you can correct that effect and bring the 
white areas back to pure white.

image, similar to adjusting the fine focus 
on a camera. If the image is not in true 
focus and you cannot see the fine details 
of the picture, then adjust the sharpness.
• Colour Density

colour in the image. You can increase or

Your Brother machine supports the 
PictBridge standard, allowing you to connect 
to and print photos directly from any 
PictBridge compatible digital camera.
If your camera is using the USB Mass 
Storage standard, you can also print photos 
from a digital camera without PictBridge. See 
Printing photos directly from a digital camera 
(without PictBridge) on page 49.
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. The following PictBridge settings may 
be available from the LCD of your PictBridge 
compatible camera.
Depending on your camera some of these 
settings may not be available.
1See  DPOF printing on page 48 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.
