[gphoto-devel] Olympus PEN Lite EPL3

[Godwin Chidamahiya]

Hi

Please find attached summary of commands i ran as specified on the site:
http://gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php

I am hoping to make a timelapse using an Olympus PEN Lite EPL3 camera
connected to a raspberry pi.

I was wondering if you could help make the camera be detectable using the
gphoto2.

Please help

Kind regards

I may be wrong, but I think that only Olympus EXXXs have capture support in
the firmware, so none of the light versions (E-P nor E-PL, E-PM) are able
to capture with any software. I also think that no OM-D EM has capture
support.
I personally have E-PL1, E-PM1 and EM10 mkII and none of them have
"Control" possibility in the USB Mode Settings menu, it is in the EXXXs
DSLRs only.

They might have different capture control possibilities, but we do not know
it, if it is either there or or not.

Hmm, I would be very pleased to find there is a capture support, because
especially the E-PL1 is my favorite camera.

I think, that if the capture support is there, there would be some Olympus
software working with it. Like Fujifilm has the Hyper-utility. They would
not develop it for nothing. Also some third party soft would support it. But
I haven't heard about any such utility from Olympus.

True to that. If you see such indications I would be happy to hear about :)
