Canon custom functions set_config

[mihailtudoran]

Hi,

Is setting canon custom functions supported ? I'am interested in setting mirror lock-up on Canon cameras, by gphoto2 command line it can be done with: gphoto2 --set-config customfuncex=20,1,3,14,1,60f,1,1

But I could't find a way to use the python bindings to perform the same operation, some help or guidance will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I did some tries but failed to get_child or set_child on customfuncex.

The camera-config-gui.py example shows the name and label of all the config items known to the Python interface. If customfuncex isn't there then maybe it's unique to the gphoto2 command line program. The source code is public so it might be worth exploring.

Another possibility is that the gphoto2 command and the Python bindings are using different versions of libgphoto2. You could try the ldd command on the gphoto2 binary and on one of the Python binding .so files to check they're using the same files.

I will post the solution below, thanks!

child = config.get_child_by_name("customfuncex")

to-enable:

child.set_value("20,1,3,14,1,60f,1,1")

to-disable:

child.set_value("20,1,3,14,1,60f,1,0")

camera.set_single_config("customfuncex", child)`
