Sony hack and app - by me

[Andrew - EOSHD]

A may have, sort have, hacked my Sony a7 IV. Although the firmware is encrypted the .DAT cam settings file isn't.

This allows you to dive in and change picture style parameters, without the limits of the camera menus or Sony's tethered apps via USB.

This is early days yet, but I've already got a prototype app that's quite useful.

First bonus feature... it allows you to save all your Picture Profile recipes and Creative Style settings to your laptop and manage them in a nice to use Mac OS app (Windows version I'll also be working on later). This allows you to store as many "Recipes" as you want and dial them into the camera.

Second bonus feature... It is able to apply recipes to Sony raw files and export as LUTs for S-LOG2 and S-LOG3, with a live preview shot as you grade it.

Interesting to see the reference to "S-Cinetone 2" in the data...

 Third bonus feature is that this app might allow us to go further in future... I'm getting a good understanding of how the camera OS works.

I have also reverse engineered Canon's picture styles, although this is a topic for a future post 🙂

Region unlocking for the cheap Japanese versions would be welcome .

Not sure open memories tweak supports the newer models.
