Give this a try. If I have made any mistakes I am sure some will correct them here. Its late/early, I'm tired and even Ripley on Alien Resurrection is starting to look good...

1: Open console and run "tail -f /var/log/messages"

2: Turn on camera, place in file-transfer/storage device mode if required

3: Plug Camera into usb slot on computer.

4: Watch for output something like....

Nov 1 01:58:51 Laptop kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3
Nov 1 01:58:51 Laptop kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4cb/0x100) is not claimed by any active driver.
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 4cb/100/1000
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: Vendor: Fujifilm Model: FinePix 1400Zoom Rev: 1000
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Nov 1 01:58:55 Laptop kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.

5: If you dont get the usb storage device recognised, then you may not have the module (usb_storage I think) loaded and will need to start there first.

6: If it does show up, then it will be identified as a SCSI decice

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Fujifilm Model: FinePix 1400Zoom Rev: 1000
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02


7: So now..

mkdir /mnt/camera

8: Then using your favorite editor or vi, add the mount to the /etc/fstab file as root

(If you have other scsi devices note the scsix and Channel: xx values. 0 and 00 (sda1), 0 and 01 (sda2), 1 and 00 (sdb1) etc (I think these assignments are correct so if others see this as incorrect please respond)

This is what goes into the fstab file and ensure you leave a blank line at the end of the file

/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat rw,suid,dev,noexec,noauto,user,async 1 2


9: Mount the camera

mount /mnt/camera

10: You should now be able to access your files like any other files system
