Chapter 10. Managing Photos
Most USB-compatible cameras will work automatically with Fedora and
require very little configuration. If your digital camera offers a
choice of USB connection types, set the camera's USB setting to
PTP
, or
point-to-point
mode, before continuing with this tutorial. Consult your camera's
user manual to determine if this option is available and how to
choose it. If it is not available, the default settings should be
sufficient.
10.1. Connecting Your Camera
To properly connect the camera to your Fedora system:
-
Make sure your camera is powered off.
-
Connect a USB cable from the camera to your computer.
-
If your camera requires you to select a knob or dial setting
before connecting it to a computer, make that selection now.
-
Power the camera on.
After your camera powers on, an informational window should appear
on your desktop. If you would like to continue to import photos
from the camera, select the
Import Photos
button. If you decide you do not want to import photos, select the
Ignore
button. If you do not want to see this
dialog each time you connect a camera, you can select the
Always perform this action
option in
conjunction with the
Import Photos
or
Ignore
button to make one of the choices
permanent.
