There may be two reasons:

a) The camera does identify as ugen because it has to be interfaced
   like a camera device; use photo2 or gtkam to obtain content.
   This means you cannot actually mount it, but use a program to
   control its actions.

b) The camera can use both modes, as decribed in a) as well as a
   direct access mode; use the camera's setting to switch to the
   USB storage mode. Then you can easily mount it.

No. As long as the camera does identify to the system as a direct
access storage device (da), same procedures apply.
