Direct Printing Using PictBridge

By connecting the camera to a printer that supports PictBridge using the USB cable (I-USB17) supplied with the camera, you can print images directly from the camera without using a PC. Select the images you want to print and the number of copies on the camera after it has been connected to the printer.

•We recommend the use of the AC adapter kit K-AC8 (optional) while the camera is connected to the printer. The printer may not work properly or the image data may be damaged if the battery runs out of power while the camera is connected to the printer.

•The access lamp blinks slowly while data is being transferred from the camera to the printer.

•Do not disconnect the USB cable during data transfer.

•Depending on the type of printer, not all the settings made on the camera (such as DPOF settings) may be valid.

•[USB Connection] is set to [PC] by default. Do not connect the camera to a printer when [PC] is selected.
