Make the live-view work with Sony DSLR about pibooth HOT 7 CLOSED

I updated a bit the issue title, I'll try to work on the behavior of the pibooth with a Sony DSLR, it may lead to disabling the live-view but it is not the only solution.

Setting parameters which are not supported don't raise exception (ba37ca2)

Think that preview using gphoto2 is relly painful, the camera shall be initialized 2 times: ones before starting liveview+omxplayer, ones before capturing a new picture. Each initialization takes at least 3 seconds (imposed by gphoto2). That means for each capture, there is at least an incompressible lag of 6s.

Thus I think, liveview should not be used in pibooth in case of only a DSLR camera is connected.
