Here??™s a procedure for using your digital camera as a USB storage device:
1. Use the cable provided with your digital camera to connect your camera to a USB port on
your computer, and turn the camera on so it is ready to send and receive data.
2. Boot your computer.

3. Open the /etc/fstab file as root user and see if an entry was created for your digital
camera. If you have no other SCSI devices on your computer, the camera is probably
detected as a /dev/sda1 device. Here??™s what the entry might look like:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto defaults, user,noauto 0 0
If no such entry appears, create the entry. Create the mount point directory (as root user,
type mkdir /mnt/camera).
4. As root user, type the command to mount the camera: mount /mnt/camera.
5. Open the /mnt/camera directory as you would any other directory from the shell or
from a file manager. Copy, delete, move, and rename files as you would any files on
your hard disk.
6. When you are done, unmount the camera (as root user from a Terminal window):
# umount /mnt/camera
If you unplug your camera without unmounting the file system, it can damage the files
on your camera.
You can follow this procedure to use other USB mass storage devices (CD drives, keychains, and so
on) in Linux.
