Printing photos from a camera
Printing photos directly from a PictBridge camera
Your Brother machine supports the PictBridge standard, allowing you to connect to and print photos directly from any PictBridge compatible digital camera.
If your camera is using the USB Mass Storage standard, you can also print photos from a digital camera without PictBridge. See Printing photos directly from a digital camera (without PictBridge) on page 44.
PictBridge requirements
To avoid errors, remember the following points:
The machine and the digital camera must be connected using a suitable USB cable.
The image file extension must be .JPG (other image file extensions like .JPEG,
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).
PhotoCapture Center™ operations are not available when using the PictBridge feature.
