[SOLVED] Mounting a Fuji S6500fd/S6000fd camera

Hello, I'm having some trouble to get my camera to work.

dmesg

[ 3806.613332] usb 2-1.1: new high speed USB device number 13 using ehci_hcd

/var/logs/messages.log

Jun 20 16:06:52 localhost kernel: [ 3281.762670] usb 2-1.1: new high speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd

I searched a bit and found a few aging topics in debian/mandriva/ubuntu forums talking about the same issue. Some users report that it works ootb but no real solution is ever mentioned.

Oh, hehe. I thought there was a way to just mount it as a regular mass storage device.
Anyways, libgphoto2 did the trick for me, thank you.

Cameras typically use either Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) or USB Mass Storage (UMS) - yours uses the former.
