camera summary output

test capture

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download

Does not work, but works in #943 .

gphoto2 --capture-preview

Does not work and times out with the following error in debug:

*** Error ***              
PTP Timeout

*** Error ***              
An error occurred in the io-library ('Timeout reading from or writing to the port'): The supplied vendor or product id (0x0,0x0) is not valid.
*** Error (-10: 'Timeout reading from or writing to the port') ***

Uh-oh. The camera became unresponsive after testing this... I couldn't even turn it off, had to take the battery out.

In mtp mode Sonys are not allowing capture. It should however not crash the camera.

the logfile you sent was on a second try or so, it has not protocol content, just hanging communication

Yeah!

Oh, yes, indeed. Should I open a separate issue on that?

msmeissn commented 6 months ago

no its just a followup issue. attach it here please

kjetilk commented 6 months ago

eh, nevermind this comment, deleted.

kjetilk commented 6 months ago

Anyway, here's the hang:

kjetil@owl:~/scratch/camera$ env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --capture-preview
*** Error (-10: 'Timeout reading from or writing to the port') ***

with my-logfile.txt

I think the capture preview in this mode just hangs / crashes the camera. Not much we can do here, if the ID is provided by the current libgpoto2 gphoto2 will know not to try capture preview.

Oh, oops!

That works for me, the camera does not support it in MTP mode anyway.
