    Solution

    Print your shots by connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer with a USB cable (sold separately; camera end: Micro-B).

    Checking your Printer Model
    The Logos below indiate that the printer is PictBridge-compatible.
    These logos mean that you can connect your camera and printer, and print directly from the camera. Check the printer body, packaging or user manual.


    NOTE
    • The PictBridge logo may also be found on the printer unit.
