Hello Many digital camera has 2 data transfer modes. One is the disk like mode (same as DiskOnKey) And I don't remember the name of the second. Dig inside the menus & verify that you are in the correct mode.
When I bought my first digital camera (Nikon coolpix 4200), my dealer recommended me to use a card reader. According to his experience, many cameras become total lost because of the usage of the usb cable Shahar ----- Original Message ----- From: David Suna To: IGLU Mailing list Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:59 PM Subject: Attaching a camera via USB My son got an inexpensive digital camera and I am trying to plug it in to an Ubuntu system to be able to copy off the pictures. When I plug in the camera to the USB a light on the camera flashes but the device is not detected as a storage device. When I run lsusb it sees the device Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0979:0227 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd lsusb -v for that device shows Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0979:0227 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x0979 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd idProduct 0x0227 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 iProduct 2 iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 46 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 (Bus Powered) MaxPower 384mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 4 bInterfaceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bInterfaceSubClass 0 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x01 EP 1 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x03 EP 3 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0008 1x 8 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x84 EP 4 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0008 1x 8 bytes bInterval 0 cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1) I do not know how to move forward on getting this device to work as a storage device. I do not need to use it as a webcam (which theoretically it can do) I just want to be able to copy off the pictures and delete them. I tried searching but wasn't able to narrow down the search enough to be useful. Any help on how to do this or pointers to online resources on how to do this would be appreciated.
