Comment 1 for bug 933989

Hi Anders,

Thank you for reporting this. I believe what you're experiencing is a problem that results from an interaction between some cameras and gPhoto, a common Linux library Shotwell uses to access digital cameras.

It looks like this bug has been filed and patched in libgphoto2. You can read more about that here:

Please download the latest version of libgphoto2-2.4.12. That should resolve the issue. Otherwise, a common workaround for this problem is to simply insert your SD card directly into the computer.
