Changing multiple tethered camera properties #175

Open eyeb33 opened 5 years ago

eyeb33 commented 5 years ago

Hi, this is probably more of a lack of my understanding than a true issue but I've had a good look around the documentation and still can't figure out how to change the properties of a number of cameras connected via USB.

For example, is there a way I can set the date to the current one on all connected cameras, or change the shutterspeed for all cameras at once. Do I need to target them individually via port number in a script or is there another way?

The cameras are Nikon D3300s.

Many thanks

gphoto2 itself can currently only one camera.

you either need to adapt it, write your own tool, or use a simple shell wrapper that parses gphoto2 --auto-detect and passes camera name and port into --camera and --port options
