For Linux users there is a Python script (airmtp.py) that allows you to download pictures from your camera to your Linux computer (which means to your raspberrypi as well) using a WiFi connection.

Howto.

Download the ZIP file from GitHub.

wget https://github.com/shezi/airmtp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip unzip master.zip mkdir Camera-download

#!/bin/bash cd /home/pi/airmtp-master # Start your camera -> menu -> WiFi -> Send to Computer -> start the script # find the ip address of your camera using arp and the MAC address and grep the ip address out of the arp discovery. # the MAC address of Sony cameras starts with '00:ae'. ip=$(arp -a | grep '00:ae' | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}') # the script has found the camera's ip address # transfer this ip address inside the script python3 airmtp.py --ipaddress $ip --outputdir /home/pi/Camera-download #Attention; the directory to download the jpg files must be the same as the one on the line above. # discovered on https://github.com/shezi/airmtp

In case you want to follow the correct execution of the script, type: sh -x name-of-your-script.sh

Enjoy!
