The famous libgphoto2 library packaged as a native OSX framework. One can put it into an application bundle.

Libgphoto2 APIs are somewhat sparsely documented. Probably this blog post will be a nice thing to get started with. Gphoto2 mailing lists are often helpfull.

Gphoto supports lots and lots of funny devices but we build only PTP2 camera driver since it covers the majority of current and antiquated cameras.

1. Add the framework to your project.
2. Include <gphoto2/gphoto2.h>.
3. Link against Gphoto2.framework.
4. Put the framework into your application bundle with a Copy Files build phase.
5. Please adjust your application rpath.
   If the framework was put into Frameworks subfolder inside application bundle the value for Runpath Search Paths build setting would be @loader_path/../Frameworks.
