DIRECT PRINTING

Select “PictBridge”, and press the
SET button.

The PictBridge printing mode is
activated.

The camera switches to the
PictBridge printing mode, and the
PictBridge Screen appears.

CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to the printer while it is connected.

If the power to the printer is turned off while it is connected, the camera
may not operate correctly. If the camera does not operate correctly,
disconnect the USB interface cable, turn off the camera, and then
reconnect the cable.

During PictBridge printing, the camera’s button operation response is
