How to Change Japanese to English on a Sony ZV-1 / ZV-E10 Camera (Bought in Japan)
Did you buy a Sony camera such as the ZV-1 or ZV-E10 from Japan? Then you've discovered it ONLY comes with the Japanese language installed. I'll show you how you can access the camera's firmware to enable international languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, and many more.
Sony-PMCA-RE Software

Supported Devices:
https://openmemories.readthedocs.io/devices.html
INSTALL SONY-PMCA-RE ON LINUX
Run these commands in a Linux terminal:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE
cd Sony-PMCA-RE
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo apt install python3-tk
./pmca-gui.py
UPDATE: A few people reported an " Access denied: insufficient permissions" error to me when trying to run these commands when Linux is booted from a USB drive, so I gave it another go. Although I was able to successfully use this method on my computer running with Linux installed it unfortunately does not seem to work when booting Linux off a USB drive.
If you have a spare / old computer lying around, you can install Linux on it and then this method will work. I just tested it again on my computer and it worked instantly just like in my Youtube video.
