Printing Photographs

JPEG photographs can be printed by any of the following methods:

•Connect the camera to a printer and print photographs directly from the camera (see below).

•Insert the camera memory card in a printer equipped with a card slot (see the printer manual for details). If the printer supports DPOF (pg. 274), photographs can be selected for printing using Print set (DPOF) (pg. 157).

•Take the camera memory card to a developer or digital printer center. If the center supports DPOF (pg. 274), photographs can be selected for printing using Print set (DPOF) (pg. 157).

•Transfer pictures (pg. 148) and print them from a computer using ViewNX (supplied; pg. 148) or Capture NX 2 (available separately; pg. 240).

NEF (RAW) photographs can only be printed using ViewNX or Capture NX 2 as described above or by printing JPEG copies created using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the retouch menu (pg. 220).
