multiple ptpip cameras connected over usb

Hi,

I have two Nikon cameras connected via USB which are both running in
ptpip mode (D200 and D60). I want to use both for image capturing. Each
camera alone is working fine. But if I swith both cameras on at the same
time, I cannot select the device to capture from. I expected each ptpip
device to have an address, but could not find any yet. Is there any way
to select ptpip devices? The only other way I am aware of is by using
some unused variable to distinguish otherwise identical cameras.

Cheers Lars.

gphoto2 --auto-detect, then feed in the name and port to

gphoto2 --camera "Nikon DSC ... " --port usb:042,042 ... stuff
gphoto2 --camera "Nikon DSC ... " --port usb:023,023 ... stuff


Ciao, Marcus

I had tried capturing using the --port parameter, but without --camera.
That led to the interesting result that, while one camera is a D60 and
the other a D200, on both ports (as found by --auto-detect) the D200 was
answering (and capturing). Is this expected?

I hope to be able to continue the experiments with the set-up next week,
as we had to return the borrowed cameras for now.

Thank you for the help,

Lars.

This is a bug ... Need to fix that :/

Using both --camera and --port is confirmed to work and select between two
cameras.

This is hopefully fixed in gphoto2 2.4.7. Please check.

Hi all,

am I the only one experiencing it... I had the Nikon D60 running with
2.4.6.2, and using 2.4.7 I am not able to change the shutterspeed any
more. No error message, but the exposure time remains simply unchanged.
Is this me doing something wrong, anyone having a D60 running with
libgphoto2 2.4.7?

Cheers, Lars.

Is the shutterspeed2 config variable working?

Hi Marcus!

I did not get it work with neither shutterspeed or shutterspeed2. The
interesting thing is that I do not get any error message, just no effect.

Cheers, Lars.

Hi!

I solved this by setting a camera id in one exif header field (I use a
comment field). That way I can always track an image back to the camera.

However, at the moment I have to find out how to get the camera setting
changed before taking images :-)

Cheers, Lars.
