need to do to access my camera?
It looks like you need to write a udev rule that matches the device
and mounts it on a /dev node that is owned by root:video and add
yourself to the video group. If no rule matches a device, the default
is to put it on a node in /dev with the name that the kernel gives it,
permissions 0660 and owned by root:root. To find out how to write a
udev rule read file:///usr/share/doc/udev-$ver/index.html (or
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html). To find out how
to add yourself to the video group read man usermod.
Also, if you go to the gphoto website they have a manual with
instructions to do exactly what you want.
