I am using Canon T7i (X9i).
The INDI module I am using is indi-gphoto (2.2 to 201807161307 ~ ubuntu 16.04.1).
Although 1 second capture works, can not capture longer than that (eg 2 seconds).
If the capture operation fails, all subsequent capture commands will not be accepted and capture will be impossible.
Sometimes Err 70 is displayed on the camera.
I will attach a log.
When using Canon EOS 600D, there seems to be no trouble.
Hello, knro.
Thank you for your information.
I understood that mirror lockup Enable/Disable is not working properly.
The operation seems to be different in some camera models.
Is there a way to disable mirror lockup?
I am worried that the camera will be damaged, as errors will show on the camera side.
I had a look into the menue on the 6D. Mirror-lockup is not in the custom functions of this camera. But gphoto2 --set-config customfuncex=20,1,3,14,1,60f,1,1 is related to the custom functions. So we have a problem with this cam and maybe with others.

I just comment on github to the problem. Disabling mirror lock (in INDI client) will unfortunately not fix the problem.
Probably it is the best just to #if 0 the two lines where the mirror customex is enabled/disabled. It seems to work on some cameras (e.g. 700D), however,
in the current implementation, also when mirror lockup is disabled, the customex function is called because the customex is stateless. One cannot tell (query) via libgphoto2 whether it is enabled/disabled.
Hi there,
It takes time to find the camera that mirror lockup works correctly.
If we have simple commands and procedures to investigate, I think many people will try it.
I will try a new build tonight.
Thank you.
