The D70 has two USB connection modes, “mass storage” where the camera pretends to be an external hard drive, and PTP, which is an industry standard camera-computer USB protocol. Using PTP, it does not seem possible to download the camera contents with gphoto2, as I had with my A80, but it does support the –capture-image function, which causes the trigger release to be released!

This means that I can trigger the camera from my computer! And with a simple “while” command, I now have time-lapse capability:

while true; do gphoto2 --capture-image; sleep 60; done
