Is there a way for the hook script to know when an image is captured, not downloaded, while using --interval flag?

after "sudo apt-get install gphoto2" the output from: "sudo apt-cache show gphoto2" shows the following:

There is an alternative way to upgrade gphoto2: https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater

is there any other automatic way or a possibility to use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"?

Hello gphoto team,

I just updated to gphoto2 2.5.11

But sadly the caturing time on my system rises from 2 seconds (v 2.5.10) to 5 seconds (v2.5.11 )

I have tested both calling gphoto directly:
gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --no-keep --filename myfilename.jpg --force-overwrite

Or calling the capture from the gphoto shell:
capture-image-and-download

My system is:
Mac, OSX 10.10.5
Sony Alpha 7S

Camera Settings
"USB Connection“ : PC Remote
"USB LUN Setting“ : Single

gphoto2 2.5.11 clang, popt(m), no exif, no cdk, no aa, jpeg, readline
libgphoto2 2.5.11 all camlibs, clang, ltdl, no EXIF
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0 clang, ltdl, USB, serial without locking

Well this may rather belong to libgphoto. Let me know and I'll move it.

My target is to capture in bulb mode with Nikon D3200 (latest Firmware, which is 1.04). I saw copy/paste issues in /camlibs/ptp2/cameras/nikon-d3200.txt also false information e.g. live view does work with D3200.

On the road here's what I hit:

1. Bulb mode capture (gphoto2 -B) does not work. From the debug log it seems to me that D3200 simply does not support this tethered. Anyway I attach a debug log from an attempted bulb capture.

2. Downloading files from the D3200 SD card while capturing in bulb mode. This is probably again an unsupported scenario by Nikon and I suspect that there is a rather serious bug in the Nikon firmware. While the bulb capture is active - using either an intervalometer or keeping the shutter release button pressed down - accessing the file system on the camera causes it to physically close the shutter. I do not think there is anything that can be done in gphoto2, this clearly seems to me a Nikon bug/an unpredictable result of an unsupported scenario - whatever we/they call it.

3. Capture with shutter speeds other than bulb (gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download -F 5 -I 4). This works no problems in both single capture and time lapse mode.

Summarizing

1. Someone please confirm that the camera does not support this
2. Someone please confirm that the camera does not support this
3. This is not an issue

Running gphoto2 with interval and capture-image-and-download options causes extra space usage on the hard drive. The space is freed up only after the process exits.

I found this by running gphoto2 on the root partition and --filename option set to a separate data partition. Available space decreased very quickly on the / partition until it was full. Exiting the gphoto2 process freed all the space on root partition that was being used.

I'm rather new to gphoto and I have an issue that I hope someone can help me troubleshoot. I have a Nikon S6200 which works in PTP mode and have wrote a script for a photo booth for a friends wedding. It seems after shooting approximately 15 photos the camera just quits responding. To make sure it wasn't an error somewhere else in the Photo booth program I wrote a script to only capture and downloads images one after another and about 15 photos in it snaps a picture and then just hangs there not downloading anything. Also the camera remains on so I know it hasn't automatically powered down. Any help diagnosing would be appreciated.

Hello,
did someone configure gphoto2 on Synology NAS via IPKG package? I know, the implementation there is pretty old, but should work with my old camera. I have problems to read data from the USB (but camera is recognized correctly)
Thanx for any info,
Jimicek

1. Request for an extension reducing output result:
   I am consuming gphoto2 cli inside a node.js application because node bindings https://github.com/lwille/node-gphoto2 are not really useful, project isn't maintenance any more.

You have changed internally single calling and its now faster, but my application will called gp2 remotely, so I don't always need the whole enum with all choices.
Could you integrate a flag e.g. that gp2 cli is returning only the current value? For example instead of returning
Label: Shutter Speed 2
Type: RADIO
Current: 1/500
Choice: 0 1/8000
...
Choice: 56 Bulb

only a short form like
1/500

I assume an internal solution is more convenient and faster in opposite to have an extra call of awk or sed afterwards.

