"Unused" just means not used by another module - i.e. there is no module above it in the dependency chain. This is normal. With the camera connected and switched on, do a 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' and look for your camera info in the output. Did you mount the "drive"? If you have no other SCSI disk, put the following line in /etc/fstab - /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat ro,noauto,user 0 0 Create the directory /mnt/camera, and then do a 'mount /mnt/camera' Then you can cd to /mnt/camera and ls it.
