Printing Photographs

Photographs can be printed by any of the following methods:

•Connect the camera to a printer and print JPEG 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 ( 117), photographs can be selected for printing using Print set (DPOF) ( 61).

•Take the camera memory card to a developer or digital printer center. If the center sup- ports DPOF ( 117), photographs can be selected for printing using Print set (DPOF) ( 61).

•Transfer pictures ( 55) and print them from a computer using PictureProject or Capture NX (available separately; 103). Note that this is the only method available for printing RAW (NEF) pictures.
