Can someone explain the difference between MTP(PTP), PC SHOOT AUTO and PC SHOOT FIXED? Thanks.

Answering my own question:

 

1. PC SHOOT AUTO
When a camera is not connected to a PC, images are recorded in an SD card. When the camera is connected to a PC via a USB cable, images are recorded to the PC by using  the optional accessary "Tethered Shooting Software HS-V5".
However, if the USB cable comes off during the transfer of the images, the images which have not been transferred will be lost.

 

2. PC SHOOT FIXED
When the camera is connected to a PC via a USB cable, images are recorded to the PC by using  the optional accessary "Tethered Shooting Software HS-V5".
Once the camera is connected to a PC, images are recorded in the buffer memory (not in a SD card) in the camera. So, in the case the USB cable comes off during the transfer of the images, you can transfer them to the PC later unless you turn off the camera.

 

3. MTP（PTP） : default setting
The setting is for normal shooting.
You need to select this mode when you transfer recorded images to a PC via a USB  cable and print them with PictBridge.
