Re: Canon IXUS v2 and Linux

[Claas Langbehn <claas@rootdir.de>]

Hello Debian-Friends,


Christophe built some packages to get the Canon Digital IXUS v2 running.
You might want to install the packages (libusb, libgphoto2, gphoto2) from:
ftp://ufies.org/pub/people/christophe/gphoto2-beta/

They work for me.

To get all images off the camera, just do an 
gphoto2 --port usb: --camera "Canon DIGITAL IXUS v2" -P


But the photos are all 1600x1200 (f.ex.) and they are not rotated as
expected. But there is an exiftag for the camera direction, which
may be read out with exiftag. I don't know if there is a nice way
to process the pictures. Maybe I am going to write a small shell script
to do the task. If somebody is interested he might ask me in a couple of
days. If there is also a solution for it, please tell me.


Bye,
Claas
