Digital Camera (Nikon Coolpix 775)

[Ulixes]

gPhoto does open from the Kmenu and I figure out how to run anything regarding this program from the command line. I have a Nikon Coolpix 775 which is not explicitly supported by gPhoto, but I thought I'd give it a try.

KDE has a digital camera control module, but it won't detect my camera with any of the cameras there (I think the list is the same as gPhoto).

I think I saw somewhere that if the camera has a USB interface it can be mounted directly. If that's true, how do I do that?

I think you need the usbstorage module loaded.

lsmod (to list loaded modules)

modprobe usb-storage (to load if necessary)

The mount is something like

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera

Use dmesg (in a terminal/console) to find out what device your camera is.

The mountpoint camera is up to you. Create the mountpoint if necessary.

mkdir /mnt/camera
or
mkdir /mnt/coolpix

etc.

I actually logged on to get more help because I couldn't figure it out, but in my twilight hour I figured it out and now I can't help but feel powerful. You did all the work by giving directions, but I don't think I'm out of line saying that being able to follow them signals a New Age for my computer. I think I hear the little creatures in there celebrating.

Thanks!
