indi_gphoto_ccd with DSLR T7i

Hello.
I have a problem.

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.

Are there any advice?
Thank you.

It might be possible it's related to it.

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'm just waiting for some feedback from the patch author before I can make any decision.

Just for info: This error doesn´t happen, If I switch the 6D to Bulb-Mode. Than I can take exposures longer than 1s.

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.

If there is a solution to this (besides completely removing the customfuncex patch), please let me know.

Hi there,

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.

Ok I disabled customfuncex for now until we figure out exactly which cameras are supported by it.

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.
