Re: Sony DSLR-A300 wrongly detected

Thanks for the quick reply!
It seems like the A300 and A350 are almost the same, the A350 has a 
better resolution and is a bit more expensive.

After conducting more research it seems like the camera does not support 
capturing via USB. Sony's software "Imaging Edge" does not support 
remote shooting 
(https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/#amount), 
therefore I doubt that it is technically possible. In the USB-Menu I can 
only switch between "Mass Storage" and "PTP" (obviously I had it on PTP)

Thanks for your great work!
