No one responded on this query, but, for the sake of posterity, here's

I believe it means "Push-to-Print", permitting you to print photos
directly from the camera to a PTP-capable printer. The camera retains
control of the memory in that mode as opposed to becoming a USB memory
card reader in the "USB" mode.

minor point, but, PTP may also be known as...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol

And I think you're right, that sounds much more likely than my
name, but the concept is identical.

my recollection was a peer to peer definition, also wrong. :-)

Yes, and (being the car racing nerd I am) it can also mean "push to
pass" as used in Indycar racing's time-limited turbo boost button.

Ah, acronyms. Remember when ATM meant "asynchronous transfer mode" as
used in networking and not "automated teller machine" as in "I need
$20 NOW!" Sometimes being a geek sucks.
