Does ONVIF provide an API for image retrieval from a network camera?

I am trying to retrieve images from a network camera. I can do it using MJPEG but somebody told me that I can do it using an ONVIF SDK. Is that true?

Best regards,

In part of video retrieval, ONVIF basically redirects you to RTSP/RTP.
