hi!


Well, seems like problems with the software, that thinks it is still a
RS232 serial...

otherwise, have a look at:
/usr/ports/graphics/gphoto2

BTW, since 4.3-R is a bit old, there might also be a slight possibility,
that in case gphoto has problems, whether your camera is not supported
by gphoto, or you should upgrade to 4.9, since there were some works in
the usb stack between 4.3 und now...
