Fuse does not work that way. If a userspace backend cannot perform its
function (in this case - a device is disconnected) - it's free to return
all kinds of error even on a simple opendir(3).
Best you can do is to execute:
fusermount -u /home/me/pics/camera

If you need an answer whenever a camera is plugged on or not - why don't
you check for the device itself? I.e. lsusb and friends.
