Thanks Karl,
I was able to get the camera to connect successfully once i installed the SDK, however i was not able to take any pictures successfully. I tried 1 second and 31 second images in bulb mode each time the shutter opened and closed immediately, and finished exposure prior to the end of the 31 second limit. When i tried in manual mode the shutter would fire but then would not close and failed to download. I tried a 3rd attempt in Bulb mode at 60 seconds and noticed that the countdown timer did not go above 30. Its like it does not recognize that the camera is in bulb mode.
