Question about Digital Camera and 10.3


Recommended Posts

I recently bought a digital camera (canon sd100) and it works np with my mac and my pc w/Xp. That been said is there any way to mount the digital camera on the desktop so i can browse it like a disk (kinda like what the ipod does). I believe thats the only way i can import pics directly from my cam to PS 8.0. Otherwise i gotta move it to my HD with iphoto, then go with Photoshop. Is there anyway to mount my digi cam in mac os x 10.3? :unsure:

Well, I can't speak for your specific camera, but I have a Sony DSC-P52, and my Memory Stick mounts each and everytime is connected. Personally i much prefer this to having iPhoto run everytime!

It may actually be a setting on the camera...you have to use one of two formats. On my nikon cp4300 i have PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) and Mass Storage, and only one mounts on the desktop. Try looking through your camera menus for an option like this.

Well I have a camera with an SD card and it mounts every time I connect the camera. In fact, I renamed the cards to Camera1 and Camera2 and the name stays every time it connects. It is very nice. So it either has to be your specific camera or a setting you are missing.

Well seems there's a strange behaviour of different cameras on Mac OS X. I have a Fuji Finepix, it mounts pefectly but i can't rename it, I mean, i rename it but when i disconnect and reconnect it's again 'Untitled' ! :(

Why not simply get a USB adapter for the memory card? Then the memory card will mount as a drive. Usually a little faster than accessing the card through the camera anyway.
