Sierra mode on the Coolpix 4300 is "tunneled" through the Mass Storage mode.

So switch the camera to mass storage mode.

WHat does "gphoto2 --auto-detect" show? WHat does "gphoto2 --list-ports" show?

The USB or SCSI generic device might still need write permissions of your user,
or you can run as root if this is a small computer.
