Kamera provides a configuration tool and a KIO worker to read and write to camera devices with the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP).
PTP is a protocol developed by the International Imaging Industry Association to allow the transfer of images from digital cameras to computers and other peripheral devices without the need of additional device drivers. PTP on Linux is supported by a number of libraries, such as libgphoto and libptp.
This module allows you to configure support for your digital camera. You need libgphoto 2.5 (or later).
This is free and open source software.
