Hi Bernard,

Have you got gphoto2 and libgphoto2 installed?

Is the camera connected via a usb port?

If the answer to both is 'yes' open a terminal and enter the following 2 commands....


 gphoto2 --auto-detect

This will tell you whether the camera is detected. If so try the next cmd...

 gphoto2 --list-files

This will list the directory structure of the camera memory card and any filenames.

If filenames are shown enter the following to download the 1st image to your current directory....

 gphoto2 -p "1" --filename

If any fail, post the messages. If all 3 cmds succeed alter the "1" to another number to d/l another img or (eg) 1-4 to d/l the 1st 4 imgs

I do not have time at the moment but just after I installed Mepis for him on Monday we opened Digikam and it did see the camera but I did not have time to see it through to a working conclusion. (I also have very little experince with cameras and Linux - I use mine as a USB mass storage device)

Could I get some pointers on how to get Mepis to see my camera and download
the images?
