| Dec. 25th, 2009 @ 10:17 am Fetching pictures from digitial cameras - gphoto2 |
|---|
I needed to download some pictures that my Mom took on her digital camera today. She has a Canon Power Shot SD 780.
Did some quick googling to learn that Debian has a command-line program that can be used, and apparently supports a very large range of digital cameras: gphoto2
***
Connected my mom's camera via usb cable to my workstation.
Next did:
sudo aptitude install gphoto2
Then created a directory on my filesystem
robert@pip:~/cameraPictures/mom mkdir _2009-12-25
Then cd'd to the directory. In the directory, ran this command:
gphoto2 -P
This command downloads _all_ the photos from the camera to the directory where you executed the command.

Just wanted to share this quick way to get photos, in case you were like me :)

Happy Holidays Everyone! |
