Printing photos 
directly from a 
PictBridge camera
13
 
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 129.)
PictBridge requirements13
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 camera13
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.

make it easier to print images from a digital 
camera.
If your digital camera supports DPOF 
printing, you will be able to choose on the 
digital camera display the images and 
number of copies you want to print.
Note
An Invalid DPOF File error can occur if the 
print order that was created on the camera 
has been corrupted. Delete and recreate 
the print order using your camera to 
correct this problem. For instructions on 
how to delete or recreate the print order, 
refer to your camera manufacturers 
support website or accompanying 
documentation.
