Documentation enhancement - DSLR configuration

[Crapout]

Hello,

As a complete beginner in photography, i have been struggling to find the best settings for my DSLR and i have faced some errors.
Here's a couple of suggestion to add to the documentation in order to ease newcommers onboarding into the Pybooth adventure.

Useful tips :

• Disable "auto-sleep" or "auto-off" to prevent errors while running pibooth.
• Disable Wifi feature to solve gphoto2 troubles to detect hardware.
• Use DSLR Manual mode

Troubleshooting

Frequent issues using a DSLR (unable to release shutter or unable to autofocus) :

• there is not enough light
• the booth is empty and has a plain background
• guests are too close to the camera
• the lens cap has not been removed
