Hi Jeremy, I have no experience with your model, but the Nikon cameras I know (I use DSLRs) are accessed though PTP and not via usb as mass storage. I use Digikam (which uses libgphoto2) to retrieve the images, I know Gphoto2 and a few other programs can do that to. With a file manager it is sometimes possible to access the camera via a special url, like in Gnome Nautilus gphoto2://[usb:id] where [usb:id] is the numeric usb vendor:device id you get from the "lsusb" command output. In KDE the Dolphin file manager one can use the special "camera:/" address to access such cameras. But in your case the most likely issue is the relative old age of the system, the vendor:device id of your camera may not be among those in the known devices list. Hope it gets you on tracks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
