ls /dev/ before and after connecting camera let you determine which /dev/ nodes are creared. ls -l /dev/something gives you user and group this device node created under. id [username] gives you in which groups this user enlisted. Add this user to group that have read/write access to node. If unfortunately device node under root:root you'll have to mess with udev rules.
