gphoto2 2.4.4 hangs using Canon Powershot SX110 IS

Hi all,


I installed gphoto2 2.4.4 using MacPorts on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Originally, I was using a Canon D30, but using --capture-and-download in
an interval only worked for about 13 images.


So I bought a Powershot SX110, and after running
   gphoto2 --set-config capture=1
   gphoto2 --set-config capturetarget=1

and removing /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/* I was able to shoot
images in an interval. Yay!


I disconnected the camera, switched it to manual mode and set some ISO
and focus settings.


Now the I can't capture anymore. I can list files on the camera, but the
very same command to capture does not work anymore. I have reset the
computer and the camera (removed bothe batteries), deleted ~/.gphoto, to
no avail.


Is there anything else I can do?


Thanks for your help,
Timo

Launch "Activity Monitor" from the Utilities folder. Look for Process  
Name "PTPCamera". If it's running, select it and then click on "Quit  
Process"

Thanks Charles, but PTPCamera is not running. I removed it from
/System/Library/Image Capture/Devices and did a reboot. I double checked
with ps.
