sony alpha 6000 camera api responds with outdated (1.0) api list

Can connect to sony alpha 6000 via wifi and requesting 'startRecMode' succeeds. However calling getAvailableApiList after startRecMode only gives a list as of version 1.0. That is, features like setting f number or shutter speed are missing and dont succeed. Camera firmware is 3.20.

What do I have to do to get a more recent api version?

It seems I either had an old version of smart remote app preinstalled on my camera or one that didnt match the camera. After installing the current version by directly connecting the camera with the internet (via wifi) things seem to work as expected.

Here are 2 things you can try.

  1. First the "getAvailableApiList" function gives you the option to specify a version number as an additional parameter. Maybe you can try running the "getVersions" command to see what versions of the API your camera supports
  2. You can try downloading the latest firmware for your device here : https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce6000-series/ilce-6000
