Reminds me of the image transfer selection option  between PTP and USB mass storage on some cameras "Setup"menu. My Nikon D3100 does not have this option as the user is supposed to use the Nikon transfer software that comes on a CD with the camera but is usable only for Windows and Apple computers.


This is a possible cause, I suppose.

But I think that the cause could be different: maybe Gnome/Nautlus auto mounting somehow blocks the KDE/Digikam tools for accessing hardware devices (Solid), and when you unmount the device you remove this block. 
I'm running KDE Plasma Desktop and never experienced this strange behavior. 
Maybe with a little of investigation, we could understand the problem and update the documentation as needed.

Anyway, it's the result that matter! :-)

good luck
