Bug ID: 516680
Summary: EKOS: Relative focus adjustment for Sony cameras uses
wrong Indi command
Classification: Applications
Product: kstars
Version First 3.8.1
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When trying to operate my Sony a7iii Mirrorless camera through Ekos, I can't
get the application to engage the focus functions of the camera. I've looked
through the source code and possibly identified the issue, which I describe in
more detail below.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect Sony a7iii to computer by USB
2. Launch Ekos, start Indi server and connect devices
3. In the focus tab, click the focus in and focus out buttons
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The camera should focus in and out by a certain amount.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux with X11 and i3wm
Qt Version: 6.10.2-1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have actually gotten the focus functions on my camera to engage by executing
gphoto2 in the terminal with the following command, where X is a number between
-7 and 7.
❯ gphoto2 --set-config manualfocus=x
In kstars/indi/indifocuser.cpp, there's a method called Focuser::moveRel, which
uses the manualfocusdrive parameter from Indi to make the adjustment. I'm
guessing this is the root issue of the cause.
