I’m struggling to get it to work in Darktable that uses a gphoto dependency. Maybe you can help/ advise on how to get in configured? It says it should be supported in the newest version.
There is a Forum here where there are some fp L owners:
Meanwhile, ChatGPT said:
"As of my last update, the gphoto2 software primarily supports cameras that use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). Sigma cameras, including the Sigma fp series, have not always been well-supported by gphoto2, as they might not use the standard PTP or Mass Storage Class protocols.
To determine whether your Sigma fp L camera can connect to a computer with gphoto2, I recommend checking the official gphoto2 compatibility list or the gphoto2 website for any updates or announcements regarding Sigma camera support."
Sorry for quoting AI … might irritate some folks …
The original issue has slipped a little under my radar, after all I posted my question over two years ago with no response for a very long time. At that time the dpreview forum for this camera was effectively non-existant. Meanwhile a lot of life has moved on. The original question still stands.
Getting used to it. Reminds me of the good old times when people sent out lmgtfy¹ links or the first result of any web search without any context. It’s not irritating, just useless a lot of times.
ChatGPT is basically a highly eloquent person with no general education at all. It just happens to be extremely good at using search engines and presenting the result as if they invented the stuff themselves. The problem is it has neither the knowledge nor the conscience to even remotely understand what it just said, sometimes even getting basic concepts wrong.
