Abstract

Interconnectivity of digital camera with other devices is one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras allow more consumer-friendly usage of digital cameras. Moreover, with a suitable application layer software, digital photographs can be sent directly from the camera to a desired target: disk storage, printer, Web site, as an e-mail message or Web print, using a single, purpose-designed, communication protocol: the picture transfer protocol, PTP.
