is a library and a command-line frontend to manipulate
|
|
digital still cameras based on Fujitsu chipset and Siarra
|
|
Imaging firmware. The program is known to work with Agfa,
|
|
Epson and Olympus cameras. Should also work with Sanyo, but
|
|
this is untested. The cameras typically come with software
|
|
for Windows and for Mac, and no description of the protocol.
|
|
With this tool, they are manageable from a
|
|
<SPAN

|
|
<lightner_AT_metaflow.com> has added support for
|
|
Win32 and DOS platforms. Note that the program does not
|
|
have any GUI, it is plain command-line even on Windows.
