What is PictBridge?

PictBridge is an industry standard for direct printing digital photos without
the use of a computer. Until now, many manufacturers had proprietary
technologies for allowing direct printing from a digital camera or camcorder*.
This resulted in limited combinationsofcameras and printers that were
compatible for direct printing.

PictBridge technology allows any PictBridge-compatible
camera to print directly to any PictBridge-compatible printer,
regardless of the printer or camera brand.

* Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital

video camcorder are collectively called a
digital camera or camera.
