To get my camera (JVC GR-DVL510EA) working in F7, I did the
following...

sudo modprobe fw-ohci

Connect the camera.

Change permissions on device file - see below.

Start kino - The camera should be shown and operational now.

I've also changed permission on file "/dev/fwX" (/dev/fw0 on my machine)
to allow non-root access to the firewire device. 
I've edited "/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms" and then I
ran "sudo pam_console_apply" afterwards to achieve this.
