from a digital camera without PictBridge. See 
Printing photos directly from a digital camera 
(without PictBridge)  on page 44. 
PictBridge requirements6
To avoid errors, remember the following points:
„The machine and the digital camera must 
be connected using a suitable USB cable.
„ The image file extension must be .JPG 
(other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„ PhotoCapture Center™ operations are 
not available when using the PictBridge 
feature.
Setting your digital camera6
Make sure your camera is in PictBridge 
mode. Some of the settings listed below may 
not be available for your PictBridge 
compatible digital camera.
Depending on your camera some of these 
settings may not be available.
1See  DPOF printing  on page 43 for more details.
2If your camera is set to use the Printer Settings 
(Default setting), the machine will print your photo 
using the following settings.
„When your camera does not have any
