Is there a repository for camera drivers? I recently purchased a Nikon S6500 camera and it's driver isn't available in the 13.1 distro DVD.
Camera Drivers ???
Are you wanting to access your camera directly to take pictures, transfer files, ???
Are you wanting to process your camera images with ???
What do you expect to accomplish with a "driver"?
Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology. I wish to be able to hook a cable from the camera to a USB port to download images and manage the camera's memory. This would eliminate having to remove the mini-SD card from the camera (hard for old fingers), mount it, manipulate image files, unmount the card, and re-insert it into the camera.
It seems this camera uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to communicate with the computer. You will need to use an application capable of this - darktable has already been mentioned, but (IMO) it's badly laid out, un-intuitive and over-specified. I use digiKam (available as standard to oS 13.1) for downloading and cataloguing photos - it will connect to an MTP camera via the Import menu... HTH Dx
Thanks, Tom
