1 This camera uses PTP protocol. As I have found, the protocol is widely used

3 of this protocol as a mounted file system (and some [OT] OS does it).

17 Cameras, especially the ones from Canon speak a specific protocol which
18 transfers files from the camera to your computer. Because of this you can't

20 reader for this purpose, like you do, or to use gphoto which understands the
21 camera specific protocol.
