Probably the easiest thing to do is mount /dev/sdb1 using "vfat" as the
file system type.

Maybe make a directory called /camera or /mnt/camera

Then use "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /camera".

Then copy the files as you want.

Maybe add that mount info to your /etc/fstab (adding "noauto" option so it
doesn't attempt to mount at boot time) also.

Do a google search on this too -- there are many webpages that clearly
explain doing this.

Have fun!
