Sidux/Useable applications/Digital camera


 * For many people a digital camera is a daily using tool.
 * It's hard to imagine yourself any tour, party or celebration without photos making.


 * This chapter will demonstrate how to copy photos from digital cameras to computer's hard drive.
 * I never found any digital camera drivers for Linux made by camera's makers but it's not a problem at all.
 * Most digital cameras is detected and mounted automatically.

Memory card mounting

 * Most digital cameras is detected by its memory card type, it is mounted as external drive
 * on Desktop itself and opened in Thunar file manager (or any).
 * To be opened like that just check mounting drives settings:
 * Menu-> Removable Drives and Media-> Storage-> Auto-open files on new drives and media should by marked.
