Description

Hello,

Seems like there is a glitch in the initializing of the timer that checks that camera and camera_info msgs are synced. The error message displayed to the user states 10 seconds, while the timer is ticked every 1 second.

Research direction

Open image_transport/src/camera_subscriber.cpp at the referenced lines around the timer setup and synchronization warning. Compare the timer interval with the seconds value shown in the user-facing error message. Done means the displayed duration matches the timer's actual tick interval.
