These days, many cameras and other types of USB storage devices can
operate in several USB modes, which unfortunately (I've found) can be
called different things on different devices and/or operating systems.
Some of these work like USB-attached disks, whereas others do not.
You may need to check the mode your device is configured to connect
with, and possibly choose another mode.  There's usually some option
in the settings that controls this.  Not all devices support all of
the possible modes, so if your device is new, it's possible it doesn't
support that mode.
