Hello fellow community

I know this is an old thread, but I just landed here searching for my problem.

If anyone is having problems taking images with a Nikon Z-series, and restarting everything does not help, there is a nice little detail about the mirrorless Nikons. When you unplug the power while the camera is on, the camera closes the mechanical front curtain (I have an external power-supply instead of the battery). The front curtain stays closed after the next power-on until you manually press the release button on the camera. While the mechanical shutter is closed the camera will not take any pictures or open the front curtain from software commands. You only recognize this in EKOS from capture errors and permanent retries.

A nice side effect is, that you protect your sensor from dust when you unplug the power after an imaging session

I have big problems with Indi-canon, when I connect the 1300D everything is fine, but the configuration of the bits and pixels is wrong.
Here's what comes out..

Now instead without doing anything, it has gone to 16 bits!!!

I control my DSLR D7000 with my Macbook
My macbook is at home
My telescope outside.
I use a Belkin Home Base F5L049ea to connect SUB over IP my devices (DSLR + Mount)
I telescope is a Celestron C8 AS-GT.
I tried to used Ekos to capture :
- it works when DSLR is directly connected on USB of my Mac.
But it doesn’t work when I used my BELKIN USB over IP.
I tried with Smart Shooter 4 (in Trial). It works well.
By the way, Ekos works fine to control my Celestron C8 AS-GT mount.

I don’t know why it is not working on Ekos.
Do you use USB over IP with DSLR ? do you have to choose a special configuration for DSLR when using a device USB over IP between computer and DSLR ?

<strong>Hi Robert, Jasem

I pulled the code for the libgphoto2 (lumix) library and indi gphoto driver a few months ago, and after some learning (!) and a few modifications to both, I now have ekos/indi working with my Lumix GF7.
I'm running indi on a raspberry pi 4, and I can stream the live view, capture images in both raw and jpeg with my camera connected to my wifi lan.

Thanks for a great effort in pulling all this together!

I still have a couple of bugs to iron out before I commit the code, but I thought I would let you know in case someone else is working on this too.

The changes will need to be in both libgphoto2 and indi gphoto driver for this to work, and this is the first time I've committed anything to either of these projects so please let me know if there's anything I should be aware of.

Thanks

That's great to hear! Looking forward to the PR!
