mount usb camera as a disk

[Gergely Buday]

Hi,

fedora did not automount my camera. So I tried lsusb, which has found
it, but even in verbose mode it did not tell me any data that can be
fed to mount. How can I mount then my camera?

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04b0:031d Nikon Corp.

was the relevant line in lsusb output.

Short note: I used the camera on a Mac without any problem.

Thanks for all for the tips, I will try them over the week-end.

Some cameras act (and are mountable) as disk only in particular
circumstances, as e.g.

1) cameras mode is switched to video (or photo?)

and/or

2) camera is powered from it's supply adapter

and/or ..??.. ;)

if you load shotwell app, does it open your camera?

I have a similar camera:

    .[bobg@box9 ~]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
    Model Port
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    [bobg@box9 ~]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
    Model Port
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Nikon Coolpix S3100 (PTP mode) usb:008,002

    [bobg@box9 ~]$ lsusb
    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303
    Serial Port
    Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c408 Logitech, Inc. Marble Mouse (4-button)
    Bus 008 Device 002: ID 04b0:0320 Nikon Corp.
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I use gphoto2 with the following commands as required. From my notes:


    [bobg@box9 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect

    [bobg@box9 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --summary

    [bobg@box9 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --list-files

    [bobg@box9 photosnew]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files

         Loads images into photosnew/


    [bobg@box9 digi-cam]$ gphoto2 --get-all-files --force-overwrite

So it certainly appears that your device reports the same information
as the other output I'd seen.

You can try looking in your camera's instructions to see if there is a
configuration option as Patrick suggested but failing that you will
need to use a PTP-capable import tool to get the pictures of the
camera (or remove the card and use a card reader attached to the PC).

Does this camera "mount" under other distributions?

You might find that the device doesn't support access via USB
mass-storage (or if it does that for some reason it isn't working).

The USB ID looks like a Nikon Coolpix L120 - I found some lsusb output
for that device that seems to suggest that it only implements the
Imaging interface class (so it will use Picture Transfer Protocol via
e.g. gphoto or shotwell rather than fs access via USB mass-storage).

Try the device with one of those programs and if that doesn't work
post the output of lsusb -vs <bus>:<dev>, e.g.:

  $ lsusb
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching
  Hub
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate
  Matching Hub
  Bus 001 Device 022: ID 17ef:480f Lenovo Integrated Webcam [R5U877]
  Bus 001 Device 034: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller
This one:
  Bus 002 Device 045: ID 0781:556c SanDisk Corp.
      ^^^        ^^^

  $ lsusb -vs 002:045 | grep bInt
  Couldn't open device, some information will be missing
        bInterfaceNumber        0
        bInterfaceClass         8 Mass Storage
        bInterfaceSubClass      6 SCSI
        bInterfaceProtocol     80 Bulk (Zip)
          bInterval               0
          bInterval               1

Full output here:

This is for a SanDisk USB flash key (so it definitely does have
mass-storage support ;).

The output I found for the L120 is here:

Many cameras have an option to connect as a disk or as a PTP device (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol). Take a look at
your camera's own settings.

If you just want to download pictures, the photo handling apps (Digikam
etc.) can often access the camera for you without mounting it.
