Chapter 11. Working with Digital Cameras
Digital cameras have recently grown in popularity because of
their increasing image quality and easy interaction with desktop
PCs. Digital cameras create high-quality images that you can to others over the Internet or print on a color printer.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports several brands of digital cameras and has
applications that help you access, view, and modify your digital
photographs.
11.1. Nautilus and Digital
Cameras
Nautilus has the built-in ability to work with USB devices.
If your digital camera connects via a USB connection, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
may not require special software or configuration to access
the images stored on your camera.
To use Nautilus to access your camera:
Plug the USB cable into your camera and to your computer.
Turn your camera on and put it in the settings recommended
by your manufacturer for connecting to a computer.
If Nautilus recognizes your camera, a new icon appears on
the Desktop. This icon will be named
Type of memory card
Removable Media.
You can browse through this folder as with any other
directory; double-click on the icon to open the folder.
Your images may exist a few directories down, inside the
initial directory. Recall that Nautilus displays images
as thumbnails, so your pictures are easy to recognize.
To save the images to your computer, copy and paste the
thumbnails to your preferred directory.
When you are finished, right-click on the icon and select
Unmount Volume before disconnecting
your camera.
