No.
This error message comes from CameraUI, signalConnected only has one bool 
parameter. We could add a QString there. Currently the gphoto2 message seems 
to be printed to the console, this could perhaps be used for this.
See CameraController::executeCommand, case gp_open.
See GPCamera::doConnect, last paragraph.
