-				   libgphoto2
-				   ----------
-
-Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of gphoto! This is libgphoto2, the 
-successor of gphoto with lots of new features and additional camera
-drivers. 
-
-If you miss a feature, would like to report success or failure, or have any
-questions, please don't hesitate to contact our mailing list.
-
-
-
-What is libgphoto2?
--------------------
-
-libgphoto2 is a library that can be used by applications to access various 
-digital cameras.  
-
-For more information on gphoto, see
-
-        http://www.gphoto.org/
-
-There, you can also get information on mailing lists, supported cameras,
-and availability of gphoto2. Another source of information is
-
-        http://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto
-
-where you can access our CVS server to fetch the source code of
-gphoto2, gtkam and GnoCam (see below).
-
-
-
-What is libgphoto2 not?
------------------------
-
-libgphoto2 itself is not a GUI application, opposed to gphoto. There are
-GUI frontends for the gphoto2 library, however, such as gtkam for
-example.
-
-libgphoto2 can only talk to cameras the language of those it understands.
-That is, if you own a camera that speaks a language that isn't published
-anywhere and nobody has been able to figure out the meaning of the sentences,
-libgphoto2 cannot communicate with those cameras. 
-
-Then, there are cameras supporting the so-called USB Mass Storage protocol.
-This is a protocol that has been published and lets you access any storage
-device, be it a camera or a disk connected via USB to your computer. As there
-are already drivers for this protocol out there, you don't need an additional
-library like libgphoto2. The list of camera that use USB Mass Storage is getting
-longer everyday, so we won't publish it.
-
-For a more up to date list, you can consult 
-
-	http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html
-
-Your operating system will tell you about that because it is likely to recognise
-the device as a SCSI disk that you can mount (for Linux 'dmesg' will tell you).
-Again, those cameras *cannot* be accessed through libgphoto2. Some of them can
-be switched to use a different communication protocol and might be in that case
-useable with libgphoto2.
-
-Other camera support a protocol called PTP or USB Imaging Devices that has
-been developped by Kodak and other. libgphoto2 does support PTP. 
-Here is a short incomplete list of camera that use this protocol:
-
- * HP PhotoSmart 318, 612, 715
- * Kodak DC-4800, DX-3215, DX-3500, DX-3600, DX-3700, DX-3900, MC3 and all the
-   camera that use Kodak Easy Share(tm) system.
- * Sony DSC-P5, DSC-F707, DSC-P30, DSC-P50, DSC-S75, DSC-S85, MVC-CD300
-   (all need user configuration of the camera)
-
-PTP camera unknown to libgphoto2 can be detected as a generic PTP camera and
-will work as is.
-
-You still may try jPhoto <URL:http://jphoto.sourceforge.net/> for ptp cameras
-alternatively if libgphoto2 fails.
-
-
-
-Platforms
----------
-
-libgphoto2 should compile and run on pretty much all Unix-like platforms.
-Additionally, there is a port for OS/2 available. libgphoto2 has _not_ (yet?) 
-been ported to any operating system from MicroSoft.
-
-
-
-How to set up libgphoto2
-------------------------
-
-For information on how to set up libgphoto2 and its frontends, see 
-The gPhoto2 Manual.
-
-It is available at the following places:
-
- - At the gphoto website: http://www.gphoto.org/
-
- - In the CVS module gphoto2-manual
-
-The gPhoto2 Manual includes information about setting up USB
-hotplugging.
-
-If you run into problems, you may also consult the FAQ (also included
-in The gPhoto2 Manual).
-
-
-
-Frontends
----------
-
-gphoto2 is a command line frontend which is quite powerful, 
-especially in combination with scripts. See The gPhoto2 Manual 
-for a short description. 
-
-For the GUI lovers, there are for example gtkam (GTK based), and
-GnoCam (GNOME). Additionally, there are plugins for other programs
-available like kio_gphoto (KDE - Konqueror).
-
-
-
-Reporting Bugs
---------------
-
-Every piece of software contains errors and flaws. So does
-libgphoto2. When you encounter something that does not work, please do
-the following: 
-
-1. Find out whether this is a known problem.
-
-2. Reproduce the problem with debug output enabled and the language
-   set to English, so that the development team will understand the
-   messages. You can do this by running:
-
-      env LC_ALL=C gtkam
-
-   if you're using the gtkam frontend or running:
-
-      env LC_ALL=C gphoto2 --debug <options>
-
-   using the gphoto2 command line interface.
-
-3. Report the problem on the mailing list with the corresponding debug
-   output if it is small. If it is more than a few kilobytes, please
-   don't post the complete debug output on the list.
