[digiKam-users] How to interpret DigiKam error message when connecting to camera

[tony Hamilton]

I'm new to Digikam. I'm trying to ingest images into DK under linux Mint 
19.3 from my USB connected Fujifilm X-T20. The camera is correctly 
identified by DK, but an error message says DK cannot connect to the 
camera and asks me to make sure the camera is connected properly and 
switched on. I believe that both of these requirements are met because 
other apps. (XnView, Rapid Photo Downloader, Mint file explorer) can 
read the camera SD card. The error message is misleading, possibly 
wrong. How do I make DigiKam present the real problem it is having, so 
that I can ingest images from the camera?

Under windows, on another computer, DK is unable to detect the camera 
and I don't understand the settings to be entered to manually identify 
the camera to DK. How to I set these parameters?
