Hello dear gPhoto-Team,

I am trying to add a Sony DSC-W830 camera, to take pictures with a Raspberry Pi.

Unfortunately, this camera is not working with gPhoto and is not listed in supported camera list.

I enabled the PTP/MTP Mode in the camera settings. As requested, I attached you the summary and config.txt.

Output of gphoto2 --capture-image:

*** Fehler ***
Sorry, your camera does not support generic capture
FEHLER: Konnte Bild nicht aufnehmen.
FEHLER: Konnte nicht aufnehmen.
*** Fehler (-6: »Nicht unterstützte Funktion«) ***

Looking at teh summary.txt file it looks like the camera is not supported.

However using gphoto1 --abilities it looks like it should work.

Fähigkeiten für Kamera : USB PTP Class Camera
Unterstützung für seriellen Port : Nein
USB-Unterstützung : Ja
Aufnahme machen (Auswahl) :
: Bild
: Bildvorschau
Konfigurationsunterstützung : Ja
Unterstützung für das Löschen einzelner Bilder: Ja
Unterstützung für das Löschen aller Bilder : Nein
Unterstützung für Bildvorschau : Ja
Unterstützung für Bildhochladen : Ja

As soon as I plug the cable into the camera the lens retracts and closes the lid.

I would be very happy to hear back from you (trying to make a Raspberry Project for a wedding) and of course happy to donate to the project :)

Kind regards from Germany
Marcelo
