that you did. my chemo brain really messed up on that one. ;-)

it has been a while that i last connected to a camera, so i am fuzzy
on detailed differences. but, as i recall, camera i connected to did
not auto connect, but it did show in media and that is how/where i
pulled photos from.

i do not have nautilus installed, so i can not test it with a cellphone
to see how/where a cellphone would show.

try setting nautilus to 'details' and 'show hidden'.

does camera show under media similar to what i show above?

another thought, open a terminal, enter 'mount' to see just how/where
camera is mounted. if it is mounted as a '/dev/';

  ~]$ mount|sort
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
  /dev/sda1 on /hdd/sda/01 type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096)
  /dev/sda2 on /hdd/sda/02 type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096)
  /dev/sdb1 on /hdd/sdb/01 type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096)
  /dev/sdb3 on /hdd/sdb/03 type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdb5 on /hdd/sdb/05 type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdb6 on /hdd/sdb/06 type ext4 (rw)

  /dev/sdc3 on / type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdc5 on /home type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdc6 on /hdd/sdc/06 type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdc7 on /hdd/sdc/07 type ext4 (rw)
  /dev/sdd1 on /media/37EF-0802 type vfat \
    (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500, \
    gid=500,shortname=mixed, dmask=0077,utf8=1)
  none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw)
  sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs  \
    (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
  ~]$

is it 'vfat'? do you have ability/software installed to view 'vfat'?
such may not have been installed in your current system.

i would venture to say that all cameras and cellphones are 'vfat' so
that they are oos compatible.
