Exposure level indicator #12

Closed tho068 closed 6 years ago

tho068 commented 6 years ago

Hello

Does this server support exposure level indicator?

mvmn commented 6 years ago

Hi

It depends on your camera. But what do you mean by "exposure level indicator" specifically? A reading from an in-camera light meter? Or just an exposure in seconds set on camera?

I was talking about an in camera light meter.

I am using a Canon 5d mark 3

I cannot see that it is outputted on the website, and I dont think it was listen under gphoto2 list all configs.

Do you know anything about this camera model? Or can you offer some advice as to which camera to choose?

If gphoto2 list all configs doesn't show it - it won't be present in the web interface too.

One workaround to get the light metering is to go to the scripts tab and create a script that would capture preview and then use lightmeter.getForThumb(capturedFile) for getting average lighting value of the captured preview image.
