Sorry to jump in late, but I didn't pay attention to your earlier posts. When someone mentions gphoto, I let it pass. :-)
Same here :)
Here is the general purpose answer for cameras. Not all cameras allow you to access their memory this way, and some don't store the images in standard (jpg) formats. Then you do need gphoto.
I think mine id one of those. Read on.
Have you tried to manually mount the camera? That's what I do. 1. rchotplug start (in case usb isn't running) 2. plug in camera to usb and turn camera on, wait for beep from usb system 3. mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera 4. copy photos from /mnt/camera It dosn't work on all cameras, but does for most of them.
I can try this but I don't think that it will work. My camera uses PTP to communicate with the computer. The messages log indicates that it see it but there is no driver that can use the device. Gphoto sees the camera as a different model. But refuses to communicate with the camera past that. Keeps saying that there are wrong parameters. So I'm not sure. I will try and keep plugging away at it. Maybe with some help, I might get it to work correctly. :)
What does gphoto2 --list-files --debug output ? Ciao, Marcus
