Hi Marcus Thank you for coming back to me with additional information about your solution and the compatibility with our products.
I've just send a mail to my colleague at Sony Europe UK to ask him about the possibility to have a meeting and share additional information with you. I hope we will get a positive feedback (not sure about that) as I think it would be useful for everyone (my personal opinion). Kind regards and let's keep in touch.

We have report of success on these cameras: - Sony Alpha A6400 aka ILCE-6400 - Sony Alpha A6600 aka ILCE-6600 - Sony Alpha 7RM4 aka ILCE-7RM4 We do not have a user report for the A1. libgphoto2 2.5.27 is the current release. libgphoto2 is an opensource camera access library that was implemented using mostly public available specs to implement digital camera support. The library supports multiple camera drivers, the primary one is the PTP driver, which also covers Sony vendor specific operations to capture images and liveviews, and configuration control. The ISO 15740 PTP standard is the primary reference guide for the PTP driver. For vendor specific commands we rely e.g. on freely available resources like Nikons SDK or other documents. For less documented cameras we use bits of reverse engineering, largely USB traffic sniffing. If Sony could supply us with the Sony vendor specific PTP protocol specifications, this would greatly help us increase the quality of our software for Sony cameras.
