NOTES

•Depending on the number of images on the memory card (Windows: 1,800 images or more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or more), you may not be able to transfer images to a computer. Try using a card reader.

•Connection to a PictBridge-compatible printer will not work when the memory card contains 1,800 images or more. For best performance, we recommend keeping the number of images on the memory card under 100.

•When printing still images, use the following guidelines as a reference for selecting the print size.
