Update

On learning that a Nautilus upgrade for Ubuntu is unlikely in the forseeable future, today I installed gphoto2, gphotofs and gtkam on one of my Ubuntu 17.10 computers, then re-tested the Fuji camera.

When the camera is connected to a USB port, no notification appears and no PTP camera device appears in the Nautilus side bar.
The output of lsusb displays the camera maker's name "Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd" in the line relating to the camera's USB port.
Gtkam's "Add Camera" dialog can display the camera's make and model when clicking on the "Detect" button, but clicking the "OK" button gives a "Could not initialise camera" dialog.
The "gphoto2 --auto-detect" command generates the camera's make, model and USB port in its output. However the commands "gphoto2 --summary", "gphoto2 --list-files" and "gphoto2 --get-all-files" each return (in part):

"An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error'): No error description available
 *** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***".

As of today, Ubuntu 17.04 and Fedora 27 are still mounting and reading the files on the camera correctly (Nautilus 3.20.4 and 3.26.4 respectively). Note the problem was observed in Fedora 26 but not in Fedora 25
