I tried to moderate the email, but you seem to have canceled it.

This camera is in our "outdated" camera list, so a default libgphoto2 build will no longer build it.

You will need to get libgphoto2 2.5.30 tarball and build yourself, but add "--with-camlibs=standard,outdated"
to configure line

	./configure --with-camlibs=standard,outdated --prefix=/usr .... more argument ...
	make
	sudo make install

Ciao, Marcus
