Direct Printing with PictBridge Direct Printing with PictBridge By connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer with the provided USB cable, you can print images directly from the camera without using a PC. Connect the camera to the printer and use the camera to choose the images you want to print, the number of copies, and whether you want the date to appear on the print. Caution • It is recommended that you use the optional AC adapter kit when printing images directly from the camera. The printer may not work properly or image data may be lost if the camera battery runs out of power while the camera is connected to the printer. • Do not disconnect the USB cable during data transfer. • Depending on the printer model, not all the settings made on the camera (such as date and DPOF settings) may be executed. • Printing an index of images, where multiple images appear on a single sheet, may not be possible unless the printer supports index printing. For 5 index prints, you may need to use a PC. Connecting the Camera to the Printer 1 Select [PictBridge] for the [USB Connection] mode.
