** Error (-6: 'Unsupported operation') ***

gphoto2 as follows:

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.


Hope this is helpful.

HI,

We rely on user report like yours to add cameras.

I have added the USB id for the next release.

Can you also switch the camera to "PC Control" mode, and report
its USB id in there?

It will likely also support capture in this mode.

Ciao, Marcus

I notice a msg regarding Sony DSC-RX100M3 over a year ago, yet it is still

received the particulars for this camera? Thank you for your consideration.

The following is with the camera's USB port in MTP mode.

The relevant line from lsusb is:
Bus 003 Device 029: ID 054c:08e3 Sony Corp.
