gphoto2 2.5.17 - Canon EOS M100
Hi ! Thanks for the great work on this project. I'm trying to test the M100 with a simple:
--capture-image-and-download
but I got an error: Could not capture image.
the device display the following message:
Use target device
which does not ring a bell. I've tried the classical: sudo killall PTPCamera without success.
gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.
The auto-detect feature works
gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon EOS M100 usb:020,010
I'm on macOS High Sierra
thanks,
G
i did test Linux, it worked well there ...
is gphoto2 --list-all-config
working? which libgpoto2 version is in use?
2.5.17 should work already nicely though... hmm. can you capture debug output?
gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=capture.log --capture-image-and-download
Hi !

This version of gphoto2 is using the following software versions and options:
gphoto2 2.5.17 clang, popt(m), no exif, no cdk, no aa, jpeg, readline
libgphoto2 2.5.18 all camlibs, clang, ltdl, no EXIF
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0 iolibs: disk ptpip serial usb1 usbdiskdirect usbscsi, clang, ltdl, USB, serial without locking
But the good news is that it works now. Why now? and not before, simply because I forgot to put an SD Card in it.
Nonetheless, I was pretty sure, I was not forced to use an SDCard for the EOS1XXX series (1100, 1200, 1300).
The M series is different a bit. I need to check on my M10 without SD Card... :)
Yes, it is kind of weird. With a EOS serie, there are no issue with an existing or not SD Card.
Can anyone tell me whether Live View is working with the M100? And if so, which resolution it is?
I just got the newest version of gphoto2 and still have the same problem.
Before removing the SD-card from the camera gphoto 'Could not claim the USB device'. After removing the SD-card it could connect but i got the error that's mentioned in this thread
ERROR: Could not capture image. ERROR: Could not capture.
I created a logfile:
I'm pretty new to Linux. Maybe i'm doing something wrong ?
Best regards
EDIT: I forgot to mention, i'm also trying to use a Canon EOS M100, which is listed as compatible. My OS is Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
libgphoto2 2.5.25 is not the current one, 2.5.27 is ... hard to say if this will solve the problem though :/
I tried it gain. This time with the most recent version (2.5.27) and on Manjaro. This the same Error as before:
ERROR: Could not capture image. ERROR: Could not capture.
Either i'm doing something wrong or i'm not sure the Canon EOS M100 should be on the compatible-list.
Still hoping it will work at some point.
EDIT: i also checked the Firmware on my EOS M100 and it's the most recent version available.
I recently got a M100 for the purposes of timelapse. I use tons of T2i's with mo real issue. I am getting the same issues as detailes about with the M100. On the T2i's I can't have am SD card in the camera. Seems to be the same with the M100. Then without the card I ge the other error. "Could not capture image." Actually the first time I attempted with an SD card installed it did work "Once" and not again.
Edit: Summary reports - gphoto2 --summary
Camera summary:
Manufacturer: Canon Inc.
Model: Canon EOS M100
Version: 3-15.0.1.0
Serial Number: F3BBED19F5D64EED9D96DF8A8388D38C
Vendor Extension ID: 0xb (1.0)
Vendor Extension Description:
Capture Formats: JPEG Display Formats: Association/Directory, Script, DPOF, MS Wave, JPEG, Defined Type, Unknown(b103), Unknown(b982), Unknown(b105), Unknown(bf01)
Device Capabilities: File Download, File Deletion, File Upload No Image Capture, No Open Capture, Canon EOS Capture 2 Canon Wifi support
Note under device capabilities - No Image Capture, No Open Capture, Canon EOS Capture 2, does that mean gPhoto2 doesn't support it?
I've now discovered that if I leave an SD card in the camera but eject one of the SD cards mount to the RaspberryPi (2 cards always mount in File Manager when connecting a camera in my experience) then GPhoto2 will behave as expected and taking photos is possible
I've now discovered that if I leave an SD card in the camera but eject one of the SD cards mount to the RaspberryPi (2 cards always mount in File Manager when connecting a camera in my experience) then GPhoto2 will behave as expected and taking photos is possible
Can you explain this to me? I only have one thing plugged into my pi 3b plus and I get some error message about "ERROR: Could not capture image." then it says something about "maybe can't focus" or something, I'll get screenshots tomorrow
I had the same problem on my EOS M100 and I managed to take pictures by ensuring that:
- The camera has enough space in front of it in order to autofocus (if not
Canon EOS M Capture failed: Perhaps no focus?) - The camera folder in Gnome Files is umounted (gphoto cannot take control if the camera files are mounted)
- The camera is correctly configured with the settings I want (RAW images, Flash Auto, etc.) before plug in the USB.
I have an SD card in the camera. Here is the command line:
gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download
Hope this help.
