test if capture perhaps already works:

output:

Sorry, your camera does not support generic capture
ERROR: Could not capture image.

One more point, when I run: gphoto2 --auto-detect, I get this output:

Model                          Port

USB PTP Class Camera           usb:001,009     

On my camera itself I got the option to connect to the computer using MTP

Trying to connect the camera to my computer using any other setting results in no output using the auto-detect command.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't support generic PTP capture. If the camera is capable of doing capture then it is using a different protocol.

the ids reported indicate its just MTP for downloading images.

You can try

gphoto2 --summary --debug --debug-logfile=summary-debug.log

and attach summary-debug.log here so we can look at what the camera reports.

Here you go:

summary-debug.log

i looked over it and it really only has the regular PTP and MTP capabilities, there is no "vendor" opcode or any capture related thing mentioned.

So the camera has no remnote control abilities...

If there is Windows software that does remote control, we would like to know about it, but so far I am assuming the camera is not remote control capable.
