i meant its main function is taking photos. an added feature is it takes
movies, i wouldn't consider it a serious camera. show us what you are
getting in dmesg when you plug in the camera. and i think it is very stupid
that someone would make it so you could only transfer photos with usb. if
it shows up as a hard drive you should have to do more or less exactly what
garry said. if you can get a usb thumbdrive to mount on your computer, you
should be able to mount your camera in the same way.
