2 Direct printing

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 without the use of a

computer. With the camera connected to the printer, use the camera’s

monitor to select the pictures you want to print, and the number of prints you

want to make. It is also possible to print out pictures using the print

reservation data. “Print settings” (P.111)

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

instruction manual.

printers of different makers and printing out pictures directly.

settings. Selecting STANDARD on the settings screens ( P.10 to

manual for your printer for its standard settings or inquire with the printer

manufacturers.
