Ok, sorry for noob question, but I am confused.

I want to copy files from Camera connected via usb port. I can find device via lsusb 

lsusb | grep Fuji                                                                                                                           
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 04cb:02f0 Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd USB PTP Camera

But it is not visible via lsblk

lsblk

Also, can you please describe list of actions:

  1. Mount
  2. Copy
  3. Unmount?

Thank you in advance

It looks like there is no corresponding block device.
Be sure to enable data storage access over USB on the camera itself.

PTP in this context stands for Picture Transfer Protocol, not to be confused with Precision Time Protocol.

If the camera provides a mass storage option then you can work with images using standard file operations. Some photo apps may have PTP support, but I don’t think PTP is widely used.

For PTP devices you need the gvfs-gphoto2 package. In xfce environment, when you plug in the camara, it will show up on the desktop and you can then click on it to open it.

I assume gnome has something similar.

Off topic, you may want to remove some of the old unused snap packages. Run
snap list --all to see the unused ones.

Ok, thank you. Basically now Nautilus (Files) but not other file managers can see the Camera USB.

gphoto2 --auto-detect

Bu still if I want to

gphoto2 --list-files                                                                                                            
                                                                               
*** Error ***

So i can access photos, but not via terminal yet
