Can you define "for a while" and "a little longer"? Are these 1 hour, 10
minutes, 5 seconds at maybe four frames a second? My STV680 based camera
does the latter - it takes 20 images for the 20 image slots, and then
crashes itself and my usb subsystem, which at present stays down until I
reboot (taking my second printer with it as it is also usb.) If you are
getting vastly more images, it is a different problem.
