Error writing options to camera

[ConPhoto]

Essentially I'm trying to do set longterm timelapse, but the focus on camera keeps shifting during course of the day. Ideally I'd set focus initially and then run something like: gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=Immediate --capture-image-and-download

However I cannot set eosremoterelease to any of the options. Either by --set-config or through the python camera-config-gui.py I can change iso, and other camera setting through both of these ways but some camera options I get Error (0x2019: PTP Device Busy) On some errors it triggers the shutter. It feels like a permissions error

mixing eosremoterelease and capture-image-and-download is not recommend, (capture-image-and-download does its own eosremoterelease management).

use something like: gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=Immediate --set-config eosremoterelease="Release Full" --wait-event-and-download=5s

perhaps.

thanks. So, tried that, no shots fired. Reduced it to: gphoto2 --wait-event-and-download=5s --debug

Still no shots fired, so must be something else tripping it up instead (PTP Property!?!). Log attached Apols, not a coder, just curious with an appetite for digital problems :) Guessing here... something to do with PTP opcode? Listed in camera-config-gui.py as: 0x1001,0xparam1,Oxparam2

wait-event just waits and does not do actions. ... you need to have --set-config eosremoterelease=... in the commandline

e.g.: gphoto2 --set-config eosremoterelease=Immediate --set-config eosremoterelease="Release Full" --wait-event-and-download=5s
