Connections—Connecting to a PictBridge Printer

When the camera is connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer via the supplied UC-E4 USB cable, selected JPEG images can be printed directly from the camera. Before connecting the printer, conﬁrm that it supports PictBridge. If possible, connect the camera to an EH-6 AC adapter (available separately) to reduce the drain on the battery.

1 Set the USB option in the setup menu (

216)to PTP (photographs can not be printed at the default setting of Mass Storage).

2 Turn the printer on.

3 Turn the camera off.

4 Connect the UC-E4 USB cable as shown. Connect the camera directly to the printer; do not connect the cable via a USB hub.
