Direct printing (PictBridge)

Using the direct printing function

By connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer with the USB cable, you can print out recorded pictures directly. With the camera connected to the printer, select the pictures you want to print and the number of prints on the camera’s monitor. It is also possible to print out pictures using the print reservation data. g“Print settings (DPOF)” (P. 84)

To find out if your printer is compatible with PictBridge, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

What is PictBridge?… It is the standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different manufacturers and printing out pictures directly.

STANDARD… All printers that support PictBridge have standard print settings. If [STANDARD] is selected on the settings screens (P. 78 to P. 82), images are printed according to these settings. Refer to the printer’s instruction manual for its standard settings or contact the printer manufacturer.
