It isn't listed in gPhoto or gPhoto2, so I figured to spend the weekend in the command-line interface editing obscure configuration-files. To my big surprise, when I plugged the USB cable into the PC and opened the KDE file manager, I could just click the yellow star in the left-hand panel and voilá : under *devices* the camera popped up as a new hard drive. Pure magic. Furthermore a new line was added to /etc/fstab : /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user,iocharset=utf8,kudzu,noauto,exec 0 0 (this is one line, actually) Of course it is important to unmount the camera after copying the files, otherwise one cannot download another batch of pictures in the same session.
