Hi there,
i did register to this forum, because i did read some old topic about a possible NEX 5 hack.
After a bit of research, i noticed, that the man behind "Someone1.00" went missing ? and also the site that is referred to.
I'm intereted in the tools and some help to modify the NEX 5 (not N) firmware, because i do need adjustable shutter speed in video mode.
I do know a bit about some tech things, but i'm not a programmer.
Just doing some home recording and private projects, a small hobby of mine. I'm not a camera expert.
Still have this old NEX 5 camera, not really in a good financial situation to buy a new one. I'm on a super tight budget.
I alo do use old Minolta MD lenses with an adapter ring.
For some new projects i do need manual shutter speed for video capturing and this camera doesn't have this feature in it's software.
Is this really just a software limitation or is the hardware not capable of doing that ? i don't know.
Another help would be an used camera, usually found for around 100€ (i really can't spend more) which has an adapter for the Minolta MD mount (or just a fixed lens).
With manual shutter speed in video mode.
