can you try and see if that helps? |

Hello, Yes it's better, now I am able to take pictures with autofocus. But it is still unstable sometimes it still doesn't work. I would say that it works 75% of the time. Here is the output when it works: Here is the output when it doesn't work Is a debug log would be useful ? Any chance to not have to wait 3 seconds for taking a picture ? Thanks for your support ! |
|
i encountered similar issues with the Sony ZV-1 just 2 weeks ago. :/ For the ZV-1 I looked for indicators that the camera would be ready, but I did not find any at that time. |
|
Thanks I tried with 4 seconds and now it seems to works every time. One other thing, I want to use the Burst mode. But when I set this mode it still takes only one picture. Is there any way to have a "start" and "stop" command for Burst mode ? Thank you very much for your support |
|
I am not aware of how burst mode works on sony and if it can be configured from remote ... the parameters we have do not seem to show it. hmm |

I have the same issues with the Sony RX0 M2 using gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download. The camera hangs until I get this error message after a long wait - perhaps 30-40 seconds. I need to be taking photos as quickly as possible and a 3 second delay is a show stopper for what I am trying to achieve Attached are three debug files. SonyRX0-wait-event3s.txt (this shows what success looks like), SonyRX0---wait-event1s.txt (this hangs) and capture_and_download.txt. SonyRX0-wait-event3s.txt Appreciate any assistance on this. Thank you |

Just to add, camera was set to manual focus. In this mode gphoto2 --trigger-capture works fine. If I set it to autofocus and run gphoto2 --trigger-capture then camera goes through focus stage but does not trigger. gphoto2 --wait-event=3s --capture-image-and-download seems to work the same whether in manual or autofocus. Then I set to autofocus and ran this: gphoto2 --trigger-capture --capture-image-and-download and found that lo and behold the camera took a photo and downloaded to the pc. It seemed a little slow but that might be the time it was taking for the focus to be found. This might be a workaround that looks to react much faster than using the wait-event. Note however this method does not work if the camera is set to manual focus. It would be nice to see gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download work for manual mode without having to put an arbitary delay in place. Hope this workaround is of use to people |
|
Hi there, wondering if there has been any movement on this issue? I have been using python gphoto2 with a capture command in a loop. My preference is to simply have the command without the wait event. |

thanks for the datapoint regarding the in "manual focus" mode that this delays seems not required. I focused on other cameras in the last months, so I did not had access to a recent Sony. I will need to debug this when I can rent one :/ |

I am having a very similar issue. The 3s workaround seems fine if I need to take a single image. However, I need to take images every 1s and if I run the interval with that wait, some images are taken, some are skipped (no particular order the skipped one). I also tried to set the manual focusing and add the As an additional note, no matter which parameters I use I always get Version used of gphoto 2.5.27, libphoto2 2.5.27 and libphoto2_port 0.12.0 |
