The Sony a5000 is an inexpensive 20.0MP camera with interchangeable lenses and the ability to output 1080p 60 over HDMI. It would be great for streaming if Sony hadn't slapped a non-removable overlay on the output.
I'm not a fan of artificial software limitations, so let's remove that nonsense by modifying the camera's firmware using telnet over the built-in Wi-Fi. Like a normal person.
