I got this todat testing a friend's cam - it generally means that the camera is not usb-mass-storage compliant and hence needs proprietry software. Dylan

Did you try to mount it as a usb-mass-storage-device? (I think the cam is usb?) Just plug the activated camera in the usb-connector when the system is running with usb-support active. Then look if 'dmesg' tells you something about a new mass storage device (e.g. /dev/sdc1) or something like that . Then just mount it, with 'mount /dev/xxx /mnt' where xxx is the dev showed by the dmesg-command. If that works for your camera (I don't tried your one) the files should be available under /mnt.

Bye.

I had the same problem but could not get an answere from the list.
