6-1 What is PictBridge?
Enjoy easy digital printing without a PC. PictBridge was created to make printing digital photos even
easier and more accessible. Pictbridge allows you to connect a digital still camera (*1) (referred to
hereafter as “DSC”) directly to printer without a PC, enabling direct printing on the spot.
Due to the rapid market penetration of DSC, images can now be handled as digital data more easily
then ever before. However, digital image data traditionally required transfer to a PC using application
software for printing: the process was not exactly simple.
Pictbridge is a new standard created for direct printing from DSC to printers, regardless of the make of
either.
*1: Make sure the digital still camera supports PictBridge.
