Support for Canon Digital Ixus 180

[DietBru]

Hi, the Canon Digital Ixus 180 is not listed in the supported cameras list. I tried the following commands:

$  lsusb |grep Canon
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 04a9:32c0 Canon, Inc.

$ LANG=C gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port                                            
----------------------------------------------------------
USB PTP Class Camera           usb:001,011

Doing $ LANG=C gphoto2 --list-all-config > allconfig.txt resulted in the file allconfig.txt.

Trying env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --capture-image-and-download did not work. The log file: my-logfile.txt

Any more testing I can do to help?

all the canon ixus/powershots from the last 5+ years have no capture support over USB in the regular firmware.

over wireless it might work (did not get any success rfeports though) and using the CHDK addon firmware it can work over usb.

I added the ID to our code to recognize it by name, but it will not gain capture abilities by this.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

Hi where can i find the complete list of all supported cameras? From http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php, i see that the Canon Digital Ixus 180 was listed.

[msmeissn]

That is the list of the known camera USB ids we have in the support.php page.

In general we support all PTP cameras, even if not listed by the generic class handling.

can you try update to libgphoto2 2.5.20 and then try

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download

? It seems this camera reports capture opcodes ...

[DietBru]

In Debian/unstable there's only gphoto2 2.5.17-1 and libpghoto2-6 2.5.20-2, so I build gphoto2 from source but used libgphoto2 from Debian:

$ ./gphoto2 --version
gphoto2 2.5.20

Trying to capture an image resulted in:

$ sudo env LANG=C ./gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --capture-image-and-download

*** Error ***              
Canon EOS Half-Press failed (0x2019: PTP Device Busy)
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.
*** Error (-110: 'I/O in progress') ***       

I attached the my-logfile.txt. Hope this helps.

I have added PowerShot / IXUS Canon capture support for some brands in current releases, can you check libgphoto2 2.5.22?

hi msmeissn

after multiple attempts I was able to install gphoto2-2.5.23 and libgphoto2-2.5.23.

unfortunately image capture it's not possible:

Error
Canon EOS Half-Press failed (0x2019: PTP Device Busy) ERROR: Could not trigger capture. Error (-110: 'I/O in progress')

I tried --debug-logfile=log.txt but saved no file, I have copied log in txt, but first 0.1s are missing...

Please help
