These days, many cameras and other types of USB storage devices can operate in several USB modes, which unfortunately (I've found) can be called different things on different devices and/or operating systems. Some of these work like USB-attached disks, whereas others do not. You may need to check the mode your device is configured to connect with, and possibly choose another mode. There's usually some option in the settings that controls this. Not all devices support all of the possible modes, so if your device is new, it's possible it doesn't support that mode. -- Derek D.
