Hello, I have a Nikon J5 that I'm trying to control from my Ubuntu desktop.
gphoto2 recognizes it:
*$ gphoto2 --auto-detect*
Model                          Port                                            
----------------------------------------------------------
Nikon J5                       usb:003,006 


Now, I want to trigger video capture from my desktop, but I don't seem to be
able to.
Here are the commands I've tried and the error messages I got:
*$ gphoto2 --set-config movie=1*                                                                              
*** Error ***              
The movie widget is not configurable.
*** Error (-2: 'Bad parameters') ***       
For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.

If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <[email protected]>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:
    env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --set-config
movie=1
Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

*$ gphoto2 --capture-movie*
Capturing preview frames as movie to 'movie.mjpg'. Press Ctrl-C to abort.      
ERROR: Movie capture error... Exiting.
Movie capture finished (0 frames)


I'm wondering if movie capture is simply not supported for this camera, as
it doesn't show up in Capture choices:
*$ gphoto2 --abilities*
Abilities for camera             : Nikon J5                                    
Serial port support              : no
USB support                      : yes
Capture choices                  :
                                 : Image
Configuration support            : yes
Delete selected files on camera  : yes
Delete all files on camera       : no
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support              : yes


So does movie capture trigger not work for Nikon J5? Are there any
workarounds?
I would really appreciate any help :)
