Thanks for that information Hugo, I don't have that camera, but it may also 
apply to others. It is kind of you to post this even though no one replied to 
your post, probably because they didn't know how to do what you discovered.

I for one appreciate this. It is very [sharing, co-operative] Linux like.
Thank you and all others who have done and do similarly,

Be well and have the best new year,
Charlie
