Description: 4.1 MPixel compact camera with 3x optical zoom, usb interface and built in flash. Uses Olympus type xD media cards. Works in mass storage mode (read, write, erase) as a removable drive or PTP mode (read only) using GPhoto2 and the generic PTP driver. I use DigiKam and GTKam. Beware of KDE bug in Makdrake 10.1 Official that causes Konqueror to crash when a usb mass storage device is mounted. In this case use PTP mode. Ignore what the camera instructions say about connecting in PTP mode.

Mounts as USB mass storage device or PTP using Gphoto2 (use the generic PTP USB option) which makes it more compatible with Linux than Windows! (Can't use in PTP mode under Windows)

Watch out for possible Konqueror crash when you mount it as a mass storage device under KDE 3.2. PTP is more stable.

Webcam mode doesn't work.
