I have a Canon EOS80D and use Stellarste.
When I connect, I'm able to change all settings of the EOS 80D.
For my understanding, when I push the button "save" the settings are saved in Ekos.
The Button "load" load and applied all settings
This is also what the log is writing, but when I change aperture in tab "capture settings", click save ... disconnect, change the aperture on the cam, reconnect and load ... nothing happens.
The aperture is still same
so nothing everything is saved. There is a subset of settings that is saved. For other dynamic properties, they are not saved since they are generated by the camera on the fly.
