It appears to be at least talking with the camera now. I replaced the 2 AAA batteries in the camera and now it is being detected by gphoto2 - cool stuff.
But the actual files when I use Gimp to view them are very under exposed. Is there something else in gphoto2 that will increase the brightness in the acquired pictures? I don't think the camera is malfunctioning, but then again it maybe. I haven't used it in a while, not sure. Thanks. Here is the output various gphoto2 outputs.
