Description Bernie 2012-11-22 04:40:52 UTC

When importing photos, my camera is correctly identified automatically as Canon PowerShot A470, but no connection is created to download photos. There is no option to select A470 in the drop-down list, but if I manually select the A740 option from the list the import process runs smoothly from the camera.

This seems to be a typo error in the listing of the PowerShot range. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect Canon PowerShot A470 camera to usb port
2. Allow digikam to identify connected camera - correct ID but doesn't allow download 
3. Manually select A740 option - proceed with download

Sound like you use Gphoto2 driver with Canon. Which verion you use ?

Try also to run digiKam from a console and look debug messages printed...

Camera import options

These are the two options I have to access photos - the first A470 (correct) is auto-select, and the second A740 is manual select

Console start of digiKam

Then I selected the A740 option which gave no message in console but gave access to the photos in the camera.

Turning off the camera and clicking 'Import' shows only the manual A740 option. Restarting the camera again auto-detects it as A470 which returns me to the error log in console.

The Canon website does not list a model A740, nor is it listed on Wikipedia and other sites. Seems like a case of dyslexia? Should be A470.

The A470 is missing from the list of Canon cameras and the non-existing A740 has been inserted instead.

Comment 6 Teemu Rytilahti 2013-04-01 11:56:12 UTC

Yup, 

In camlibs/ptp2/library.c: {"Canon:PowerShot A740",                0x04a9, 0x317a, PTP_CAP|PTPBUG_DELETE_SENDS_EVENT},

And in usb ids: 317a  PC1267 [Powershot A470] .

So this is a bug in gphoto2 most likely. Informed gphoto2 devs about it too.

Comment 7 Marcus Meissner 2013-04-01 12:00:08 UTC

applied the typo fix to libgphoto2 svn trunk (for 2.5.2)

Comment 8 Teemu Rytilahti 2013-04-01 12:09:40 UTC

Yup, thanks. Url: http://sourceforge.net/p/gphoto/code/14300/ . I think this bug can be closed now.

Comment 9 Bernie 2013-04-02 12:29:07 UTC

Thank you guys.. My distro - PCLinuxOS - is on 3.1.0 now, so I will await the next update to correct things my end.
