18.0 Using Digital Cameras with Linux
Managing photos from your camera can be fun if you have the
right tools. Linux offers several handy utilities for sorting and
organizing your photographs. These include gphoto2, Konqueror,
Digikam, and f-spot.
A comprehensive list of supported cameras is available at
https://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php. If gphoto2 is installed, retrieve the list with the
command
gphoto2
--list-cameras. Get
information about the available commands with
gphoto2 --help.
HINT: Unsupported Cameras
If you do not find your camera in the list from gphoto, do
not despair. It is very likely that your camera is supported as a
USB mass storage device. Find more information in Section 18.2,
Accessing the Camera.
