Re: How to install a USB Digital Camera?
I just bought a usb 6-n-1 card reader for mine and when I put in a card (sd/cf/smart,etc..) and boot knoppix live it makes it plug-and-play and treats the media like a normal hard drive.Makes it easy to move files between the camera and debian just by swaping the card.The reader was about 30bucks.
Not what your looking for by a possiable solution.

Yes this is a good solution. I bought a small little reader and am quite happy with it.
On the other hand try running gtkam and see if it detects your camera. You may want to consult the gtkam website to see if your camera is supported.

I have had much success simply mounting my Toshiba as /dev/sda1.

YES- I mount my Fuji FinePix 1400Zoom by editing the /etc/fstab file:
# This will add support for a USB camera to be mounted as a removable media
/dev/sda1 /mnt/XXXX auto noauto,user,rw 0
Remember to create the directory XXXX (can be any name) under /mnt (You can also make this any directory, anywhere.
Good Luck,

Yes some cameras will work like this because they function as a generic usb hard drive (not mine), but this will certainly not work with all cameras. Perhaps not even the majority. Fortunately for you it appears that your model can be treated as a simple usb hard drive. I discovered this by looking at the links below. Check them out and you should be able to get your camera working. The fist link shows which cameras us the usb mass storage device driver. The second one is more suited to your casio.

For reference the gphoto2 page is also quite helpful.

Thanks for the fast help. Mounting my camera as a removable media works fine.
Thanks a lot.

I tried the change to fstab but I get "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block
device".
What am I doing wring?

Your camera tip
Try /dev/sdb1
instead of /dev/sda1
This assumes that you already assigned a device to /dev/sda1 so we move to the next available: sdb1
Play with it if you have more than two devices like this.
