Is it normal that when setting the Sony ILCE-5000 in Spd. Priority Cont or Cont. Shooting it takes more than one photo?

Instead of taking one photo and continuing the execution, it takes two really fast, so when I want to get another picture, I get the second photo instead of taking a new shot.

The problem is that, in Single Shooting mode I get 2second delay between images, but in the other modes, I get 2 images with less than 0'5 seconds between them, and then 1 second gap until the next two photos.

Thanks!

can you test current git, as the strategy for sony capture was changed?

Yes, just installed the new version. I'll give you feedback as soon as I can try it (I don't have the camera right now).

edit:
I suppose it's not a libgphoto2 problem, but a problem with my PC or camera, now when calling to gp_camera_get_summary() I get this response:

Device Capabilities:
    File Download, No File Deletion, No File Upload
    No Image Capture, No Open Capture, Sony Capture

It does work now. When I call gp_camera_capture() it just makes one photo. Apart from that, it's much more easy to control the times now.

Thanks for the quick fix.

the summary has "Sony Capture" listed ...are you expecting something different ?

Note that "Speed Priority Cont" mode still has the same issue, even increasing the usleep() time in line 3675.
Times are a little higher now too, ~1s per photo at continuous mode and higher for single shot mode.
