[Hdri] HDRI capture program for Canon EOS cameras under Mac OS X

[Kirk Thibault]

So I got it to run and shoot a sequence of images, but it only keeps  
2 of the JPEGs ( i shot in JPEG mode).

Here is the log file text:

-----
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793328.jpg
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793086.jpg
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793328.jpg
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793086.jpg
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793328.jpg
/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun444793086.jpg
.

It seems as if it keeps writing those two files over each other - is  
this correct?  These are the two files in the folder.  I am shooting  
inside at night, so there may not be a huge range of exposures.   
Could this be the issue?  I break things really well, so I like being  
a beta tester!


Also, it took a while for me to repeatedly launch the app and finally  
establish a connection.  I have the communications settings on my  
Digital Rebel set to normal, not PTP.  My camera is sort of an older  
Digital Rebel - i wonder if this makes any difference.

Here are my Capture Parameters:

1										; verbose output? (0 or 1)
"/Applications/CanonHDRCap/fun"			; base output name
"/Applications/CanonHDRCap/capfiles.txt"	; capture file names log
2										; search f-stop step
1										; f-stops beteween captures
6										; # images to acquire

i'll try a smaller search f-stop.
