Hello, knro
I tried gPhoto CCD with INDI settings.
The behavior at that time was the same as CANON DSLR.
As I posted earlier, I can get EOS-M6 working by setting Capture->[Off] in the [Settings]Tab. As I posted earlier, the rear LCD is showing the picture taken immediately before.
Also, this [Setting/Capture->Off] cannot be saved by using the [configuration]->Save button in the [Options]tab. Every time I launch EKOS/INDI, I need to set [Setting] tab and Capture [ON->Off]. This is the same for both gPhoto-CCD and Canon-DSLR.
We believe that if this behavior is improved, it will be much easier to use.
Thank you.

Hello
I followed the advice and made the following particularly important DSLR settings.
>Option.
/Force Bulb ; ON
>Setting.
/Capture ; Off
In order to let EOS_M6 operate the EOS_M6 correctly remotely, I realized that it is important to set [Capture] in [Setting] to [off], especially if the latest saved photos are displayed on the DSLR's rear LCD display.
Immediately after connecting the USB to EOS_M6, starting up EKOS and connecting it to the INDI, the photo displayed on the rear LCD is off. After that, by setting [Capture] in [Setting] to [off], the display on the rear LCD will again show the photos stored in the SD card.
In this state, the camera can be operated by EKOS for the first time, the shutter is released, the photo transfer is done, and Live View can be displayed. I was very happy when I noticed this operation.
However, after it was working fine, the EOS_M6 would often malfunction again when I changed the settings on the INDI or EKOS side. We have not yet been able to identify the operation that can cause the problem. If this happens, turn off the EOS_M6, close the EKOS/INDI, turn on the EOS_M6 again, start the EKOS/INDI and perform the first setting (Capture=Off, display the pictures stored on the rear LCD) to reset the EOS_M6 and make it operational.
Again, we found out that the important point is to use the Capture button in the Setting tab.
I think this operation is a command to prepare for the INDI operation from EOS_M6 side, so I will be very happy if this problem is solved by INDILib.
thank you

knro Thank you for your suggestions.
1) The command of gPhoto2 that I tried is the following.
gphoto2 --capture-image
You can release the shutter correctly.
gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --filename /tmp/hoge.jpg
The shutter was released correctly, and the file was transferred from the camera to the specified folder on the Raspberry Pi4 and saved.
gphoto2 --summary
This command also works.
The result of this command also seems to show the settings, so I attach it as a precaution.
In the past log, I also saw an article about EOS M6, which is a mirrorless, but it was not clear whether it was solved or not. I hope that I can use it for shooting the starry sky without replacing with a new camera.
Thank you. Yuji

Hello.
I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 4 and installed StellarMate OS with it.
This is because we are going to try shooting with a telescope by remote control. My camera is a mirrorless Canon EOS M6.
I looked for Canon's DLSR related articles in past forum posts as well as tutorials here.
I tried to mess with the settings of various places with reference to those articles, but I still can not shoot with EKOS.
By the way, like the past contributors, shooting with gPhoto2 and transferring files from the camera to the Raspberry Pi 4 are done without problems.
The camera is recognized by EKOS and INDI.
However, I cannot control the camera with EKOS and INDI at all. First, the shutter cannot be released.
There is no shutter sound. Therefore, the setting after that cannot be confirmed. The main settings and the log file are attached below.
If you have a resolved article in the past and I overlooked it, please tell me.
1) Logging Value
Verbose ON ,Log Output to Logfile On
EKOS
INDI ON ,Capture ON
Drivers
CCD ON
2) Profile
MODE; local ,Mount; Telescope Simulator
CCD; Canon DSLR
3)My DLSR; Canon EOS M6 (lense EF 28mm with mount adapter EF-EOSM)
Thank you.
