Hello
I'm trying to use my digital camera as a webcam but it seems that the
function "capture image" isn't supported by the Gphoto-driver.
I also see that my camera isn't named correctly (it is a "Panasonic
DMC-FZ5" and not a "Panasonic DMC-FS62").
~ $ gphoto2 --abilities
Abilities for camera : Panasonic DMC-FS62
Serial port support : no
USB support : yes
Capture choices :
: Capture not supported by the driver
Configuration support : no
Delete selected files on camera : yes
Delete all files on camera : no
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support : yes
As proposed in your website I'm sending you the output of lsusb, of
gphoto2 --auto-detect and of gphoto2 --capture-image.
