Re: *** Error *** , Packet was rejected by camera. Please contact <[email protected]>.

Dear Marcus,

     referring to my last mail I finally came back from vacations and 
run the command: "env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug 
--debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --capture-image"

The output is attached. Please note that it is an Olympus C-40Zoom and 
not, as reported by gphoto2, an Olympus C2040-Z. As I wrote already, 
changing the memory card for several other ones did not help and a new 
one is not available since long! It would be great if you found a way of 
getting it to run!

Thanks a lot, best regards, Dieter
