-I found some good info about digital cameras at http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html - zcat(1)
-----
-
-Here is how I got my brand new Samsung Digimax V4 digital camera working in Linux.
-
-By 'working' I mean, the files on the Secure Digital card are readable while the camera is connected to my PC via USB.
-
-First of all, I am using Linux 2.4.21 on Gentoo (2003-07-18), with an Asus A7V8X motherboard (hence KT400 chipset).
-
-I have a CD burner so I already have the SCSI emulation compiled into my kernel (or as modules). The only extra SCSI module I needed is the SCSI Disk driver (sd_mod.o). I also had Mass Storage support (usb-storage.o) and the USB virtual filesystem support.
-
-After connecting my camera to the USBus, a quick 'dmesg' showed that the camera had been detected. I loaded the usb-storage driver and the SCSI disk driver. I confirmed that it had been picked up as an emulated SCSI device by:
-
- $ cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-/1
- Host scsi1: usb-storage
- Vendor: SAMSUNG
- Product: DIGIMAX V4
- Serial Number: None
- Protocol: 8070i
- Transport: Bulk
- GUID: 083910090000000000000000
- Attached: Yes
-
-Also, /dev/sda1 appeared.
-
-To mount the filesystem on the camera's SD card, I simply:
-
- $ mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbfs
-
-And voila!
-
-I think that was all. The hardest part was working out what drivers I needed.
-
-
-
-And heres some very rough guidelines for extracting your pictures from a Kodak CX4230 under Linux.
-
-You need to load the USB modules (not sure which ones, I have them built in).
-
-Under Debian the best way is to use gphoto2 - apt-get install gphoto2.
-
-You then want to run: gphoto2 --port "usb:" --camera "Kodak CX4230" -P
-
-This will detect the camera plugged into the USB port.
-
-And with any luck you will have you photos downloaded to $PWD.
-
-After you're done, you can erase the pictures from the camera with gphoto2 --port "usb:" --camera "Kodak CX4230" -D
-
-
-----
-
-If you have a camera not supported by gphoto, you can probably still mount it as a USB drive.
-Under a stock RedHat just plug it in check what it got detected as;
-
- #dmesg
- ~~~
- USB Mass Storage device found at 4
- SCSI device sda: 14528 512-byte hdwr sectors (7 MB)
- sda: Write Protect is off
- sda: sda1
-
- #cdrecord --scanbus
- ~~~
- ,,0 ) 'CONCORD ' 'DIGITAL CAMERA ' '1.00' Removable Disk
- ~~~
-
-then mount it;
- #mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbfs
-
-Your piccies will appear somewhere under this directory and you can copy, move, delete them like any other filesystem.
-
- /mnt/usbfs/dcim/100duopl:
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 189064 Jan 2 2000 img00001.jpg
-
-The same steps should work for any other Linux distro, although you might need to manually load modules for USB and USB filesystem support.
-
-The procedure was almost identical under FreeBSD, but I've forgotten exactly what I did. I'll wiki that up some other time
