+Q: gphoto2 does not find my camera. What shall I do?
+
+A: First try to run "gphoto2 --list-ports" and look whether the ports 
+   you want to use are listed.
+   Then try to run "gphoto2 --auto-detect" and look whether the camera
+   is detected.
+   If you gphoto2 cannot access the USB device, you have to set up
+   hotplugging correctly. See gphoto2.txt for details.
