Filix,

Your story still sounds familiar.  I found that they has stopped
adding configurations for new cameras.  I spent ages trying to concoct
a characterisation file for my camera, before reading somewhere that
modern cameras often use the same generic interface.  Of course, I
cannot remember what it is called - but it was near the bottom of the
list.  As soon as I chose that it worked.
