### It doesn't work for me!
First, thanks for testing. If you encounter a bug, please open an issue!

### I don't have Internet Explorer
Well, lucky you :) You can try the experimental [installer](https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE#local-installer) (releases for Windows and OS X are provided).

You can uninstall it normally with the "Application Management" app. The modified settings are preserved even if you remove the app.

### I have an old camera that doesn't support apps
For now, you're out of luck. We can only run code on our cameras through the Android subsystem. For older cameras, you'd have to patch a firmware image with your settings. There is also a USB service mode (senser / adjust mode) which sadly we haven't managed to trigger (yet).

### Can you add feature X?
Keep in mind that this app can only change settings that are already there and just hidden by Sony. However, there are still about 15 000 entries in the settings file. So finding out what a particular setting does is quite an effort. But if you have ideas, feel free to open an issue!
