[Antonio Pano]

I am sending you the reported files that you ask for in your URL. If you
can make it compatible, I will be eternally grateful. If I had more
knowledge about your programming I would be happy to help you.


The result that gives me on screen is the following:

:~$ gphoto2 --capture-image


*** Error ***
Sorry, your camera does not support generic capture
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.
*** Error (-6: «Unsupported operation») ***

Please use the --debug option to get debugging messages.
These messages can help you find a solution to your problem.
If you plan to send any error or debug message to the list
Distribution of gPhoto developers <gphoto-***@lists.sourceforge.net>,
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.

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


*** Error ***
Sorry, your camera does not support generic capture
ERROR: Could not capture image.

Thanks and regards to the whole team.

Hi!

Thanks for the report!

The Canon powershots for several years now sadly do not support remote capture over USB.

You can try installing the CHDK third party addon firmware, for which
we have limited capture support built in.

Ciao, Marcus
