I'm not a Nikon user, but with my Canon I can call 
gp_camera_wait_for_event() repeatedly and it tells me when I adjust 
settings on the camera.

I haven't tried it but I assume the gphoto2 command option --wait-event 
does something similar. The documentation says it works on Canon EOS and 
Nikon DSC.
