#121 Take 2 pictures in burstmode

[R4C3R]

Hi,

Im trying to achieve the following':

• take 2 pictures in burst mode
• use the RAM of the Nikon D3300 (not the SD Card!)
• download the 2 pictures to an NFS share

I used the following command to set the camera in burst mode:

gphoto2 --set-config /main/capturesettings/capturemode=1

I used the following command to set the camera to use the RAM for saving the pictures:

gphoto2 --set-config /main/settings/capturetarget=0

I am not sure how to set the number of pictures to take in burst mode to 2. I tried the following without succes:

gphoto2 --set-config /main/capturesetting/burstnumber=2

I don't know how to take the 2 pictures and download them. I tried the following without succes:

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download

which took just one picture and saved it to the NFS directory when the command is executed from this directory.

I have found out that when I don't have an SD Card in the camera it takes just one picture, as described above.

The steps I took above should be the way to do it, in summary:

Execute the commands from the destination directory for pictures, this can be an NFS share like I want:

use Burstmode on Nikon D3300

gphoto2 --set-config /main/capturesettings/capturemode=1

capture to RAM

gphoto2 --set-config /main/settings/capturetarget=0

set the number of pictures to take to 2

gphoto2 --set-config /main/capturesetting/burstnumber=2

take 2 pictures in burstmode, save to ram and download

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download

However, if I place an SD card in the camera and continue to use the RAM as capturetarget it takes 2 pictures in burstmode, saves it to RAM, downloads 1 picture BUT then results in a PTP I/O error before the downloaded picture is saved. I have filed this error as a bug.
