Live View Prohibit Error Codes (these are given as HEX values).  The error code you receive from Shutter Stream
needs to be converted into a HEX number first.  This is most easily done using the Windows / Mac Calculator program.
First, select DEC and enter the decimal number you receive from Shutter Stream.  Then click on HEX and the number
will be converted to a HEX number.
