My goal is to use my PC as a remote control/live monitor for my Sony a7s. I have a micro HDMI to HDMI cable connecting the a7s to my PC via the Elgato Camlink 4K.

My Windows PC does recognize the camera, and in the camera app, it functions as a live monitor. However, the Sony Imaging Edge software does not detect my camera, so I am unable to use it as a remote (settings control).

Does anyone know if this limitation is due to the Sony a7s being fairly old these days, or if I am missing a piece/step to get this working?

Big thanks to anyone who can help!

This is a shareable digital flipbook view of the zine, and you can download the free PDF through the link as well.

This is just a silly little goof. It’s 12 pages.

Hey folks,

My VX1000 has a mini DV tape stuck in the deck. For someone who doesn't take tech apart, is this easy or safe enough for me to attempt myself? I have a family video tape I am hoping to recover. The cassette deck opens with the switch, and the orange playback controls light up, but the release mechanism won't perform. There's a white up-triangle (arrow) that flashes and beeps while the camcorder is on.

If this is something I can do, could someone give me some pointers on sorting this out and how to do it?

Thanks a lot!

Hey! Using shortcuts or some Windows method, could someone help me create an automation?

Basically, I want to press a button or enter a shortcut that automatically opens a website from the clipboard in Chrome with specific text prepending it.

If a website link is copied to my clipboard, can I have a button open a Chrome window, paste it, and enter the link with removepaywalls.com/ prepending it?

A huge thank you to anyone who can help me!
