I've tried using gphoto2 2.5.9 to do tethered capture with a A77M2. I'm running the ubuntu xenial packages on ubuntu trusty so it's possible there's something wonky with my install.

The camera gets detected apparently fine:

$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port

USB support                      : yes

Delete all files on camera       : no
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support              : yes

However when I try --capture-image-and-download the camera seems to try and focus and then do nothing. When I do --capture-tethered nothing seems to happen even after I press the camera shutter. I've ran the following command as suggested by the program:

env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=a77m2-logfile.txt --port usb: --capture-tethered

and here's the output: a77m2-logfile.txt

I've now been able to take a photo by changing the camera to manual focus. It seems highly flaky though. It will sometime save the jpg, sometimes the raw (issue #18 probably) and will often get into a state where no more photos can be taken.