2. Another request to add the option to returning output in json format:
   In node.js I post process the results from gp2 cli by jq https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ to have always json results to evaluate internally in my code and redirect it easier to a browser client.
   Post processing by jq is very complex and cost additional CPU load. Maybe its easier to transform results to json in gp2 internally?

gphoto --capture-image does not save an image to the camera's card. Instead it states "downloading....." but after finishing
neither the photo is saved to the camera's card not it resides on the host's file system
gphoto --capture-image --filename test.jpg also fails

Test system: raspberry pi b / b+
Tested versions: gphoto 2.5.9 release, and gphoto 2.5.9.1
Tested cameras: nicon 1, canon eos 5d mark II and canon eos 5d mark III

I tested it with version 2.4.x successfully (with the nicon 1 (but had other bugs because of the lacking support of the nicon 1 with the 2.4.x version))

The following command runs without issues (as far as I can tell) the first time:

gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=logfile2.txt --capture-image-and-download

If I try again, I hear the camera take the photo and release the shutter, but there is no response from gphoto2.

More info
This is reproducible on 2 different Canon20D cameras consistently, I've re-installed raspbian and gphoto2 (dev, and stable) still no luck. The really strange thing is that this did work in the past, using the same camera and raspberry pi, under the indilib.org gphoto driver (it stopped working during an imaging session at which point I tried directly using the gphoto cli). I'm wondering if there is some weird state set on the camera's. I've factory reset both, no luck.

apple has the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to connect camera.But，can gphotot2 support it?

Hi,
first of all thanks for the nice work!

I have the following problem. When the shutter of my camera is closed, then gphoto2 --capture-preview works fine. When I call it a second time with an open shutter then the program hangs.

With the API I have a similar problem. If the shutter is closed before I start my program live view works fine (loop of capture_preview calls).
If I start the program with an open shutter it also hangs.

Here some debug info from gphoto2 --capture-preview --debug

Hi guys!
First of all, let me say a huge, major, incredible big THANK YOU for gphoto2.
What a great tool. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

I use it with my Raspi B with the newes Raspian and it works fine. Well, almost.
So I aimed for something bigger, than just taking some pictures in a row. I wanted to take some fast motion of the rising sun every morning.
So I just created a cronjob, tested it, changed it to a point in time for the next morning and went to sleep.
The next morning, there were no pictures at all. 👎
Not what you may guess, I switched off the power down option of my Canon EOS 450 D!
Defently positiv! And it still was switched off the next morning and the camera was still alive. (Accu: 81%)

Let's try something simple.

gphoto2 --list-config

NO response from the raspi. I switched the camera off and on and did it again. The usual printout appeared on the screen. Hmmmm.

I changed the cronjob to about an hour into the future. - Worked!
I changed the cronjob to three hours - Did not work.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Thorsten

Firstly, i would like to say thank you for this great effort to make this cool stuff, this is exactly what i need to play with my camera 👍

this component runs smoothly on iMac late 2013 (use Yosemite), but still got no luck when i try to run gphoto2 commands on my MacBook Pro Late 2013 (use OSX El Capitan). both computer use MacPorts to install gphoto2.

any help will be appreciated, thanks :)

below is log from my attempt to run gphoto2 --capture-image on MBP

Hi,

first of all I like to thank you for the great tool gphoto2.

I have a problem with my new cam. I connect my Sony a6300 with USB (MTP mode) from the terminal.app and gphoto2 on a Mac. I quit the process "PTPCamera" to prevent "Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device')" and type in

gphoto2 --list-files

It works and it shows me

There is no file in folder '/'.                                                
There is no file in folder '/store_00010001'.
There is 1 file in folder '/store_00010001/2016-06-25'.

Thats fine! But after one command then the cam shuts off and I have to restart the cam to make a second command. Here is the version that I use and the debug protocol:

Hello!

I installed gphoto2 using this script: https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater/ on my Raspberry Pi 3 (distro is the newest Rasbian).
I connected my Canon EOS 350D camera with the standard USB cable, and tried to --capture-image but I got the following message:

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): No error description available
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): No error description available

--auto-detect works:

Model Port

Canon Digital Rebel XT (normal mode) usb:001,004

--list-config does not:

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): No error description available
*** Error (-7: 'I/O problem') ***

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list [email protected], please run
gphoto2 as follows:

env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --list-config

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

I attached the logfile.
my-logfile.txt

(Camera is in normal mode because it does not support in PTP.)

