Bug ID: 389395 Summary: GPhoto and Nikon 5600 foto can only be taken, if beforehand Live Video was opend or viewfinder(settings) is manually activated Product: kstars Version: 2.8.9 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com Reporter: apipa...@web.de Target Milestone: --- Hello, the problem is that the Live Video/Viewfinder musst be manually activated before kstars is able to make a picture. When Live Video is opend or Viewfinder(gphoto settings) is activated a picture CAN be taken successfully. With Live Video/Viewfinder opend the camera Mirror opens? and if not it is closed so a picture can't be taken? It tries to focus and make a pictures, after 3 times it failed it stops and no picture was taken.(Logfile down below) If live Video/Viewfinder is actived beforehand(mirror opens?) than a picture is successfully taken(Logfile below). Its seems that before every picture the viewfinder must be activated, to open the mirror?. Or do I need a shuttercrelease cable? I thought that a nikon camera via bulb connection doesn't need one. but I am new to all this, so I don't know for sure. Thank you for ur help. I use: raspberry 3pi, UbuntuMate 16.04, kstars/ekos 2.8.9, DSLR camera nikon5600 bulb via usb(&extern USB hub for power), Celestron 4se Telescope Logfile if Live VideoViewfinder is NOT activated beforehand, picture failed: [2018-01-25T01:20:38.508 Mitteleuropäische Zeit DEBG ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - Preparing capture job "Light" for execution.
