Okay, after some new troubleshooting based on suggestions here:

Mirror lock is off, no change

Saving and then loading the configuration (force bulb set to off)allows the camera to work in non-bulb mode(camera can start in either bulb mode or with a shutter speed) which means photos of 30s or less. Preview button works. This is actually fine for my setup for now. The camera, as noted by the OP, does not switch to “pc mode” until a photo is taken or i load config but is shown as connected.

Setting force bulb to on and that’s it. I have to completely reset the camera and start stop the indi server to get it to work again even in non bulb mode. This was attempted with camera set to bulb and again with a shutter speed of 1”.

Setting quality to 003, as the OP notes, is uncompressed RAW. This is more of a cosmetic label issue than any real trouble.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I’m running into a similar problem as the OP described. Nikon D200 and latest drivers as of yesterday.

Has there been any resolution to this issue?

I’ll be trying to factory reset my camera, and verify the mirror lock up and try the various bulb/timing combos tonight.
