D40 detected and working in gphoto2 but no camera with tethering support available for use
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
Nikon D40 connected to motherboard USB port but taking photos does not import. selecting tethering displays an error. Clicking the Settings Gear triggers /usr/libexec/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor if the SD card is inserted?
Steps to reproduce
- click other > tethering
- No camera with tethering support available for use...
Expected behavior
Connect to camera, and if not report something useful?
