What is the difference between Camera Remote SDK and Camera Remote Command?

Camera Remote SDK: Camera Remote SDK is a high-level command system designed for development efficiency that enables operation and control of Sony digital cameras using dedicated API provided by Sony. This is ideal for use with high-level APIs to efficiently develop programs.
Camera Remote Command: Camera Remote Command enables remote control of cameras using a communication protocol that is Sony's proprietary extension of the ISO standard PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). This increases convenience when operating camera products from different brands with a single software, or when applying existing software to Sony’s digital cameras.

Customers using ILX-LR1 Ver. 2.00 or later, ILCE-7CM2 Ver. 2.00 or later, or ILCE-7CR Ver. 2.00 or later

The setting value assigned to “Focus Position Setting” is no longer compatible after updating the camera’s system software. After updating the system software, measure the “Focus Position Setting” setting value once again.
