Why not set capturemode=on during camera_init for Canon?

[axxel]

I am working on a patch that adds the EOS properties to the list in the --summary output. For it to make sense, the camera_prepare_capture command has to run beforehand. That is done automatically in a bunch of different places, like in _get_config, _set_config, camera_wait_for_event or camera_trigger_canon_eos_capture. It is also done in camera_init for the PTP_VENDOR_FUJI case.

• Why not do it for Canons there as well, instead of all over the place individually?
• Is there a use case that requires capturemode to be off?

AFAIK is that it changes the mode the camera is connected with . e.g. display off, perhaps also no autopoweroff (power drain).
