I am using premium version 3.2.3 with a Canon 1000D. When I try to lock the mirror I get this error. I have read in this forum that mirror vibrations are usually not a problem, but I am following a prescribed bracketing method for the upcoming total eclipse in April 2024, and they specify no vibrations at all. If I can, I would like to lock up the mirror. This is the error showing in the log. I have the mirror lock function checked in settings/advanced, and have tried different settings for the mirrorlock in the capture plan, with the same results.
Your camera requires a configured serial cable for BULB or Mirror Lock.
12:32:17 Imaging session cancelled
12:32:17 Unable to set MirrorLock, current setting is assumed!
Thanks for any help, and thanks for such a great program!

The error is self-explanatory, you need a serial cable to achieve mirror lock on the 1000D. The USB cable alone is not sufficient as the 1000D does not allow for mirror lock over USB. This said,
