Option 1:
take the SD-card out of your camara and put it into your PC. A file
manager like Dolphin (Kubuntu) or Nautilus (Ubuntu) will be able to
navigate through it.

Option 2:
try special open source camera software like "Digikam" - which can
automatically recognise your camera, even if it is not being
recognised by your regular file manager.

Respectfully yours,
