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 man- ual for details). If the printer supports DPOF (
134), photographs can be selected for printing using Print Set (
73).
•Take the camera memory card to a developer or digital printer center. If the center sup- ports DPOF, photographs can be selected for printing using Print Set.
•Transfer pictures (
67) and print them from a computer using PictureProject or Capture NX (available separately; 
123). Note that this is the only method available for printing RAW (NEF) pictures.
Printing Via Direct USB Connection
JPEG photographs can be printed directly from a camera connected to a PictBridge printer
(
134). When taking photographs for printing via direct USB connection in P, S, A, and M modes, choose Ia (sRGB) or IIIa (sRGB) for the Custom > Color mode option in the Opti- mize image menu (
