Hello everyone!
I just implemented a new feature in indi_gphoto driver to enable mirror lock support, in order to reduce mechanical vibrations.
It's currently implemented only for Canon DSLR with serial shooter cable (tested on my EOS 350d).
To use it, you must first enable it in your camera (usually in the last tab, "
Custom Functions", called "
Mirror Lockup").
Then set the serial port for shooter, and open the gphoto camera as usual.
When a serial port is set, now a new setting appears on connection: "Mirror lock", with a default value of 0.
Set it to a reasonable value (2 seconds will do).
Now when shooting, you'll hear two "clicks" from your camera instead of the usual one: the first pulls up the mirror, the second (after the number of seconds you specified) opens the shutter and starts the exposure.
It will be available in indi-svn soon, Jasem will commit it for me in a while.
Feedback welcome
Marco
