However, when I issue gphoto2 --capture-image the camera shutter clicks, I get a confirmation message that an image was captured on the camera (alongwith a corresponding filename). However, I do not find anything on the camera's SD card. I searched for similar issues on the internet and found that I need to set config value "capturetarget=card" which I did but even this did not help. I do not see any file stored on the SD card. I am not a developer and hence not 100% sure but I feel this is because gphoto2 does not understand how to work with the R8 completely yet. Perhaps some aspects work and others need to be "onboarded"?

try 

gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download  

for immediate download from SDRAM.

For keeping it on the SD CARD:

gphoto2 --get-config capturetarget
	to see the options

	and then do:

gphoto2 --set-config capturetarget=card
	(or whatever string "card" is in the get-config list)
