This camera is NOT 'plug and play' on RH9 or/and RHEL3.0.

In order to work with a camera you have to do the following:
- configure/switch the camera to the PTP protocol
- connect the camera to PC via USB cable
- start 'digital camera tool' (go fedora=>Graphic=Digital Camera Tool)
- 'gtkam' will start
- click on ' Camera==> Add Camera ==> Detect'
- click on Apply

YOU ARE DONE ... you can control the camera

NOTE:
I could not find a way to mount the camera as a USB Storage Device. I've tried all the tricks of trade (kernel options, manual SCSI scan, GOOGLE). Nothing worked.