Please help!

I took a look at adding camera_trigger_capture() support to the Sony, based on sony_capture_camera(). It didn't go very well. Running gphoto-capture --trigger-capture in a loop on an Sony A7R would cause a shutter release every other time. I must be leaving the camera in a really weird state. Any thoughts on this?

Hi!

I have install gphoto2 and now I was trying to deal with the python interface
I am trying to detect the camera but by using a simple code like this:

 gp.check_result(gp.use_python_logging())
    context = gp.gp_context_new()
    camera = gp.check_result(gp.gp_camera_new())
    gp.check_result(gp.gp_camera_init(camera, context))

I got an error message "Unknwon model[105]" when my camera is a Nikon D40, which is in the list

If I use the terminal interface with:

gphoto2 --auto-detect

the camera is correctly detected

Where is my mistake?

Thank you

Stefano

Hi,

Im just getting started with installing ghpoto2 on a Linkit Smart DUO (http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/LinkIt_Smart_7688_Duo) which is essentially seeedstudio's version of the Arduino Yun running OpenWRT. I have installed all the dependencies without hassle,but since the DUO is a different architecture to the YUN, I am stuck having to compile from scratch.

In the docs online, the slide "Configure, Making, Installing" basically says "Write Me :-P"

Can someone please walk me through configuring, making, installing. I tried simply running $ ./configure.ac after using "$git clone" to download lipgphoto2 and gphoto2 sources. But no luck... "./configure.ac: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")"

Thanks in advance!

Firstly, thanks for all the great work!

The current version of gPhoto 2.5.10 does not permit transfer of RAW DNG or MLV images (created by ML silent photo module) across USB with a canon 700d in PTP. I can only get CR2 or JPG's to transfer. I can not unfortunately remove the SD card and insert into PC as this will be a remote timelapse camera setup. The camera can't be mounted in a USB mass storage mode, so I am stuck with PTP.

Is this possible?

I found some bugs using a Nikon D700 with latest stable 2.5.10:

1. Wrong label "x 200" in shutterspeed2[55], in real "x320" or "65535/65534"

2. Misalignment in dlighting; Label: Active D-Lighting
   Choice: 0 Extra high > D700 shows High
   Choice: 1 High > Normal
   Choice: 2 Normal > Low
   Choice: 3 Low > Off
   Choice: 4 Off > Auto

3. Duplicate naming in returning file names from capture-image, e.g. _NIC9955.NEF:
   gphoto2 --quiet --set-config burstnumber=2 --capture-image will return...
   /store_00010001/DCIM/166ND700/_NIC9955.NEF
   /store_00010001/DCIM/166ND700/_NIC9954.NEF
   /store_00010001/DCIM/166ND700/_NIC9955.NEF

When capturing single image - no problems occur, when using timelapse (-I and -F options) - there are problems (always reproducible) with first image:

[root@localhost]# gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=logfile.txt --capture-image-and-download -I 3 -F 2 --force-overwrite
Time-lapse mode enabled (interval: 3s).

Hi,
I have just updated to 2.5.10 for both gphoto2 and libgphoto2 but now find the --get-config serialnumber returns:
Label: Serial Number
Type: Text
Current: None
This for both a Nikon 610 and Nikon D50, this was working fine in the previous version I was using 2.5.5 and 2.5.5.1
any assistance would be great, I really don't want to go back to the old version if possible.
Thank you
Colin

It seems that specifying the usb port doesn't work for two cameras of the same model. Is there any current work-around for this?

Specifically, it looks like this has just been left as an open problem on main.c#L2452

What would be the preferred way to get this fixed? It seems like gphoto2 assumes there will always only be one camera (with single port settings written to a flat file).

Thanks!

Hi,

I discovered a lag in gphoto2 2.5.6+:

Test-Setup:
Canon EOS 1100D on a i386 Ubuntu 16.04.1 (same results on amd64)
Camera Settings: M, AF OFF (also tried to turn on wich just adds some delay to both), JPEG S1.

Nikon D5300 on a same PC
Camera Settings: M, AF OFF, RAW.

