I would not use PTP. Too many things can go wrong. Just about all professionals download directly from the SD memory card. Follow the following steps. They are very similar for both Mac and PC.
1) With the power turned off, remove the SD flash memory card from your camera.
2) If your computer has an SD card slot, insert the SD card in the slot. If it does not, there are many USB cable input card readers for under $20. Connect the external card reader to a USB receptacle on your computer. In either case, the computer will use "Plug-n-play" to connect your SD card.
3) Double click either the device or folder on your desktop. The pictures are almost always inside a subfolder. When you open that folder, you will see your photos.
4) Depending on what you want to do with your photos at this point, you may want to move the downloaded pictures to another location or software such as Lightroom or Photoshop.
5) CAUTION! If you want to erase your SD card, DO NOT DO IT VIA THE COMPUTER. Your computer's formatting may not be compatible with your camera's format algorithm. Remove the SD card from the computer or reader and insert it in the camera. Follow the instructions on page 168 of the D5200 manual to reformat the SD card.

RE not being able to USB function on Sony Cyber Shot camera connecting it to TV....solution was to change USB Mode on camera from PTP to AUTO.
Turn on camera, press home button. Click to Main Settings 1 and then use down arrows to go to Main Settings 2. Highlight USB MODE PTP, and use right arrow to change setting to AUTO, and press Home button to exit.

Computer sees camera as storeage device rather than as imaging device. Running Windows XP Home Edition. Camera is Nikon Coolpix 5200. Have downloaded latest Nikon software. Have talked with Nikon...

According to Nikon specifications this camera uses USB only to transfer pictures and videos, not for video streaming or taking pictures (image device), but you could test if it changes opearting mode by setting USB option to PTP in the setup menu (by default is set as Mass storage).

My camera takes pictures great and charges but will not be recognized by my computer. yet all my other cameras have. even the previous one just before this. i'm very frustrated at this point!

Your camera has two USB modes, "Picture Transfer Protocol" and "Mass Storage". These days, Mass Storage is more common, and the problem could easily be that your camera is stuck in PTP mode. Can you go to Setup - Interface - USB mode and change it from PTP to Mass Storage and see if that helps?

Hello... My computer is not detecting my Nikon D60..eventhough I have installed the software, check for updates from the Nikon and obviously checked the connections and made sure my camera is on... but...

I depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If downloading pictures, then camera USB mode must be in Mass Storage. If trying to control camera with Nikon Capture or Control Pro, Then USB mode must be in PTP. Those are changed in the menu system

Coolpix 4300 needs driver & update for vista

this solution was originally written by a fellow expert dauphine



You can download PictureProject software from this address: http://chsv-soft.nikon-image.com/jpn/software/win/S-P2____-175WU-JPNJP.exe

That is the only Nikon software that supports Vista since your camera is "outdated".

Here is a quote from Nikon site:


  • We had released a Windows Vista-compatible version of PictureProject, v1.7.5, for use with the models listed below, and all models that followed. PTP (models supporting the PTP protocol) and Mass storage USB transfer options can be used for camera connection. However, the camera's transfer button can not be used to transfer pictures over a PTP connection. Set the USB transfer option to Mass storage to enable the camera's transfer button.
    Currently, the new Nikon Transfer and View NX will replace Picture Project as our new Image Transfer and Browser applications. These applications support the same Nikon products as Picture Project.

Use a card reader or card slot to transfer images.

Need Nikon Coolpix drivers for Windows Vista

Windoze has issues with "PTP" mode. Go into the menu of the Coolpix, and find the "USB" menu option (you might have to dig), and change it to "Mass Storage". Plug it in, and Viola!

D70 USB setting issue

Users of Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Mac OS 9.x may experience problems trying to download images from the Nikon D70 using Nikon View. Initial shipments of the D70 have the USB option in the "Set up" menu set to PTP - Picture Transfer Protocol. PTP is only compatible for downloading images with Windows XP and Mac OS X. To solve this issue please set the USB menu option to Mass Storage and then connect the camera to the computer. The D70's card will then mount like a removable disk and Nikon View will be able to transfer images
