Digital Camera

[Robert Thompson]

Hello All,
   I also have a digital camera that I love. It is a Sony that uses a USB to connect to the computer. Question is: How does digital cameras work with Debian?

Thanks
Eric

Hi. Generally speaking, pretty good. However, I tend to move away from the
issue of having a digital camera "work" with my computer(s), and use a
card-reader instead. This is a] usually faster, b] saves on battery life of
the camera and c] a cardreader is most likely "plug and play" and will be
recognized by your Linux system very much like a Windows system would.

Other than that, Google is your friend :o)

I have a Sony DSC P8 and it is just a mass storage device.  Add the
proper modules to the kernel (if they're not already there), plug it
in, run

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /camera

Then copy where you want.  I would assume their other cameras also are
mass storage devices, but you know what happens when you assume so I
won't.

I have one, an Olympus FE110 digital camera.

It works a treat. I just mount it as a USB device and copy the files onto the
hard drive, then unplug it. It creates the pictures as .jpg files and the
movies as .mov files. Very civilised of it I think.

I've never used it in windows, though there is a CD that loads a program for
loading onto windows. I prefer to use the Gimp for graphics anyway.

I have made a mount point </mnt/camera> for it in /etc/fstab and I have just
one complaint, or two really, that I have not yet found a way to unmount it,
with different umount commands.

Also have been unable to delete the files off it. But I think that might be a
configuration issue, because just writing this I remember that I set it as a
read only instead of read write permission in fstab. So will have to try that
next time. Now that I have just changed it.

It is great fun......

The only problem with using camera in linux is often there is no way
to access raw images from the camera, only jpeg or tiff.

Uuhh.. not quite. http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ and read all about
how without the fantastic effort of open source even PhotoShop would still be
far behind in the RAW sector.....

I have used the RAW plug-in in GIMP, as well as from command line, and it
works. There are samples online showing the reader the difference between
Canon's RAW utility and dcraw results.

But... we're straying far from a specific DEBIAN topic here, and I don't want
to hijack a Debian forum to elaborate on this topic.

Try typing

        apt-cache show dcraw ufraw

for answers to this.

Well, in the case of my now ageing (like me :) Olympus C3020, that is
not an available choice unless you go into the camera's menu's and
change the saved image format.  So thats not a "linux" problem per sie,
so quit blaming that on linux, its apparently universal.  Be aware
though, that saving as a raw will use up the memory card at an
astounding rate, in my case converting a 64 meg card from an 88 pix
card to a 6 or less pix card.  AIR .tiff will make it a 13 pix card.  
As I can make quite usable cropped and expanded to 8.5x11s from
the .jpg's, I don't often wade thru the menu's to find that option.  
Its also lost when you turn the camera off in my case, so after
experimenting with each format once, I've never done it again.

WRT battery life, I polished up the battery case contacts to remove some
oxidation, and have now been using the same batteries for about 6
months.  It was about 6 pictures before I did that.  YMMV of course,
but if you have a gold colored contact, it may not be gold, but this
oxidation.  Look it over very carefully with a good glass, shiney, its
gold, dull, its oxidation.

I got a Cannon A410.
I gambled on its support, but gphoto2 supports the A400 model.
Won the bet: plug in the USB, issue gphot2 -P and download all the pics.

But that gamble may not work.

Gphoto2 also supports the Panasonic DMCFZ20, but trying the Panasonic
DMCLZ2 did *not* work.

So make sure you have the USB hiddev module loaded.

Plug in the camera and issue gphoto2 -P.

If you get pics it works. If not, you're out of luck.

If neither works (they don't for me) try gphoto2 directly. I find this
works when the frontends don't.

I don't know about Sony cameras in particular, but most low cost
digital cameras have a interface that simulates a vfat file system
like is used on a floppy disk. You can learn how to interface a flash
memory dongle (e.g. Sandisk) and repeat that work for your camera.

Some expensive cameras also have another interface that supports
setting and examining all the option settings in the camera, e.g.
things like reading and adjusting the digital clock that puts
time/date stamps on the photos. If your camera is not new and not
expensive, it probably doesn't have this.

I have a Kodak 4530 that works great with Linux.  The SD card can
be inserted into a flash reader and seen as a vfat filesystem, and
with GNOME 2.10 (and maybe 2.8, don't remember), if you connect it
via the custom USB cable, when you turn the camera on, GNOME will
pop up an app to allow you to preview and import photos.

Of course, Sony always has to be different, though.

It depends on libgphoto2.

Which Camera do you have?

If you do not get it to work, please contact the mailinglist:

        <gphoto-user@...>

They will ask you about some test you should do and send the
output back.  Maybe you get your Canon A410 running very fast.

Like my HP PhotoSmart 215.

The gphoto-team is realy great.
