Jack, it seems that shutter is the only feature that uses absolute on 
our the Sony XCD models.  I looked atthe coriander source, and it NEVER 
uses the 'absolute' calls, it relys purely on the non-absolute calls.
Can we simply change the code to not use absolute settings for now?  If 
a camera works in Coriander, then we'd like it to work in camera1394 as 
well, which means, not using float values, but uints.
