Hi all,

I've got this camera which I control via gtkam. All seems well but for
some reason camera settings (color, flash, etc.) seem to sometimes
never take. For instance, you set it up to take a color picture and it
continues spitting out monochrome images. What would this be? A dead
BIOS battery (or some equivalent) inside the camera? Any ideas?

Also, there does not seem to be a TWAIN driver for this one. Or is
there? If not, are there other cameras that have a lens mount on the
outside of the lens for which there exists a TWAIN driver? Thing is we
are trying to attach this one to a microscope and hence need a mount
that would make it possible.

TWAIN driver?

In Linux its libgphoto2 that drives cameras.

The Nikon DSLRs are well supported by libgphoto2. Canon EOS not so well :/

Ciao, Marcus


Thanks Marcus!

OK, in, say, GIMP, you can scan an image off of a scanner but not
capture it from the libgphoto2-supported Nikon Coolpix 900. Now, are
there cameras that I could control via GIMP or any generic
image-processing application as opposed to gtkam?

Boris.
