   I assume you are referring to LINUX instead of the X window system.
I have no idea what the distro has to do with anything. (all Slack.)

   try:
    mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mount point

   If you have mounted SCSI drives try:
   mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 or sdc1 /mount point

   and umount /mount point

   works for me. Cameras all appear to be storage devices for me.

   Remember the kernel must allow adding modules: (in /etc/rc.d)

   (Your) USB Host Controller and usb-storage
