[Digikam-users] canon cameras identified by ubuntu 12.04 and digikam but no access to image-files

[Mick Sulley]

Windows 7 - no idea.

Ubuntu - I run Debian and see a similar message.  If you un-mount the 
camera (go to the file explorer and click the up arrow next to the 
camera) then try again in DigiKam it should work.  It is possible to set 
it up so that you don't need to do this, but I can't remember how off hand.
