- Overview
- --------
-
- This directory contains Panasonic PV-DC1000 and PV-DC1580 gPhoto
- libraries. In Europe, these models are known as NV-DC1000 and NV-DC1580
- respectively. To avoid confusion we simply write DC1000 and DC1580.
-
- Both libraries are based on dc1000 utility, written by Fredrik Roubert
- and Galen Brooks. Despite similarities in the two protocols there are
- two separate libraries, for DC1000 and DC1580 models respectively.
-
- From the source code of Michael McCormack's Nikon CoolPix 600 library
- for gPhoto1 it follows that DC1580 and Nikon CP 600 use the same
- protocol. As of 28-th July, there are no reports if this Nikon model
- works or not with DC1580 library.
