I'm trying to remote control a Canon Powershot S80 digtal camera with with an animation program called Stopmotion. It seems I need a video-grabber to access the camera. I've tried gphoto2, which instantly recignizes the camera and offers to download images (thank you:), but what I really want is the remote capture ability. I've read at Sourceforge that gphoto2 supprts all remote features of this camera, but but when I run it... sequencer:/dev# gphoto2 -a Abilities for camera : Canon PowerShot S80 (PTP mode) Serial port support : no USB support : yes Capture choices : : Capture not supported by the driver Configuration support : yes Delete selected files on camera : yes Delete all files on camera : no File preview (thumbnail) support : yes File upload support : yes sequencer:/dev# gphoto2 --list-config /main/settings/owner /main/settings/model /main/settings/firmwareversion /main/settings/time /main/settings/capturetarget /main/settings/capture /main/imgsettings/imgquality /main/imgsettings/imgsize /main/imgsettings/iso /main/imgsettings/whitebalance /main/imgsettings/photoeffect /main/capturesettings/zoom /main/capturesettings/assistlight /main/capturesettings/exposurecompensation /main/capturesettings/canonflashmode /main/capturesettings/aperture /main/capturesettings/focusingpoint /main/capturesettings/shutterspeed /main/capturesettings/meteringmode /main/capturesettings/afdistance ...I can --set-config capture=on and the camera lens extends, and the shell option works. I've noticed there is no video in /dev. Maybe I need to make a divice node? It seems so near, yet so far. Any feedback would be greatly apreciated.
