I don't think it's mounted in a filesystem namespace (although perhaps
could be with the right incantations). If you navigate into DCIM through
the GUI, though, you'll find your images. You can use menus in the GUI to
open another window into your filesystem, giving you a useful drag/drop
destination for images you want to copy onto your filesystem.
