Issue with Tethered Capture: Photos Not Saving to Camera's SD Card #648

I am experiencing the following issue:

When I try to activate gphoto2 --capture-tethered, the camera does not save the images to the card, which starts blinking. The photos remain in a "saving" state but are not stored on the card, even when I remove the cable.

The capturetarget is set to 1.

What's strange is that when I started this project a few months ago (February), it worked perfectly without any problems. Now, this issue is happening. I need support, please, this is really important. I am attaching the log.

gphoto2_debug.txt

I have tried different types of cables, different Raspberry Pi models, different OS versions, various SD/CF cards, and different Canon cameras, but it still doesn't work.

The system should simply allow tethering, and when I take a picture, the photos should be saved with the filename on both the card and the Raspberry Pi.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I also tried using only libgphoto2 with a C code, and in that case, the photos remain in the buffer, but when I remove the cable, they are then saved to the card.

Thank you in advance. I am going crazy.

its very important.

Just to help who has the same problem.

seems that the problem was the WTF/wireless transfer setting of the canon camera in communication tab

PUT Autotransfer OFF and don't use the SET button to send pictures.

I hope that can help u.

bye.

That also not solved the problem does in capture-tethered mode using ptpip we can save images to both camera card as well in raspberry pi or not

If you want to keep it in the camera AND download it, try:

gphoto2 --capture-tethered --keep
