Hi Marcus,
I am currently working on a project where I need to utilize continuous
capture from our camera, which is a Powershot G10. We have confirmed that
gphoto2 is working with it, but we are having difficulty utilizing the
camera's continuous shooting feature. Specifically, the camera supports
continuous capturing at ~1.5 fps if the shutter is held down. However, we
are unable to replicate this behavior using gphoto2 -- the image capture
rate is much lower (~2-3 seconds between frames).
Is there a way we could directly activate the full speed continuous
shooting mode on the camera from gphoto2? If so, is there a way to stream
images directly from the camera to the host machine, or to continuously
transfer the images asynchronously such that the continuous shooting could
be sustained for (theoretically) forever (without taking battery life into
account)?
Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
