Besides being patient, what can I do with a somewhat unsupported digital camera? I say "somewhat" because Digikam and Gwenview do display thumbnails correctly. However, the downloaded jpg's are somewhat scrambled -- the image breaks into wide horizontal tinted shifted bands.
I'm wondering whether I can eliminate this banding by changing the gphoto download speed or some other gphoto option -- --speed, --frames, --interval gphoto --auto-detect gives Model Port Mass Storage Camera disk:/media/disk The driver, spca533, is used in a large number of cameras. See: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?w=d&id=98 -- cameras that use spca533 http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdr.php?id=98 -- spca533 overview http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=589063 -- driver summary A number of cameras use spca50x. I tried setting digikam to some of these cameras, hoping that spca50x might be close enough to spca533 to allow digikam to connect, but it didn't work. http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html here's exif for one of the photos in the camera: gphoto2: /dcim/100media> show-exif sunp0002.jpg Downloading 'sunp0002.jpg' from folder '/dcim/100media'...
