OM5 support status?

[ontheway16]

Hi, I am wondering if anyone tested the library with OM System's OM5 cameras. I could not find its' name in supported cams list, or any mentions here in issues.

[msmeissn]

we had not reports so far. it might be using the same protocol as OM1, so if you have one you could try testing it?

[ontheway16]

@msmeissn I dont have one at the moment but I am wondering whether it will work, I will try to find one to test and report back from here. I think not much people using it, too bad, such a capable camera.

[msmeissn]

I would giveit a 50/50 chance that it would work already with the OM-1 code.

[ledgitbe]

I have an OM5 and I'd love to test and give feedback but I'm not sure where to start. If there is a branch with OM-5 support using the already existing OM-1 code, I would be able to test it. If it doesn't work with the OM-1 code, maybe chances are it will work with Olympus EM-5 MK III code ?

Using gphoto 2.5.28 with my OM5 connected in MTP mode:

I am not reading anywhere, that its capable of usb tethering, may this be the case ? Since above report says no image capture..

edit. as far as I remember, EM5 mk III dont have usb tethering.

[ledgitbe]

@ontheway16 Indeed this seems to be the case. The camera only offers me these modes:

• storage
• MTP
• webcam

And according to https://software.omsystem.com/omcapture/en/ the OM5 has no USB tethering mode.

[ontheway16]

@ledgitbe then it's a version of em5 mk3, unfortunately. We will hope for OM5 mk2.

[msmeissn]

can you add debug logfiles?

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --debug --debug-logfile=capture.log and attach capture.log here

[ledgitbe]

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --debug --debug-logfile=capture.log

capture.log

I should also explain that I added the USB vendor and product IDs to camlibs/ptp2/library.c before running this capture log. I was just trying to see if that would make a difference.
