gphoto2 --trigger-capture

This returns:

ERROR: Could not trigger capture.
*** Error (-6: 'Unsupported operation') ***

That is correct. As the message says: the SX 510 does not support generic capture.

If you want a camera to do the capture, choose a camera that supports it. Look at http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php for a camera with Image Capture.
