RS-232C Connector Pinouts
Hardware and software can be damaged by RS-232C
control programs developed using this command list. Sony
shall accept no liability for any such damage.
You can externally control various camera functions by
sending commands via the camera’s RS-232C interface.
Setting values for various functions can be stored in the
camera’s internal memory. The non-volatile internal
memory preserves data even without power, so you can
resume operation with the same settings when power is
restored.
