Ubuntu won't detect digital camera

When I plug in my digital camera that has a memory stick in it, the camera is then set to PC mode and nothing happens.

Is there a way I can mount it?

Running lsusb it comes up as: Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0489:d008 Foxconn / Hon Hai

Set the camera to auto and install gphoto2 and gphotofs via software center or terminal.

The camera mode needs to be set to auto and it will select the best mode dependent on the connection. Then install gphoto2 and gphotofs from software center and your camera should work.

or using terminal sudo apt-get install gphoto2 gphotofs.
