PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)
•
Picture data is transferred from the camera to a computer via the USB port using PTP (Picture Transfer
Protocol).
•
PTP is an open standards protocol for transferring pictures from digital cameras to computers using the USB
port
•
PTP protocol allows the camera to be seen by the computer as a mass storage device. When connected to
a computer, the computer will see the picture files in the camera as data files.
•
PTP allows only picture objects to be seen and transferred between the camera and the computer. When the
memory stick is installed in the camera, non picture files that are stored on the memory stick will not be seen
by the computer.
•
PTP works only with Windows XP. It is not supported by any earlier operating system.
