Hi,

i'm trying to capture video in tethered mode but there's only a Button to capture a photo.
How i can remotely start a video capture?

I think it's the small button beside the big capture button. This button is unfortunately deactivated.
The camera used is a Sony a7r II.

Thanks a lot

  Capturing video over a tethered is not supported, neither by CO or the camera.
  The disabled Liveview button is disabled, because the camera does not support live-view via tethering.

  thanks for the sad news ;(
  
  After a short Test with Canon 5d i think it's an CO Issue. Tethered video does not work too.
  With Canon Utilities 3 it is possible to shoot tethered video.

  What exactly do you mean by "shoot tethered video" ?

  i will use CO to set an image overlay to the live view. This is possible for now but i can't start the video recording by clicking on a software-button.
  It's not necessary to store the footage on Computer. I only need a remote record start.

  The button is for opening and closing the Live view stream.
  
  It basically has nothing to with video as such (as it cannot be recorded), but instead it provides a stream direct from the sensor.
  
  In case of the a7r2, the camera simply does not provide this feed, and then CO of course cannot display it.
