------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-05-09 15:27 ------- Here is the list of digital cameras currently supported by GPhoto2: http://n-dimensional.de/projects/digicam/software/snapshots/2003-09-04/SUPPORTED-CAMERAS Your camera is not listed there. One possibility is that your camera does not need GPhoto2 as it is a USB mass storage device and therefore behaves as an external USB disk. You have probably accessed the camera that way when you viewed the pictures with KDE in /mnt/camera You can also use flphoto with a USB-storage camera as it allows you also to images from your hard disk into an album ("Album"/"Import"/"Directory"). Another problem can be the hidden mode switch with some Olympus models have. It allows to switch between USB-Storage and Olympus' own protocol, where the latter gives you remote control features with GPhoto2 and the former gives access to the photo on nearly every computer without needing special drivers. Here is how to use the switch: $ gphoto2 --manual Some notes about Olympus cameras: (1) Camera Configuration: A value of 0 will take the default one (auto). (2) Olympus C-3040Z (and possibly also the C-2040Z and others) have a USB PC Control mode. In order to use this mode, the camera must be switched into 'USB PC control mode'. To get to the menu for switching modes, turn on the camera, open the memory card access door and then press and hold both of the menu and LCD buttons until the camera control menu appears. Set it to ON. (3) If you switch the 'LCD mode' to 'Monitor' or 'Normal', don't forget to switch it back to 'Off' before disconnectig. Otherwise you cannot use the camera's buttons. If you end up with this state, you should reconnect the camera to the PC and switch LCD to 'Off'. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Plug in usb camera window displays GTKam icon Open GTKam Select menu to add camera Detect camera with usb connection.
