"""
NOTE that properties are reported by the camera, depending on the camera state! On Canon S3 IS:
For instance, if camera is not in capture mode, then upon --save-cam-conf-json, the properties "imgsettings" and "capturesettings" (which otherwise contain other properties as children) will return error.
If camera is in capture mode, and prop "shootingmode" is "Auto" - then "iso" has "Auto" option, "exposurecompensation" and "flashcompensation" is read-write, "aperture" and "shutterspeed" is read-only
If camera is in capture mode, and prop "shootingmode" is "Manual" - then "iso" loses "Auto" option, "exposurecompensation" and "flashcompensation" become read-only, "aperture" and "shutterspeed" become read-write
NOTE: some properties may take a while to update, see [waiting for variables to update, and wait_for_event causing picture to be taken? · Issue #75 · jim-easterbrook/python-gphoto2 · GitHub](https://github.com/jim-easterbrook/python-gphoto2/issues/75)
Upon loading json files on camera that change some modes, you might get an error, in which case you can try loading the same file again
NOTE: if doing live view on Canon, while capture=0, then still an image is returned - but it is the last captured image (except if immediately after camera startup, when capture=0 is ignored, and live view captures regardless). However, sometimes live view may freeze even with capture=1 - in which case, switching Camera Output from Off to LCD/Video Out and back to Off helps.
NOTE: Switching from viewing full res image capture, to lower resolution live view preview, and vice versa, should automatically fit the view. But if the view gets "lost": in that case, hit Ctrl-F for fit to view once, then can do Ctrl-Z for original scale (or mouse wheel to zoom in/out the preview).
