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.

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

libgphoto2 should be updated to 2.5.18 ... several bugfixes were neeed for newer EOS like the 1300d

hmm, the logs show that the camrea no longer reacts to any command :/ one method would be to try: gphoto2 --reset in that case, which issues a usb reset....

can you try adding in a --wait-event=2s before the capture-image ?

autofocusdrive is a singleshot action, not a state. try to use the eosremoterelease config for direct shutter control and --wait-event-and-download for downloading the ghenerated images

e.g. eosremoterelease=Immediate should immediately trigger capture without focusing. (not sure if that works on EOS M without testing)

i am not sure the focus mode can be swirtched from remote, do you see any ioptions on the m50 config tree?

The device might be blocked by something else. fwiw, also upgrade libgphoto2 to 2.5.27 (2.5.22 is a bit old).

I have not been able to make this work on my side yet on the EOS M100. (The EOS M6 Mark2 can do it.) It might need some settings we...
