Get Property

method

GET

GET /api/cameras/cameraId/properties/propertyName

Returns the current value, human-readable format, writability flag, and all values the camera currently accepts.

propertyName

string

required

Any property name from the reference tables below (e.g. iso, battery-remain, movie-file-format, creative-look)

curl http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/properties/shutter-speed

data.value

string

Hex-encoded current value — use this for SET requests

data.formatted

string

Human-readable display value

data.writable

string

“true” or “false” — whether the property can be changed in the current mode

data.available_values

array

All values the camera currently accepts

Set Property

method

PUT

PUT /api/cameras/cameraId/properties/propertyName

Set a camera property. Accepts hex values from available_values or human-readable strings.

value

string

required

The value to set. Accepts multiple formats:

Format	Example	Description
Hex	`"0x1007d"`	Copy from GET response `available_values` — always works
Human-readable	`"1/125"`	For shutter speed
F-stop	`"f/5.6"`	For aperture
Decimal	`"400"`	For ISO
String enum	`"wide"`	For focus area, drive mode, etc.

The safest approach: GET the property first, pick a value from available_values, and send it back in your PUT.

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/properties/shutter-speed \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "0x100fa"}'

The server validates against the camera’s current available_values and checks writability before sending to the SDK. If the property is not writable (e.g. shutter speed in Aperture Priority mode), you’ll get a 400 error.

Get All Properties

method

GET

GET /api/cameras/cameraId/properties/all

Returns all mapped properties with their current formatted values.

curl http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/properties/all

Priority Key

Priority key must be set to pc-remote before the camera accepts any property changes or shooting commands.

Get Priority Key

method

GET

GET /api/cameras/cameraId/priority-key

curl http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/priority-key

Set Priority Key

method

PUT

PUT /api/cameras/cameraId/priority-key

setting

string

required

pc-remote or camera-position

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/priority-key \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"setting": "pc-remote"}'

Property Reference

All 56 properties organized by category. Every property supports hex values from the GET response — hex always works. Always GET the property first to see what your specific camera supports.

Properties marked R/W can be read and written. Read-only properties return data but reject SET requests. Some R/W properties may be read-only depending on the camera’s current mode.

curl http://localhost:8080/api/cameras/D10F60149B0C/properties/media-slot1-remaining-time

Only returns meaningful data in movie mode.

base-look-value

Read/Write — Active base look (LUT) for CineEI mode. The server queries the camera’s display string list to return actual LUT names instead of raw codes.

Response

{
  "data": {
    "property": "base-look-value",
    "value": "0x105",
    "formatted": "User5:February.cube",
    "writable": "true",
    "available_values": [
      { "value": "0x1", "formatted": "S-Log3" },
      { "value": "0x2", "formatted": "s709" },
      { "value": "0x3", "formatted": "709(800%)" },
      { "value": "0x101", "formatted": "User1:Portra+.cube" },
      { "value": "0x105", "formatted": "User5:February.cube" }
    ]
  }
}

curl -X PUT .../properties/base-look-value \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "0x2"}'

Values are packed uint16: high byte = type (0x00=Preset, 0x01=User, 0x02=Scene), low byte = slot index. If the SDK display string list is unavailable, falls back to “Preset 1”, “User 5”, etc.

Requires CineEI mode (movie-shooting-mode = 0x0301). The first request may take ~3 seconds as the server fetches display strings from the camera.

shooting-enable

Read/Write — Enable or disable the shutter operation via SDK license. This is a license-gated feature — the property only appears on cameras with an active shooting license.

Formatted	Hex	PUT Example
Enabled	`0x1`	`{"value": "0x1"}`
Disabled	`0x2`	`{"value": "0x2"}`

curl -X PUT .../properties/shooting-enable \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "0x2"}'

Setting to Disabled (0x2) blocks all shutter operations via the SDK. The camera body shutter still works.

image-id-string

Read/Write — Sets a string identifier that is written to the Exif MakerNote (tag 0x2043) of the next captured image. Used for asset tracking, production workflows, and GPS-image linking.

# Set the ID before shooting
curl -X PUT .../properties/image-id-string \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "PROJECT-ALPHA-001"}'

# Read current value
curl .../properties/image-id-string

Response

{
  "data": {
    "property": "image-id-string",
    "value": "http://en.m.wikipedia.org",
    "formatted": "http://en.m.wikipedia.org",
    "writable": "true"
  }
}

Stored as UTF-16BE in the SDK, decoded to UTF-8 in the API response
Maximum length from image-id-string-max-length (default 64, up to 128 chars)
Setting an empty string "" clears the Exif tag from subsequent images
With a license enabled, supports alphanumeric + symbols: . - _ ' @ ! ? # $ % & * + / = ^ { | } ~ ( ) : ; < > [ \ ] space

The string is embedded in the next image after setting. If you shoot immediately after setting, it may not be recorded — wait for the property change confirmation via SSE propertyChanged event.

image-id-string-max-length

Read-only — Maximum number of characters the camera accepts for image-id-string.

curl .../properties/image-id-string-max-length

Response

{
  "data": {
    "value": "0x80",
    "formatted": "128 chars",
    "writable": "false"
  }
}

Returns 128 on supported cameras (ILCE-1M2, ILCE-1, ILCE-9M3, ILCE-7RM5, ILCE-7SM3, ILCE-7M4, ILCE-6700). If the property is not supported, assume a default maximum of 64 characters.

image-id-num

Read/Write — Sets a numeric identifier written to the Exif MakerNote. Requires image-id-num-setting = On first.

# Enable numeric ID writing
curl -X PUT .../properties/image-id-num-setting \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "0x2"}'

# Set the numeric ID
curl -X PUT .../properties/image-id-num \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value": "12345"}'

Response

{
  "data": {
    "property": "image-id-num",
    "value": "12345",
    "formatted": "12345",
    "writable": "true",
    "min": "0",
    "max": "18446744073709551615",
    "step": "1"
  }
}

The value is a UInt64 range (0 to 2^64-1). Accepts decimal strings only (no hex).

image-id-num-setting

Read/Write — Toggles whether the numeric ID is saved to the Exif tag.

Formatted	Hex	PUT Example
Off	`0x1`	`{"value": "0x1"}`
On	`0x2`	`{"value": "0x2"}`

Resets to Off when the camera is powered off or PC Remote is disconnected. You must re-enable it each session.
