Oh no... I just got a capture card to use with my A7 III :(

Will give this a shot, luckily I'm still in the return window.

E: Works great! Make sure to enable "PC Control" in settings for other Sony cameras. I had it set to USB Mass Storage (which is maybe the default?)

What card did you get?

Razer Ripsaw HD - it's apparently equivalent to an Elgato HD60S, but most importantly it's actually in stock :)

Before you return your card, keep in mind that gphoto2 will only receive at the resolution of your camera's display. For example, my camera can shoot at 4k, but gphoto2 only provides 640x480p.

Additionally, many camera features (flicker-reduction, electronic shutter options) are unavailable through this method.

This is really equivalent to a camera remote preview video, not intended to be used for actual video capture.
