Hi Jim,

That seems good news to me. We may have it working, I'll try to get
some time for it. To have a more accurate data to work with, you can
try the following:

* create a empty text file and copy/paste the following (substitute
"X:" with the camera drive) :
Dim cp
Set cp = CreateObject("kcamserver.Camera")
cp.ConnectUSB "Coolpix 8800", "X:"
cp.Log(cp.Resolution)
cp.Log(cp.FocalLength)
cp.FocalLength = 63.0
cp.Log(cp.FocalLength)
cp.Shoot
cp.Disconnect
Set cp = Nothing

* name the file something like test.vbs
* set the camera to 'High 2816 x 2112'
* plug the camera to the computer
* when the camera shows as a drive, double-click the file test.vbs:
this will try to connect to the camera, get some information (current
resolution mode and focal length), try to zoom in, then try to shoot.
* look for a file named "log.txt" that should be generated in the same
folder as test.vbs. Please post here the contents of this file.
* check if the camera has changed the focal length and if it actually
shooted.

If the camera shooted, please repeat again but setting a different
resolution, like 'Normal 2816 x 2112', and post also the new log.txt
(the file is recreated each time you run the test.vbs).

With all the information maybe I can add support to krinnicam for this
camera model.

Good luck!
