              if (err != EDSDK.EDS_ERR_OK)
                 Debug.WriteLine("Error registering object event handler");

public uint objectEventHandler(uint inEvent, IntPtr inRef, IntPtr inContext)
        {
            switch(inEvent)
            {

                case EDSDK.ObjectEvent_DirItemCreated:

                    this.getCapturedItem(inRef);

                    Debug.WriteLine("dir item created");

                    break;
                case EDSDK.ObjectEvent_DirItemRequestTransfer:
                    this.getCapturedItem(inRef);

        }

anyone could help me , why this event does not call ,

or how i download image from buffer to pc, with out have Sd card on my camera

Answer 1

The SDK (as far as I know) only exposes the picture taking event in the form of the object being created on the file system of the camera (ie the SD card). There is not a way of which I am familiar to capture from buffer. In a way this makes sense, because in an environment where there is only a small amount of onboard memory, it is important to keep the volatile memory clear so that it can continue to take photographs. Once the buffer has been flushed to nonvolatile memory, you are then clear to interact with those bytes. Limiting, I know, but it is what it is.
