!Notes/Trouble-shooting
* Almost all "recent" cameras use [USB], so make sure you have the correct USB support in your kernel (this seems fairly likely).
-* Also, many "recent" cameras (such as the Kodak DX series) use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), which gphoto2 supports. Some other cameras might require kernel support for their own protocols.
* See HotPlug for information on setting up using [USB] devices with linux.
+* After the camera is setup as a USB device, there are two main ways the picture contents can be read: __USB Mass Storage__, or __PTP__.
+**USB Mass Storage may not be compatibe if your system has Hotplug USB support setup properly, but the Camera is not emulated as a SCSI sevice. See the Mass-Storage Device notes below for details how compatible cameras function under this protocol.
+** Also, many "recent" cameras (such as the Kodak DX series) use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), which [gphoto2|http://www.gphoto.org/] supports. A list of comaptible devices can be found at [http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php|http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php] as of August 8, 2004.
+**Some other cameras might require kernel support for their own protocols, if neither of the above two methods work.

The Kodak DX3900 and DX4900, unlike the other DX cameras, don't allow uploading files from your computer to the camera - you get a write error.
