Direct Printing

Direct Print Function

The Direct Print standard enables direct printing from a camera to a printer by connecting them via a USB cable. Photos can be printed quickly and easily from your digital camera without using a computer.

Caution

You cannot print movies (AVI files) with this function. For still images with sounds (JPG files with WAV files), only the still images (JPG files) are printed.

Some printers do not support images taken in Text mode (TIFF files) (P.39). Even when TIFF images are printed, their printed contents cannot be guaranteed.

Note

This camera uses PictBridge, an industry standard for Direct Printing.

Your printer must be compatible with PictBridge to use the Direct Print function. For support information, see the documentation that came with the printer.

For some printers, Direct Print may not be available when [MASS STR] is selected for [USB CONNECTION] (P.127) in the SETUP menu of the camera. In such cases, select [ORIGINAL] instead.
