Digiatl camera - access to whole card

Hi everyone!

I've got Canon A710 IS and I need to download files from it. I can't use gphoto because there are also non graphical files on my SD card. When I plug in the device dmesg shows:

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

And that's all. :-|
But I can't mount anything because there isn't any sd* devices in my /dev/
What can I do? Maybe some udev rules?
lsusb:

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:1504 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 920c
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:3138 Canon, Inc. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I've tried to search forum but its everything many solutions are related to gphoto.
The article on arch wiki about usb devices has disappeard. Where can I find it?
In  addition I may say that under Windows XP my camera is automounted ad hoc and I have access to whole card memory.
So under linux it must be possible to mount it too.

Make sure your camera is in Mass Storage mode and not PTP.

Shot in the dark here, but are you new to Linux?

Re: Digiatl camera - access to whole card

If you have a card reader you might be better off just taking your memory card out and plugging it in to the computer, but I guess you don't .

Use fdisk to check whether any storage devices have been added after the camera got plugged (they will show as /dev/sd* yes).

Also you might want to read up on PTP, so you get the whole picture. PTP is intended for transfer of pictures, no more. As for the rest... I agree with the person above.
