$ gphoto2 --capture-movie
ERROR: Could not capture.

*** Error (-6: 'Unsupported operation') ***

doesn't work. Even put it in movie mode before trying.

$ gphoto2 --auto-detect --list-config
Model                          Port

Canon PowerShot A75 (PTP mode) usb:
/main/settings/owner

/main/settings/model
/main/settings/firmwareversion
/main/settings/time
/main/settings/synctime
/main/settings/capturetarget
/main/settings/capture
/main/capturesettings/focuslock

The A75 can indeed take video, so probably yet another wrong config
setting. Well... this gives me something new to play with this weekend
besides karmic :-)
