Tethered shooting

[Henrik Hemrin]

Hello,

A question for advice and suggestion for tethered shooting. In my 
current case to digitize analog photos with a camera and control the 
camera from the computer.

Preferable I use Linux (Linux Mint standard and Linux Mint Debian 
Edition). I use digiKam AppImage.

I am exploring the Entangle software, which should do the job, but maybe 
better options exist.

I have also tested that it is possible to take a photo from digiKam, my 
camera is supported by gPhoto. However, as far as I can figure out (eg 
digiKam manual and browsing settings), I can only take a photo and 
download it. No camera settings (view nor set), no live view etc. I 
understand gPhoto itself has some command line settings, but I believe 
that is when I have gPhoto installed stand alone and not as part of the 
digiKam AppImage.

Is there anything I can do in digiKam more than "shoot" and download the 
photo?

Any other suggestion than Entangle software?

I really prefer to stick to Linux, but if there is a major reason to 
look into Windows 10, I can consider it.

Thanks,
Henrik Hemrin
