Digital Cameras

Most USB digital cameras will be automatically detected by Ubuntu. Simply plug in and switch on your USB digital camera, Ubuntu will then ask you if you would like to import the photos from your camera. Click on Import, Ubuntu will then show you a preview of your photos. Choose a location to save your photos to, then click on Import, Ubuntu will then save your photos to your hard drive.

If you do not get the auto-import popup with your camera, it might be worth starting gThumb and trying File->Import Photos.... See the section called "gThumb Image Viewer" for more on gThumb.
