Retry on Focus error? #167

Describe the bug

I'm just setting up a photo booth, using a Canon EOS 450D. I noticed that, during initialization, the camera focuses and takes a picture. If focusing fails, the software reports an error message and allows to retry the operation.

The same is true if focusing fails during taking a picture - it gives the option to retry. Wouldn't it make sense to automatically retry the operation, say, three times and only report the error message if it fails three times in a row?

I've been experimenting with the various gphoto2 backends, the most reliable is, currently, the python-gphoto2 backend.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start Photobooth
  2. Prevent focusing during startup, for instance with the lens cap on
  3. See error message

Expected behavior

See above, retry focusing.
