As su/root run "tail -f /var/log/messages" in a console. Then plug in your camera and you should see what adress it gets appointed in /etc/fstab i.e. sda1 or sdb1 or whatever. It should "automagically" get mounted including an entry in /mnt/ .... something along the lines of:/mnt/removable or /mnt/camera. -- Good luck, HarM
