I had forgotten that Canon has corporate sockets only for windows, there
are no linux drivers on their site. Linux is a swear word in their

the battery, you have to take it out and fit it into a pocket on a wall
wart to charge and it takes quite a few hours, 8 or so to charge if the
camera says its on the last dregs.
I can copy the pix from the card, but even their storage crunching still
leaves them at 2x the size my nikon makes. So I can smunch that down to
5% and still show a great image to the net.
But I can see where image retrieval is going to be a PITA. Or I take it
back, and get something that speaks ptp.
Greetings all;
The camera is a Canon pssx429is(bk)
Otherwise called a PowerShot SX420IS
plugged a match usb cable into it, but while camera cts differently
with usb power applied, there is zilch logged, either in syslog or
dmesg indicating a connection is available.
Canon has only drivers using nfc, or wifi, and only for the last 4
versions of (spit) winders.
newer cameras have multiple usb operation modes (MTP, PTP etc.). Are
you sure you read the documentation around this? Also on my simple
camera I have one port for charging and one for data transfer. The
second is not a different USB cable.
according https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2367467 transfer
is possible. Could be your kernel is too old?
Did you read this
https://www.supportcanon.com/canon-powershot-sx420-is-driver-download/
#PowerShot_SX420_IS_Drivers_Software_Manuals_for_Linux
and make sure you have the drivers? regards
