Olympus E-M5 Mark II tethering SDK (Java, Windows)

Photography Asked on May 14, 2021

On gPhoto page (http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/), there is Olympus E-M5 Mark 2 as supported camera. So tethering is supported by camera, but under Linux.

Is it possible to take images and live-view from my app in Windows? Is there any SDK for communication with camera for Windows and Java?

Thanks.

One Answer

The E-M5 Mk2 can be controlled from a Windows PC with the Olympus Capture software. Olympus did have an SDK for Four-Thirds DSLRs, but has not been released for their Micro Four-Thirds cameras. If you install USBPcap (I use it with Wireshark) you can capture and reverse-engineer the protocol. I haven't found any other instances of people attempting this.

Alternatively, as the gphoto2 developers have already implemented support, you could take a look at their source code. The actual camera access code is in their library libgphoto2, which can be found here.