~# time gphoto2 --force-overwrite --capture-image-and-download

Test-Results Canon:
gphoto2 2.5.5, libgphoto2 2.5.9, libgphoto2_port 0.12.0: 4.419s
gphoto2 2.5.6, libgphoto2 2.5.9, libgphoto2_port 0.12.0: 6.337s

Test-Results Nikon:
gphoto2 2.5.5, libgphoto2 2.5.9, libgphoto2_port 0.12.0: 3.480s
gphoto2 2.5.6, libgphoto2 2.5.9, libgphoto2_port 0.12.0: 4.415s

The delay also occurs when shooting in interval mode and triggering with SIGUSR1. I initially discovered the issue in comparison between 2.5.4 and 2.5.9/10.

Kind regards

I've been trying to use interval of 1s to capture images on a nikon camera. If I use the camera's internal interval capturing, it can take images every second with no problems. However, with gphoto2, the capturing would lag behind sometimes to as much as 2s intervals. Where do you think this delay is coming from, and would it be difficult to speed it up?

Built libgphoto2 and gphoto2 on the following system

Any ideas?

The camera was set to the "PC Remote" usb mode, which was tested to work and remote capture on Windows when using the Sony Remote Capture program, and the camera screen was showing "Connecting..." and "USB" text on it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this...
My Grandmother bought my daughter one of these for Christmas:
Discovery Kids Digital Camera and Video
http://amzn.com/B00G49INKA

I'm a Debian Linux user and I can't seem to get this camera to work and I was hoping for some guidance. I'm not sure if this camera is suppose to show up as a mass storage devices, MTP, or PTP. I brought it to work and it mounts as a regular drive on the Windows machine there.

On Linux I can see it with 'lsusb'

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0d98:1007 Mars Semiconductor Corp. Discovery Kids Digital Camera

If I "gphoto2 --list-ports" I believe these ports listed are the camera:

usb:003,005                           Universal Serial Bus            
usb:003,004                           Universal Serial Bus            
usb:003,003                           Universal Serial Bus            
usbdiskdirect:/dev/sdb           USB Mass Storage direct IO      
usbscsi:/dev/sg2                    USB Mass Storage raw SCSI 

Most other gphoto2 commands give me this message:

*** Error ***              
Could not detect any camera
*** Error (-105: 'Unknown model') ***   

The device "/dev/sdb" has no partitions and can't be mounted itself and fdisk gets this error:
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: Input/output error

after pluging in the camera dmesg show these messages repeated a number of times:

[ 1090.314634] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
[ 1090.314640] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Read(10) 28 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 00

[ 1090.314646] Buffer I/O error on dev sdb, logical block 1, async page read

I also can "cat" of "dd" anything from /dev/sdb

Any direction on what to do would be great. It's not a big deal, but my daughter likes playing with this camera, and it only has 13MB of storage, so it fills up fast.

Thanks

Hello, I am using Nikon d7000 with gphoto on Gentoo Linux. Several months ago it worked, but after upgrade gphoto2 can't discover the DSLR. What may be wrong?

Hi,
I installed the latest stable versions:

• gphoto2-2.3.10.tar.bz2
• libgphoto2-2.5.10.tar.bz2
• libusb-1.0.20.tar.bz2

Capture & Save photo is working; but when I try to get or set the config it shows me this error.

$ gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
gphoto2: symbol lookup error: gphoto2: undefined symbol: gp_camera_get_single_config

I`m trying to use only the gpoto2 CLI.

Greetings

I'm running gphoto2 on a Rasberry Pi 2 with a Nikkon D8. I can capture images just fine but I get a "PTP Operation Not Supported" error when trying to set the f-number. From reading the options for the Nikkon D80 on the gphoto2 list of supported cameras I figured that such an operation is supported but I may have understood the description incorrectly. Cam someone confirm whether this operation is supported on this specific camera?

Hello, we have been testing the sony a6000 with libgphoto and Gphoto2 .
When we were using Gphoto2, --capture-image-and-download --interval=1 , the interval stop after 12-30 pictures for 35 seconds and then take a couple of pictures and then an other 35 sec wait and so on. We also tested with an other program using libgphoto and the same problem happen.

