1. Must capture using --capture-image-and-download command. If using --capture-image command instead, camera must be powered off or unplugged from USB before capturing again.
2. If using --capture-image or --capture-image-and-download, camera must be powered off, or unplugged from USB before capturing again.
3. capture.log reports:
"The port you specified ('ð---ªäÿ') can not be found. Please specify one of the ports found by 'gphoto2 --list-ports' and make sure the spelling is correct (i.e. with prefix 'serial:' or 'usb:').** Error (-105: 'Unknown model') **"
The port characters in the log appear to be random garbage and are different each time.

Tips
If compiling different versions of gphoto2 and libgphoto2 releases, run ldconfig to clear the cache.
