gphoto2 how to handle Out of Focus warning

874 Views Asked by At

Here is how I capture image with my camera

import logging
import gphoto2 as gp
def main():
    def callback(level, domain, string, data=None):
        print('Callback: level =', level, ', domain =', domain, ', string =', string)
        if data:
            print('Callback data:', data)

    logging.basicConfig(
        format='%(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s', level=logging.WARNING)
    callback_obj = gp.check_result(gp.use_python_logging())

    camera = gp.Camera()
    camera.init()
    try:
        camera_file_path = gp.check_result(camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE))
    except gp.GPhoto2Error as ex:
        print("callback: ", ex, ex.code, ex.message, ex.string)
    camera.exit()

if __name__ == "__main__" : exit(main())

If the camera is not able to focus it generates following error

...
WARNING: gphoto2: (ptp_usb_getresp [usb.c:466]) PTP_OC 0x90c8 receiving resp failed: Out of Focus (0xa002)
WARNING: gphoto2: (camera_nikon_capture [library.c:3153]) 'ret' failed: 'Out of Focus' (0xa002)
WARNING: gphoto2: (gp_context_error) Out of Focus
WARNING: gphoto2: (gp_camera_capture [gphoto2-camera.c:1340]) 'camera->functions->capture (camera, type, path, context)' failed: -1
('callback: ', GPhoto2Error('[-1] Unspecified error',), -1, '[-1] Unspecified error', 'Unspecified error')

The exception error code is -1 but how can I capture Out of Focus warning?

UPDATE

Filtered out unnecessary errors from logs

import logging
import gphoto2 as gp
from datetime import datetime
def main():
    def callback(level, domain, string, data=None):
        err_codes = ("(0x2005)", "(0x2019)")
        if not string.decode().endswith(err_codes):
            print("[{0}] {1}: {2}".format(datetime.utcnow(), domain.decode(), string.decode()))
        if data:
            print('Callback data:', data)

    callback_obj = gp.check_result(gp.gp_log_add_func(gp.GP_LOG_ERROR, callback))
    camera = gp.Camera()
    try:
        camera.init()
    except gp.GPhoto2Error as err:
        exit(err.code)

    try:
        camera_file_path = camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE)
    except gp.GPhoto2Error as err:
        exit(err.code)
    camera.exit()

if __name__ == "__main__" : exit(main())

You've defined a callback function, in which you could parse the error string to detect out of focus, but you haven't installed your callback so libgphoto2 isn't using it. Use gp_log_add_func to install your callback.

Also, you're passing the return value of camera.capture to gp.check_result. This is incorrect as camera.capture already checks the result and raises an exception if there's an error.

If you can figure out the name of the logger, you can add your own handler to it and do your own log processing.

Calling "getLogger" with your camera library's name would get you the logger.

Calling AddHandler on that logger with a custom handler would allow you to do your own log processing for logs coming from that logger.

Please see Python's Logging Cookbook for more info

Hope this helps
