Description:
|
Initial model of potent third-generation digital zoom camera. Use with Linux systems should be identical for newer Z2 models. These cameras provide 3.2 Mpixel resolution, as much as most people will ever need. The Z1 has a very good 10X optical zoom lens. With a 128 MB memory card the camera will easily hold over 200 medium-high resolution (1280 x 960) pictures. It will also do brief Mpeg movies, with sound. Good power usage; batteries will last for many weeks if system is used intelligently (and it is easy to take along a set of lithium backups or Ni-MH AA's with a charger). All in all, a very good value for the cost (around $400 street, including the 128 MB memory card).
To access camera memory from Linux, connect to USB port and mount as a SCSI disk drive, type vfat. On my own system, the superuser's command is:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd
Once the above command is executed, the system can access the Z1 at its mount point (/mnt/usbhd in the example above), and its stored files can be moved out to permanent storage. The exact command may vary on your system, depending on the possible existence of other Scuzzy devices or different mount point conventions. Autorecognition of the Z1 as a USB device is probably workable with Linux by using appropriate adjustments to the fstab and updfstab.conf files, but at this point I haven't learned enough to try to fiddle with those options.
