colour in the image. You can increase or 
decrease the amount of colour in an 
image to improve a washed out or weak 
picture.

Printing photos 
directly from a 
PictBridge camera
14
 
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 118.)
PictBridge requirements14
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 camera14
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 117 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 
menu selections, these settings are also 
used.
„ The names and availability of each setting 
depends on the specification of your 
camera.
Please refer to the documentation supplied

Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo 
Film Co. Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial 
Co. Ltd. and Sony Corporation) created this 
standard to 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
A 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
