Have you read the gphoto2 manual (http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/),
especially section 4: "Setting up your system for use with libgphoto2
and gphoto2"? (http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions.html)
That section should provide the information you need to get your camera
set up.
Also, I find that gtkam works better when I connect and switch on my
camera before I start gtkam. (I have a Powershot A80.)
Good luck,
Laura
