Hello,

Please excise me if this is poor form but I'm kind of stuck. I've been following guides to interface a Dslr to a Raspberry pi using gPhoto however the camera doesn't seem to be registered via usb... on LSUSB i get nothing... any ideas?> I'm pretty new to all this

Is your camera in "USB media" mode or "USB MTP/PTP" mode? My Nikon wasn't recognised until I switched it to MTP/PTP mode.

The camera had no USB mode that i can find through the settings. On my mac it auto recognises without any mode selection... I may have missed it but i'm pretty certain there is no specific USB mode on the Canon camera...

Thank you for the response though
