Hi there!

I wonder if I can use my Canon EOS 20D with Linux some way?

I have no clue at all if that's possible and what faunctions may be working?

What I would like is to access the images to copy them to hd and ...

... to use the camera "remotely". For win there is a software which lets you click and clack to settings of the 20D on the monitor and press the trigger with the mouse .. and the image is not stored on CF, it is copied to PC. Don't think this will be poissible with Linux - is it?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings, Sascha

Hi,

My dad has the exact same camera, it rocks btw

Here is a link to one of the digital camera programmes for linux ( well unix based systems ) at www.gphoto.org


PS edited twice, cos i pressed the wrong button not a good start

Hi there!

Thanks for the Link!

As far as I can see it now, this solves my first problem - but not the second? :-)

Thanks so far, works good for me!

Anyone something for the controlling of the cam?

Gretings,
Sascha

I just thought of something...

Maybe you could run that program in Wine?

Yeah, I wil ltry it that way... but not before I am sure there is no Linuxsolution :-) It's not that I really need it, but I wanna play with it :-)

Cornholio- I've got one on the way (UPS says it's in Oklahoma now...). Have you tried gphoto for converting raw images? Can you mount the camera like a usb drive? Just trying to prepare in advance for when it gets here. Thanks.

first of all: gphoto works!

What I am missing now, is a way to use a linux-programm to tell the cam what to do, set the shutter-speed, aperture, take a pic, and so on ...

Thanks all!

If you're still looking for 20D software, check out www.bibblelabs.com - they have native linux software that supports Canon RAW files, and tethered shooting...

Thanks for the link. Do you happen to know of any 48 bit editing software? I can't even think of any for Windows except for PS.