First of all, thanks for this fantastic tool.

is there an option, to change the camera settings like aperture or shutterspeed while tethered shooting ? When I do this on an terminal: gphoto2 --auto-detect --capture-tethered --hook-script=hook.sh --filename image.jpg
and on an other terminal i'll do this: gphoto2 --set-config aperture=8
gphoto cancel the tethered-shooting and get an error.

thanks,
kleinschmidt

Hi,
I am using Gphoto2 with a raspberry Pi to make a portable device for backing up photos from a camera.
I have a bash script that runs --autodetect to find teh camera.
It then creates a new folder on the backup media.
Then runs --get-all-files.sh .
Everything works fine if I use a USB stick as the backup media.
--autodetect just detects the camera & the photos are copied from the camera to the USB stick.

Problems arise when I use a portable HDD drive (with powered hub) as the backup media.

--auto-detect detects both the camera and the HDD:
(both as 'Mass Storage Camera' when camera is connected as USB Mode: PC)
or
( Camera as 'Camera Model Name' and HDD as 'Mass Storage Camera' when camera is connected as USB Mode: PTP)
& it eitherway it proceeds to copy photos from the HDD back to the HDD instead of from the camera to the HDD.

Even if I filter the --auto-detect to screen for just the camera, it detects just the camera OK but again copies the files from the HDD instead of the camera.
It's almost like it can't cope with 2 devices

gphoto2 v2.5.6
libgphoto2 v 2.5.4
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0

Fairly new to all this stuff - so any ideas pls.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for such a great tool!

I often use the following command to configure my DSLR (Canon 350D):

gphoto2 --set-config-index /main/settings/iso=10 --set-config-index /main/settings/capturesizeclass=0 --set-config-index /main/settings/shootingmode=4 --set-config-index /main/settings/shutterspeed=16 --set-config-index /main/settings/aperture=12 --set-config-index /main/settings/focusmode=3 --set-config-index /main/settings/imageformat=8

The quoted setting values are just examples.
When I run this command from a Raspberry Pi 3 it takes about 35s to run! From my desktop PC (ubuntu) it takes substantially less time because it is a more powerful computer, but it is still quite a slow command. This tells me that the speed issue is not related to the camera (otherwise the command would require approximately the same time to run in either case).

I am surprised that a text based command like this can be so slow. For example, the time to download a RAW picture from the camera, which usually has a size around 8MB, is much much shorter, typically around 1s, also with the RasPi3.

Could this be a problem with the inner workings of gphoto2? How does gphoto2 process all the parameters I'm sending? Is there a better (faster) way of changing a bunch of settings at a time?

Note: currently using version 2.5.9-3 of gphoto2

Thanks in advance!

I was randomly looking at gphoto2 code when I saw something very weird that I guess is testing code that was forgotten.

Look at the following line of main.c : save_file_to_file:

It looks like that for downloading files content, you are randomly choosing between libgphoto2 "fd" or "handler" method. If I suppose that both methods work correctly in all situations, that looks a little weird for me and could be cause of random non understandable issues?

This was introduced by the following change:
ae995fe#diff-58ad5a323f09c958fa9666f43f1cf7f7R543

Hi!

I have got:

• gphoto2 2.5.4 gcc, popt(m), exif, cdk, no aa, jpeg, readline
• libgphoto2 2.5.4 all camlibs, gcc, ltdl, EXIF
• libgphoto2_port 0.10.0 gcc, ltdl, no USB, serial lockdev locking

I use gphoto to get photos from my cam via Wi-Fi, command looks like:
gphoto2 --port ptpip:$ip --quiet --skip-existing --new --get-all-files --filename=$MEDIA_DIR/$FILENAME_FORMAT;

$FILENAME_FORMAT is %Y/%m/%d/%f.%C, so it creates new folder every day and it looks like '2016/05/11'
Issue: I've noted it creates new folder with wrong rights:
drwx------ 2 shura shura 4096 May 11 20:24 11/
i.e. it's 700, but by fact it should be 775 (my umask is 002)

Could you please fix it? My wife cannot access the photos!

Best regards,
Alexander

According to release notes of new version 2.5.10, its recommended to use new single configuration set/get if possible. Are there any examples how we have to handle new syntax?

