Sony Alpha a7R II Mirrorless Digital Camera with Storage Kit, $1798

I have a Sony Alpha A7RII. My gimbal connected to the camera by PC Remote Connection. The gimbal support taking pictures and video recording from the gimbal panel and app. I can record video but I can not take pictures., the gimbal support service told me that there is a limitation from the PC Remote protocol of the Sony camera that this model can not save pictures on the camera memory card on PC. Then I start Sony Remote application and looks like it is true I didn't find any options to make a copy on the memory card. Is that a chance to remove this limitation and make the camera to save pictures to the SD Card?.. Looks like since A7III came to the market they have added an option to the menu system which is called PC Remote Settings -> PC + Camera. Maybe there is a chance to the firmware hack just to change default behaviour from saving to PC to saving to SD Card...

Sony Alpha 7R II has finally been discontinued after six years of production.
