A Canon Error occored: INVALID_PARAMETER

Issue #130 resolved
Former user created an issue

Hello,

first of all thank you for this great program. I tested it with my EOS450D. When I want to take a single Frame (Imagin Tab) N.I.N.A throws the following error message:

"A Canon Error occored: INVALID_PARAMETER"

The Liveview is working as it should. With an 1100D everything works flawlessly. I have added the corresponding LOG.

Thank you very much,

Dirk

    Hi Dirk,

    having a quick look at this issue, it looks like this camera model (450D) does not support the Method call N.I.N.A. is using to start the exposure unfortunately.
    I have not found a solution for this yet.

    Regards,
    Stefan
