In theory it's a storage device, so you should be able to. OTOH, I'd rather play safe and let the camera do it. Mr Geek, have you been able to mount it as a storage device? I haven't on my A80. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org

Hi there, Have you tried gphoto or gphoto2? It's quite powerful. I'm kinda success to handle two cameras, one is SONY something and another is KODAK something. Both are not listed models but gphoto2 could handle it as a generic type. HTH. Bests, Q.H.
