Can you see the camera memory as an external disk in your file manager? (I suppose you're using Dolphin in KDE or Nautilus in Gnome)

If you can't, maybe you should switch your camera connection mode from "PTP" to "USB Mass Storage". Usually it makes easier to connect to the camera. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this setting, but you should find hot to do it in your camera manual.

When I'm importing photos from a camera I first have to unmount it in
Nautilus before I can use it in Digikam. HTH

I have the same problem with my 7D and no luck so far. I remove the card
and use the card reader to get the images downlöoaded, because I found
no other way.

David,

This would be expected behaviour wouldn't it?

In Windows and also Linux I think, you need to decide whether you intend to
have your system see a camera as a camera or a USB device. If you choose the
latter when you attach your camera it turns on nautilus/explorer, where as if
you choose the former then DigiKam or any other program used to manage you
photo is told that the camera is attached and the main GUI is started.

If you look under camera configuration in the DigiKam Preferences it has a
series of options for 'mounting cameras' or having 'cameras seen as cameras',
once set however - depending on the system - I believe this stays as a system
preference.

So you probably had the system log the camera as a USB device (due to
historical preferences?), consequently making it 'invisible' to DigiKam. Over-
riding the system behaviour allows DigiKam to see the camera, interact with it
and eventually set system preferences.

Wow, this works for me, too.  My Canon PowerShot710 now shows up in
DG1.0.0-beta5, running Ubuntu 9.0.  Thought I would have to update.  Thanks.

many cameras/ cellular phones have two connection modes: camera/phone
or mass storage and these modes are un-compatibles. When one umoint
the mas storage mode, it allows the use of the other one.

What is new (and good) is that often the camera mode needs proprietary
driver. If it don't, cheers!!
