About the Direct Print Function

The Direct Print standard enables direct printing from a camera to a printer, by connecting them via a USB cable. Photos can be printed quickly and easily from your digital camera without using a computer.

You cannot the print movies (.AVI) with the function. For still images with sounds (.JPG and .WAV), only the still images (.JPG) are printed.

• This camera uses PictBridge, an industry standard for Direct Printing.

• Your printer must be PictBridge compliant to use the Direct Print function. For support information, see the documentation that came with the printer.

• Some printers can print text (.TIF) as well as still images (.JPG). For details, see the documentation that came with the printer.
