Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
I have a Nikon D200, which should work - regarding USB connection to
the PC - in the same way as your D700. I also run open SUSE 11.2 and
digikam 1.1.0 on KDE 4.3.5.<br>
<br>
I set the USB mode of my D200 NOT to PTP, but to Mass storage mode M
instead; thus the PC accepts the camera as a disk, similar to an USB
stick. Upon recognition of the camera, KDE offers me two options:
either download files by digikam or open the camera in the file
browser. Choosing the file browser option, the camera is automatically
mounted at /media/NIKON D200 ; and I can access the root directory of
the compact flash card. Copying the firmware files into the root
directory of the flash card should be no problem at this point.<br>
<br>
On my system the camera is mounted as : /dev/sdj1 on /media/NIKON D200
type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=1001,utf8,shortname=lower)<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Robert<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi list,
I'm a happy camper with digikam. It works nicely together with my
Nikon D700. No complaints...well, almost ;)
Very rarely I need to directly access the flashdrive in my camera.
Last time I did that was with openSUSE 11.1. Back then I could mount
the camera as just an ordinary disk.
However these days with openSUSE 11.2 and digikam 1.0.0 on KDE 4.3.5
this is no longer possible. When I plug the camera into my computer it
is detected as "USB Imaging Interface" and all I can do is open it with
digikam. That is just fine most of the time.
However today I wish to do a firmware update of my camera and that
requires me to write the new firmware into the root dir of the flashdrive.
By searching various openSUSE forums I have learned others seem to have
a similar problem. Unfortunately there has been no solution or I have't
been able to find it.
Is this a problem with hal or is it a feature of digikam taking over
complete control of my camera ?
Can anybody shed some light here and enlighten me what happens. Even
more appreciated would be advice how I could copy the firmware into
the root of my flashdrive (and later remove it without formatting it).
And no, I don't own a cardreader (apart from the camera).
Best wishes,
Michael
