K3II can't read output file with AF lens

[Nats-ji]

This is a followup issue to Issue with K3II - Writing to standard output.

This problem is that I thought the output file written problem was fixed back in February. Turns out it wasn't that simple. At that time, I tested the program with a manual lens attached, and I got the output file. However, at the time when I opened that issue, I was having an AF lens attached. Recently I figured out that as long as I have an AF lens attached, I still wouldn't get any output file.

Here are some debug logs when I have AF lens and manual lens attached. debug with M lens.log debug with AF lens.log

I don't really see any reason for behaving differently for M and AF lenses. Maybe it's not able recognise the AF lens? You can check it with --status. Or maybe it tries to autofucus and that's the problem?

I don't think it was trying to autofocus because the shutter was already released. And I think the lens can be recognized correctly.

Here are the debug logs using the lastest release. pktriggercord-cli.exe -i 800 -a 10 -t 1/30 --file_format dng -o test.dng --debug > debug.log 2>&1

I think I've just found out what exactly causing this issue. It's the Lens Correction settings on the camera. Now it's working like a charm. Maybe you should add a footnote in the documentation to let people know they should turn off the Lens Correction on their cameras. However, I can't seem to control the ISO settings. No matter what ISO I set to the output image's ISO is always the ISO set on camera before connecting to the computer. I will open a new post for this issue.
