[Gphoto-user] Re mote preview issues, Canon 1000D

[DR.Stein <el...@gm...>]

Hi everyone.

To start with, I would like to say thank you for such a useful software. I
was able to do pretty much everything I needed with my camera, except for
one problem.

Basically, I need a preview picture taken with some constant frequency, and
a full picture taken when a external command takes place. This sound easy,
but if I use --capture-preview, my camera flips the mirror each time the
command is called and most certainly would not last long that way. I know a
workaround for this problem using the --shell, but I can't use a script for
scheduled capture there.

I also thought about using --capture-movie, as It practically does what I
want in the first place. But It is coded to write a large mjpg file instead
of updating a single jpg file with defined frequency.

So as you can see, I'm kind of out of ideas. Can you help me out?
