Here is how I capture image with my camera
import logging
import gphoto2 as gp
def main():
def callback(level, domain, string, data=None):
print('Callback: level =', level, ', domain =', domain, ', string =', string)
if data:
print('Callback data:', data)
logging.basicConfig(
format='%(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s', level=logging.WARNING)
callback_obj = gp.check_result(gp.use_python_logging())
camera = gp.Camera()
camera.init()
try:
camera_file_path = gp.check_result(camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE))
except gp.GPhoto2Error as ex:
print("callback: ", ex, ex.code, ex.message, ex.string)
camera.exit()
if __name__ == "__main__" : exit(main())
If the camera is not able to focus it generates following error
...
WARNING: gphoto2: (ptp_usb_getresp [usb.c:466]) PTP_OC 0x90c8 receiving resp failed: Out of Focus (0xa002)
WARNING: gphoto2: (camera_nikon_capture [library.c:3153]) 'ret' failed: 'Out of Focus' (0xa002)
WARNING: gphoto2: (gp_context_error) Out of Focus
WARNING: gphoto2: (gp_camera_capture [gphoto2-camera.c:1340]) 'camera->functions->capture (camera, type, path, context)' failed: -1
('callback: ', GPhoto2Error('[-1] Unspecified error',), -1, '[-1] Unspecified error', 'Unspecified error')
The exception error code is -1
but how can I capture Out of Focus
warning?
UPDATE
Filtered out unnecessary errors from logs
import logging
import gphoto2 as gp
from datetime import datetime
def main():
def callback(level, domain, string, data=None):
err_codes = ("(0x2005)", "(0x2019)")
if not string.decode().endswith(err_codes):
print("[{0}] {1}: {2}".format(datetime.utcnow(), domain.decode(), string.decode()))
if data:
print('Callback data:', data)
callback_obj = gp.check_result(gp.gp_log_add_func(gp.GP_LOG_ERROR, callback))
camera = gp.Camera()
try:
camera.init()
except gp.GPhoto2Error as err:
exit(err.code)
try:
camera_file_path = camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE)
except gp.GPhoto2Error as err:
exit(err.code)
camera.exit()
if __name__ == "__main__" : exit(main())
You've defined a callback function, in which you could parse the error string to detect out of focus, but you haven't installed your callback so libgphoto2 isn't using it. Use gp_log_add_func
to install your callback.
Also, you're passing the return value of camera.capture
to gp.check_result
. This is incorrect as camera.capture
already checks the result and raises an exception if there's an error.
