#1013 Bulb function does not works for Canon EOS 1200D

[Vince]

Thanks for the job. I like gphoto but I got a bug with my new camera : the bulb function does not works for Canon EOS 1200D. I saw that 1200D is taken since lib 2.5.5.2 so I tried with the latest gphoto2.5.6 and libgphoto2.5.7, but no way I got the message saying that BULB function is not available.

Sorry message is in French :)

Erreur
L'élément graphique bulb n'est pas configurable.
Erreur : Impossible de paramétrer l'acquisition en pose longue, résultat -2.
Erreur (-2 : « Bad parameters »)

Do u think this function will be take in account in future versions ?
Thanks
V.

I advance when i do gphoto2 --get-config shutterspeed, I see that choice 0 = pose longue (means bulb) so I do gphoto2 --set-config shutterspeed=0 and it seems OK.
But impossible to work with -B options or to use gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=Immediate --wait-event=30s --set-config eosremoterelease=Off --wait-event-and-download=2s

What could be the right sentence ? Or maybe it's does not works ?

[Vince]

Ok, It's quite perfect: the sentence is gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=Immediate --wait-event=30s --set-config eosremoterelease=Off --wait-event-and-download=2s
The only one trouble I have is my picture keep in my camera and is not download... just have to improve this and it's ok for the 1200D :) If u have some ideas to correct the download ?

replace the --wait-event-and-download=2s by --wait-event=2s

it will keep the images on the camera
