Since 0.8.x serie "USB Mass Storage" have been renamed to amore generic name : 
"Mounted Camera". Take a look into handbook (:=))) :

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-kapp-setup.html#setupdialog

==> at "Camera Settings" section...

Sure, in setup dialog, Gphoto and UMS camera must be separate in the future. 
There is a file in B.K.O about this point...
