Tutorial 41: Control a DSLR Camera with your Pi!

I recently had to run an experiment requiring multiple image captures over the course of a day. System control was entirely automated, but manually taking pictures with the camera was incredibly tedious. Instead of doing things by hand, we'll do it the modern way with computer automation!

In this tutorial I show you how you can control a compatible DSLR camera using a Raspberry Pi or any other computer running a Linux operating system. I show you how this can be done in Python 3 using Bash commands. You don't need to know Python to be able to complete this tutorial, but to stay consistent with the rest of my Raspberry Pi content, I use Python.
