Raspberry Pi controlling a DSLR rig Need help

Former Member

Hello i am starting a project to create a raspberry pi dslr rig which can pan tilt the camera and release the shutter remotely. This will be done using GPIO but i am not used to using pi i have had mine for a while but haven't used it and need help programming and possibly making this network compatible. + is there anyway of sending the live view on the camera though the raspberry pi

Thanks Edward

  • gphoto2 is a program that is able to trigger capture and capture the images. But it is also possible to get the liveview images into the computer.

     

    However, not all DSLRs are able to provide the "liveview" stream to the PC. So then gphoto cannot access the view. Many people blame gphoto2 for that, but it is the camera that lacks the feature. So don't buy a DSLR before you know for sure that it supports what you need.
