gtkam and powershot a70



I own a Canon PowerShot A70 digital camera and I am running Debian Testing (official snapshot 01/01/05). I installed the gtkam and gphoto2 packages and the various dependencies. When I connect my digital camera to the computer via USB and switch on the camera with gtkam running, a message is displayed stating the following:

"There are photographs on this device
Would you like to import them into your photo album?"

By clicking "Import" the next dialog box has the type of camera on the left and options for importing the photos on the right. It is at this point the program says that there is no camera detected. How can this be when turning on the camera prompted me if I wanted to import photos from the device? There is the option to specify the device and I selected Canon PowerShot A70 and USB but it says that the device is not connected. Telling the program to re-scan for devices results in no device found. How is it that it found the camera initially and then it doesn't recognize it a all when trying to import or view the photos on the camera?
