Hello,

with gphoto2 I intended to get some photos from an Olympus C-3030Z
digital camera. However, I get the following error message:

danilo@beta:~> gphoto2 --port="usb:" --camera="Olympus:C-3030Z" -L

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Bad parameters'): Could not find
USB device (vendor 0x7b4, product 0x100). Make sure this device is
connected to the computer.

Does anybody know what might be wrong here? The camera is connected to
the computer via USB and I use SuSE 8.2 Pro. Below I pasted the debug
output of

danilo@beta:~> gphoto2 --port="usb:" --camera="Olympus:C-3030Z" -L --debug

Thanks for any hint.

Danilo.
