Nikon D780

[AntonioMCitati]

I was investigating the LiveView issues with NikonD780 (both with BYN, NINA and more)
I did download the Nikon SDK for it, together with the one for other Nikon camera I have and I noticed a drastic difference: in order to set LiveView the parameter passed should be 3 and not 1.
With NINA source codes freely available I could change the value live in the debugger and the LiveView was indeed activated.
I attach hereunder the relevant pages, just in case.
BTW, I really think that the way the NIKON SDK is distributed and written is a pig pain in the ....

My sincere compliments and appreciation for your being CANADIAN!!

I'll try to compile a new RC with this change, and I'm hoping you can test/confirm.

Nice find!
