Can you capture image after few seconds?


Is there some parameter for gphoto2 command to take picture after x seconds? I tried to use -I 5 and -F 1, but it took picture immediately


Solution

  • Yes there is: --wait-event SECONDS, MILLISECONDS, COUNT or MATCHSTRING

    Check out the gphoto2 reference page: http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/ref-gphoto2-cli.html

    This will capture an image after 5 seconds

    gphoto2 --wait-event=5s --capture-image
