Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 12:30:01 +0200 From: David ROBERT To: gphoto-devel Subject: Problem with canon D30 support Hi guys! First of all thank you very much for the job you've done with gphoto. I trie to make my D30 work with gphoto, I've downloaded/installed gphoto2-beta2 / libusb 0.1.3b My D30 is well seen by gphoto2, the first thing whitch surprised me is when gphoto2 access the D30 (list or download) My D30 don't write on the LCD a bliking 'buSY' and I still can push D30 buttons witch will fail everything. The second problem is that my D30 don't work anymore after using gphoto, I have to switch it off and on again. The D30 don't respond anymore it's freezed. (I think the problem is binded with the buSY problem witch maybe turn the camera in usb control mode ?). The third problem is using the gphoto2 shell and trying to download an image : gphoto: {/usr/local/bin} /> get IMG_8436.JPG core: ENTER: gp_camera_file_get gp_port: Opening port... gp_port_usb_open() called [...] canon: is_movie(D.CTG) == 0 canon: is_thumbnail(D.CTG) == 0 canon: Filename ' IMG_8436.JPG' path 'D.CTG' not found! ^ I think the blank here is the problem gp_port: Closing port... gp_port_usb_close() called gphoto: {/usr/local/bin} /> What works : root@ombrepix bin]# ./gphoto2 --camera "Canon EOS D30" --port usb: --list-files canon_initialize() Debug level: 1 Status: Detected a EOS D30 Files in /: #1 IMG_8259.JPG image/jpeg #2 IMG_8260.JPG image/jpeg #3 IMG_8261.JPG image/jpeg #4 IMG_8420.JPG image/jpeg --get-all-images works but crashes if i touch a D30 button.

Both of these are quite old in respect to was has been done to the code base after these releases. So as a rule, you're probably better off using a current version from CVS. But I have the impression you have hit upon all of the main "known bugs" :-) > My D30 is well seen by gphoto2, the first thing whitch surprised > me is when gphoto2 access the D30 (list or download) My D30 > don't write on the LCD a bliking 'buSY' and I still can push D30 > buttons witch will fail everything. We don't know the protocol to switch the camera to "computer mode" yet. We'll have to find better information about to protocol in order to do that. This is definitely on our TODO list. > The second problem is that my D30 don't work anymore after using > gphoto, I have to switch it off and on again. The D30 don't > respond anymore it's freezed. (I think the problem is binded with > the buSY problem witch maybe turn the camera in usb control mode ?). I think you're thinking correctly. Obviously different Canon cameras handle that differently well: My PowerShot G2 allows me to view images on the cam while it is connected to the 'puter. Only when deleting images, something goes wrong so I have to switch the cam off and on again. > The third problem is using the gphoto2 shell and trying to download > an image : I think the gphoto2 shell didn't work in that release of gphoto2 because the canon driver didn't use the CameraFilesystem yet. We changed that two days ago, so it might work in current CVS. I'll have a look at the shell during the next few days. (Or somebody else on this list will.) > gphoto: {/usr/local/bin} /> get IMG_8436.JPG > core: ENTER: gp_camera_file_get > gp_port: Opening port... > gp_port_usb_open() called > [...] > canon: is_movie(D.CTG) == 0 > canon: is_thumbnail(D.CTG) == 0 > canon: Filename ' IMG_8436.JPG' path 'D.CTG' not found! > ^ I think the blank here is the problem > gp_port: Closing port... > gp_port_usb_close() called > gphoto: {/usr/local/bin} /> > > > What works : > root@ombrepix bin]# ./gphoto2 --camera "Canon EOS D30" --port usb: > --list-files > canon_initialize() > Debug level: 1 > Status: Detected a EOS D30 > Files in /: > #1 IMG_8259.JPG image/jpeg > #2 IMG_8260.JPG image/jpeg > #3 IMG_8261.JPG image/jpeg > #4 IMG_8420.JPG image/jpeg > > --get-all-images works but crashes if i touch a D30 button. --list-files, --get-image and --get-all-images are the most important functions and therefore those which work best :-) The crash after pressing a button is permissible considering we don't tell the camera to lock its keys. These are all stuff we're working on. I joined the team to improve the canon driver in the first place, but it appeared more important to do some work on the common gphoto2 infrastructure first. In case you're using a current Redhat Linux i386 and do not want to compile your own software from CVS: I try to maintain an inofficial but reasonably current set of RPM packages at http://n-dimensional.de/packages/RPMS/i386/ featuring libusb, gphoto2 and gtkam.

May I include you there? Yes of course, I want to help as much as possible I have just downloaded the last CVS and I confirm that the shell bug is fixed : I can now download an individual file using the shell client. David.
