Having Problem with setZoomTarget, and looking for a method to use in a more complex code

ANAFI USA / ANAFI Thermal / ANAFI 4K

Hello I am currently trying to attempting to use olympe to set the zoom on the camera of the gimbal camera of the drone. I am using a parrot anafi, but my code doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Code:
import olympe
from olympe.messages.camera2.Command import SetZoomTarget
from olympe.messages.camera2.Event import ZoomLevel

DRONE_IP = “192.168.42.1”

drone = olympe.Drone(DRONE_IP)

Connect to the drone

drone.connect()

try:
# Perform zoom operation
set_zoom_command = SetZoomTarget(
camera_id=0,
control_mode=“level”, # You can use “velocity” if you prefer
target=0.5, # Set the zoom level (0.0 to 1.0)
)

zoom_result = drone(set_zoom_command).wait()

if zoom_result.success():
    print("Camera zoom set successfully.")
else:
    print("Failed to set camera zoom.")

except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
finally:
# Disconnect from the drone
drone.disconnect()

The goal is to combine it with a larger code for object detection. Here is the github if anyone is interested:

Hi,

The Camera2 feature is only supported by Anafi AI. For Anafi 4K, Thermal or USA, you should use the Camera feature instead.
