The reader is strongly encouraged to read README.905C as well as this file. That file in fact pertains to all of the cameras which are supported by libgphoto2/camlibs/digigr8. All of what it says pertains to the 0x2770:0x9050 cameras, too, unless something to the contrary is stated below. As of 01/20/2008, the only known camera with USB ID string 0x2770:0x9050 is the "Disney pix micro," found at KB Toys. Its functionality is very basic. On the package it says the camera is able to take 20 photos, but in fact the number of photos is variable. For, they are all compressed. Since the compression algorithm is the same as that in the 0x905C cameras, this camera is quite usable, for what it is. Resolution for this camera is fixed at 352x288 and can not be adjusted. In fact, the only thing on the camera which can be controlled at all, aside from snapping photos one at a time, is to delete photos one at a time or to delete all. To delete one photo with the delete button on the camera, press the button. To delete all, hold it down longer. To the best of my ability to determine, the camera has no clip option, no delayed-shooting option, and no multi-frame clips intended for AVI images. However, the camera will do software deletion of all photos using the option gphoto2 -D, while for the other cameras supported in camlibs/digigr8 the gphoto2 -D option does nothing at all and is therefore considered as an unsupported operation for those other cameras. However: WARNING The USB command to delete is the same as the command to shoot a frame (gphoto2 option is --capture-preview). If you shoot a frame with the Disney pix micro, it will delete whatever photos are on the camera !!! WARNING The camera has kernel support as a webcam, at 320x240 resolution. Use of the camera in webcam mode will delete all photos stored on the camera, too !!! WARRANTY? Absolutely not. No warranty. Never.