Hi there,
I tried to install gphoto2 only, from its directory. Steps I did:
(libgphoto2 is already installed)
"svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gphoto/code/trunk gphoto-code"
"cd gphoto-code/gphoto2"
The README in there tells me to run:
"autoreconf -is"
and I get the error:
"aclocal-1.15: error: couldn't open directory 'm4m': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (not found)

Hi there,
I know this has been talked about in the mailing list but didn't see a bug posted here. Symptoms are various Sony cameras will take pictures in timelapse mode just fine for quite some time then stop capturing.

I've also experienced a timelapse set for say - a 20 second interval - will take no photos for 40 seconds then two photos in quick succession. Debug log shows "no object found during event polling. try the 0xffffc001 object id" when this happens.

Let me know if I can help with debugging.

Hi, I want to use my Nikon D5300 via ptpip, this works fine on my laptop running Ubuntu and

gphoto2         2.5.9          gcc, popt(m), exif, no cdk, aa, jpeg, readline
libgphoto2      2.5.9          all camlibs, gcc, ltdl, EXIF
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0         gcc, ltdl, no USB, serial without locking

But on my raspberry pi it will not work, tried from apt with version 2.5.4 and compiled to 2.5.10.
my exact command is gphoto2 --port ptpip:192.168.1.1 --capture-image. The command gets called, but never ends. Any suggestions?

I'm researching about control Ricoh Theta S camera over USB hub with gphoto2 library. I can get and download files from Ricoh Theta S camera but when capture image appeared error

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <[email protected]>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:

    env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --capture-image

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

Please help me.

I run
gphoto2 --get-config /main/capturesettings/imagequality

and besides the correct output (i.e. different choices) I also get
*** Error ***
Property '/main/capturesettings/imagequality' not found.

(even though the property is clearly there).

running gphoto2 --list-all-config produces the whole config without any problems.

(this is not specific to imagequality)

Hi Marcus,

First of all: Thank you for such a great tool! Please let me know how I can donate to the project.

A few days ago, I set up a webcam with a Canon 1200D and a Raspi at the restaurant of my daughter's boyfriend family (ladarsena.it/webcam). SInce a webcam doesn't need to adjust the focus, I use eosremoterelease=5 to capture the image immediately. I use exactly this command:

gphoto2 --force-overwrite --set-config imageformat=3 --set-config iso=0 --set-config eosremoterelease=5 --capture-image-and-download --filename image.jpg

Usually it works perfect, but once in a while I get an error. In the night the error persists, then I have to change "-capture-image-and-download" to "--wait-event-and-download=35s". This works until the next morning, then the same error occurs and I have to switch back to "-capture-image-and-download" to get it running.

Debug log attached. Any ideas?

Thanks
Peter

Here is a strange one, I'm trying to capture photos straight from the Canon 80D, while shooting.
This is on a MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.12.1 with gphoto2 2.5.11 (libgphoto2_port 0.12.0)

Running this command:
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile1.txt gphoto2 --capture-tethered

It works sometimes, before it stops with this error:
UNKNOWN unhandled EOS event StorageInfoChanged (size 12)
*** Error ***
PTP General Error
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***

Often, it will show the error on the 1st shot, but if the subject is bright (not too dark) it usually will work.
For a while, I thought I had it figured it out. I thought it works only, if I set the shutter speed to faster than 1/400 of a second, because it always failed on me at 1/250 or slower.
Tonight however, I broke that rule too. Only when photographing a very bright subject at 1/800 it would work.

Anyways, if you want to look into this, here is the log file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eofiwg1tyvqy40u/my-logfile1.txt.zip?dl=0

Btw, I could NOT reproduce the error with --capture-image-and-download nor with --capture-preview

Hello,

I would like to report an issue which is seemingly linked to the update from gphoto2 2.5.9-1 to 2.5.10-1 and from libgphoto2 2.5.9-1 to 2.5.10-1.
I am using a Nikon DSC D3300 and the command '--get-config serialnumber' returns

Modèle                        Port                                             
----------------------------------------------------------
Nikon DSC D3300                usb:001,010     
Label: Numéro de série
Type: TEXT
Current: Aucune

In other words, it seems that gphoto is no longer able to read serial numbers.
The problem is the same when using Entangle.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help!
