Check it's web page to see if your model is supported: http://www.gphoto.org/cameras.html If it is, you may have to add support to your kernel to use it. The devices aren't enabled "out of the box" yet. BSD proceeds from a "minimum install, add extra device support afterward" direction, rather than supporting lots of hardware from a generic install. Cleaner, more efficient, but ocassionally a little busier :) If your camera is supported, use the handbook to learn how to build your own kernel (it's easy, and a rite of passage) and then you'll need to ad at least usb and umass support to the kernel. I'm not too experienced with cameras yet, but that's the general chain of events.
