About PictBridge

PictBridge is an industry standard enabling a range of digital photo solutions, including the
direct printing of photos from a digital still cameras or camcoders* without the need to use a
computer.

Until now, many manufactures had proprietary technologies for allowing direct printing from a
digital camera or camcorder. This resulted in limited combinations of cameras and printers
that were compatible for direct printing without a computer. PictBridge Technology, however,
allows any PictBridge-compatible camera to print directly to any PictBridge compatible printer.
Regardless of the printer or camera brand, printing photos without a computer is easily
achieved if the camera and printer are both PictBridge-compatible.

* Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively called a digital camera or camera.
