Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III remote capture works

[gphoto-2]

I hacked libgphoto2 v2.4.2, adding this to camlibs/ptp2/library.c at line 732:

         {"Canon:EOS 1D Mark III jholt (PTP mode)",0x04a9, 0x3147, PTPBUG_DCIM_WRONG_PARENT|PTP_CAP},

(It's a copy of the entry for the 400D)

$ ./gphoto2/gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon EOS 1D Mark III jholt (PTP mode) usb:
Canon EOS 1D Mark III jholt (PTP mode) usb:001,030

$ ./gphoto2/gphoto2 -a
Abilities for camera             : Canon EOS 1D Mark III jholt (PTP mode)

I've had intermittent hangs and errors, but I'm usually able to capture
images:

$ rlfe ./gphoto2/gphoto2 --shell --debug --debug-logfile=mark3debug.txt
gphoto2: {gphoto2: {...le/jholt/gphoto2-2.4.2} /> } /> list-config
/main/settings/capturetarget
/main/settings/capture
/main/capturesettings/focuslock
gphoto2: {gphoto2: {...le/jholt/gphoto2-2.4.2} /> } /> get-config
The command 'get-config' requires an argument.
gphoto2: {gphoto2: {...le/jholt/gphoto2-2.4.2} /> } /> set-config capture=1
gphoto2: {gphoto2: {...le/jholt/gphoto2-2.4.2} /> } />
capture-image-and-download
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera
File capt0000.jpg exists. Overwrite? [y|n] y
Saving file as capt0000.jpg
Deleting file /capt0000.jpg on the camera
Deleting 'capt0000.jpg' from folder '/'...
gphoto2: {gphoto2: {...le/jholt/gphoto2-2.4.2} /> } />

Even if I set capturetarget to record to the memory card, it seems to record
to internal RAM.

I have a 1GB(!) debug logfile (381MB w/bzip2) from that session if anybody
wants it.

I have added it to our internal list, without the "jholt" ;)

The capture protocol for the EOS was fully reverse engineered from dumps
and wild guessing. I have not implemented the card based capture yet, because
I haven't seen / investigated traces for it.

As it did capture, its not that helpful ;)

Btw, list-config should show some stuff to configure (after capture=1).

Ciao, Marcus
