Re: [Gphoto-user] Can gphoto control zoom and manual settings of a digital camera?

[Vu T. <th...@fp...>]

Thank you Marcus for your quick response.
In fact, I have an old Olympus C-740UZ camera but planning to buy a new one
(Olympus SP-570UZ) and would like to control them via my laptop. However I
don't see neither of them in the list you provided, only the C-750UZ is
supported. 

So, if I try to run gphoto2 with --list-config parameter, I can see which
settings of the camera are supported, is it correct?

Thanks,
Thu

We have quite a number of remote controllable cameras.

Look at this page:

The non-DSLRs can control Zoom Level too, the DSLRs cannot ;)
