Some SONY Cameras have a FireWire interface.
Is it possible to control any camera functions via FireWire using any FireWire SDK etc?
- Tape: record/stop, forward/rewind
 - Lens: exposure, zoom, shutter speed, focus, white balance
 - Other: effects (sepia/invert)
 
Found:
- Adobe Premiere can control Tape playback functions (play, forward/rewind)
