Re: digital camera question



Looks like a permission problem. 
Install gphoto2
   apt-get install gphoto2
then try as root 
   gphoto2 --autodetect -L
If you get a list of pictures in the cam, try the same as a normal user.
If it works as root and not as a normal user, read the README.Debian
file.
