libgphoto2(3) is a cross-platform digital camera library, and gphoto2(1) is a command-line client for it.
Where an option takes a range of files, thumbnails, or other data, they are numbered beginning at 1. A range is a comma-separated list of numbers or spans (``first-last''). Ranges are XOR (exclusive or), so that ``1-5,3,7'' is equivalent to ``1,2,4,5,7''.
--debug
Turn on debugging.
-q, --quiet
Quiet output (default=verbose).
-v, --version
Display version and exit.
-h, --help
Display a short usage message.
--list-cameras
List supported camera models.
--list-ports
List supported port devices.
--stdout
Send file to stdout.
--stdout-size
Print filesize before data.
--auto-detect
List auto-detected cameras.
--portPATH
Specify port device. The--list-ports prints a list of valid, usable ports.
--speedSPEED
Specify serial transfer speed.
--cameraMODEL
Specify camera model. The--list-cameras option prints a list of all explicitly supported cameras.
Most model names contain spaces: remember to enclose the name in quotes so that the shell knows it is one parameter. For example: --camera "Kodak DC240".
Note that if you specify--camera, you must also specify--port. Otherwise the--camera option will be silently ignored.
--filenameFILENAME
Specify the filename to use when saving downloaded files. The --filename option accepts %a, %A, %b, %B, %d, %H, %k, %I, %l, %j, %m, %M, %S, %y, %%, (see date(1)) and, in addition, %n for the number, %C for the filename suffix, and %f for the filename without suffix.
--usbidUSBIDS
(Expert only) Override USB IDs.USBIDS must be of the form DetectedVendorID:DetectedProductID=TreatAsVendorID:TreatAsProductID to treat any USB device detected as DetectedVendorID:DetectedProductID as TreatAsVendorID:TreatAsProductID instead. All the VendorIDs and ProductIDs should be hexadecimal numbers beginning in C notation, i.e. beginning with '0x'.
Example: --usbid 0x4a9:0x306b=0x4a9:0x306c
