Hello

Is there any hope of adding support for Pentax K-50?

I own the camera.

Can I somehow help with this? I'm C# developper.

Regards

    Hello,

    I'm really ready to test it.

    My favorite operating system is Windows (8) but I can also test with a raspberry pi even if I'm not confident with raspbian.

    Regards

    Hi,

    I'm agree with you, it's look like good.

    I can tacke a picture but I can't adjust settings or focus and I can't see the "liveview".

    I have mounted the classic Pentax 18-55 lens. The screen of the DSLR blinks when I run the program.

    I run the command
    pktriggercord-cli --status_hex --debug
    and the result is here :

      Hi,

      The missing liveview is not a Pentax K-50 problem. The protocol does not
      support liveview. :(

      The blinking LCD has already been reported, but my K-x has no blinking LCD,
      so I cannot fix this bug. Hopefully someone else will fix this.

      The output you sent me is the output of the first test version. Maybe
      Dropbox was not updating the file? Here is the link to the second version:
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/e849cz69fdwcrtc/pktriggercord-0.82.01b-win.zip?dl=0
      Version number should be 0.82.01b (the 'b' is the important).

      Please turn the zoom to 18mm before executing the command. I'll search for
      the number 18 in the output.

        Hi,
        This the last result for the command pktriggercord-cli --status_hex --debug
        http://pastebin.com/mAcBxKAL
        I'm able to :
        take picture
        change aperture
        I'm not able to (I can on the UI but the DSLR is not updated) :
        change ISO
        change shutter
        probably more
        Regards

          Hi,

          I was able to recognize the lens (also had to update the lens database
          because your lens is quite new) and the focal length.

          I cannot find the shutter speed information in the file. Could you please
          change to manual mode and set the shutter speed to 1/1000 and 1/2000 and
          show me the two files. Hopefully I'll find the difference.

          About changing fields: Let's test it using the command line. What if you
          try the following:

          pktriggercord-cli --shutter_speed=1/500 --status_hex --debug

          Does it change the shutter speed on the camera?

          Here is the new test version:

            Hi Andras. I also have a K50 and this is the only software I have found so far that is promising. Is developement ongoing?
