your camera is not yet supported. see: https://www.darktable.org/resources/camera-support/ and https://discuss.pixls.us/t/raw-samples-wanted/5420?u=lebedevri
@ptilopteri D780 is supported at the most basic level, otherwise it wouldn't be in the list at all.
Thanks for the feedback.
I read the text of the tethering troubleshooting section that way, that in case it works properly with gphoto2
it would be expected to also work in Darktable. And that one is supposed to open a ticket if that is not the case.
Anyways, an upload of raw samples using a color card as target to https://raw.pixls.us/ is on the way, containing samples for Nikon D780 with all variants of:
If anything else is needed to support this case, please let me know.
Edit: Upload of samples finished.
Your nikon is supported in libgphoto2 since v 2.5.26, i guess you have at least this installed?
Uploading the files is not the point here as you want tethering, uploading is necessary if dt can't handle the files. I guess that is working...
I am asking because i did most of recent dev work on gphoto2 device handling in dt.
A first question after reading the log: after connection the camera and switching it on - did you ever see a button (in the import & tethering upper left corner) naming the camera offering you to mount it? Please thy again if you are not sure. In any case - if you want to tether or import files from the camera - it must be "mounted", dt does not do this automatically. From the logfile it seems you didn't do so, either because you didn't know to do so or because the button was not there. Please let me know ... (I might have further questions btw willing to track this down :-)
Thanks for you feedback @jenshannoschwalm Apparently, I seem to have misread the documentation of darktable. In one paragraph it said that one should not mount it if one wants to use tethering. When rereading it, that mounting referred to mounting the SD card in the OS and not the mounting inside darktable. After having learnt that, I could get darktable to use the camera in tethering mode (after using the mount option in the import module). Some options in the tethering view took a moment to respond, but apart from that, it seemed to work fine.
Regarding the upload of new samples, I saw that color card pictures were appreciated and the existing ones seemed not to be such. So I made some of that kind and uploaded them. I hope the samples are of any help.
Nice to hear everything works now as expected. Please concider to close this issue ...
Even though the troubleshooting steps (using
gphoto2
) seem to work perfectly fine, it is not possible to use tethering withdarktable
. The option to use tethering is not available in the import module and selecting the tethering view results in the error messageno camera with tethering support available for use...
