PTP, or Picture Transfer Protocol, is a standardized protocol used for transferring images from digital cameras to other devices such as computers, printers, and storage devices. Developed by the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A), PTP is widely supported by many camera manufacturers and is designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of images and related metadata. Key features of PTP include: 1. Device Communication: PTP allows digital cameras to communicate with computers and other devices without requiring special drivers or software. PTP has been extended and incorporated into other protocols such as Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which provides additional functionality for managing multimedia files beyond just images. |
