I am using Nikon 995 and I download the images to linux directly (via
USB). The model supports the kind of flash storage protocal, and I can
mount it directly as a local directory. I heard that many new cameras
could be mounted too.
Good point. I don't think Gphoto (at least the version I have) works
with my camera (a Canon G5) in PTP mode - which is what I believe would
be needed for it to copy all the extra metadata stuff as well as
images... but you're probably right, and it probably appears under the
filesystem somewhere which might do the job.
I've just been playing around and had a lot of luck with trying the
suggestion of taking two seperate images then combining them in software
- the monitor taken on automatic and the screen done on manual (0.4
secs / f8.0, along with re-evaluating the white balance). Problem
solved, I think :)
cheers to all
