I have a similar camera as yourself and don't think I've had this problem |
| 34 |
before. |
| 35 |
Can you make sure that the camera is actually connected, and switched on |
| 36 |
(light is on) while running the "gphoto2 -P" command? |
| 37 |
I find that there is a limited amount of time available from turning on |
| 38 |
the camera to being able to download the pictures. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Also, can you make sure that libgphoto2 is compiled with USB support: |
| 41 |
"gphoto2 -v" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
You should see something like: |
| 44 |
-- |
| 45 |
# gphoto2 -v |
| 46 |
gphoto2 2.2.0 |

| 57 |
cdk, no aa, no jpeg, readline |

Your versions will likely be different but I would be able to test with a |
| 65 |
more recent version soon as I am planning on upgrading this machine. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
But the thing you want to make sure you have is the "USB" part. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
If none of this gives any indication, could you run the "gphoto2" command |
| 70 |
with dubbing, as suggested in the output: |
| 71 |
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt -P "[1]" |
| 72 |
Or, if this doesn't work, with: |
| 73 |
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt -P |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
And let me know if there are any further error messages in the logfile. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Kind regards, |
