You can crop the image and print only 
the trimmed portion as if the image was 
recomposed. Do the trimming right 
before printing.  If you set the trimming 
and then set the print settings, you may 
have to set the trimming again.
1 On the print setting screen, select [Trimming].
2 Set the trimming frame size, po sition, and proportion.
 The image area within the trimming frame will be printed. The shape 
of the trimming frame can be changed with [
Paper settings].
Changing the trimming frame size
When you press the < u> or < I > button, the size of the 
trimming frame will change. The smaller the trimming frame, the 
larger the image magnification will be for the printing.
Moving the trimming frame Use < 9> to move the frame over the image vertically or 
horizontally. Move the trimming frame until it shows the desired 
image area or composition.
Rotating the frame
Each time you press the  button, the trimming frame will 
toggle between the vertical and horizontal orientations. This enables 
you to create a vertical-oriented print from a horizontal image.
Adjusting the rotation angle By turning the < 5> dial, you can adjust the angle of the image 
rotation by ±10 degrees in 0.5-degree increments. After rotation, 
< > will change to blue.
3 Press < 0> to exit the trimming.
XThe print setting screen will reappear.

 Depending on the printer, the trimmed image area might not be printed 
as you specified.
  The smaller you make the trimming frame, the grainier the picture will 
look on the print. If the picture will be too grainy, the trimming frame will 
turn red.
  While trimming the image, look at the camera’s LCD monitor. If you look 
at the image on a TV screen, the trimming frame might not be displayed 
accurately.
Handling Printer ErrorsIf you resolve a printer error (no ink, no paper, etc.) and select [ Continue] to 
resume printing but it does not resume, operate the buttons on the printer to 
resume printing. For details, see the printer’s instruction manual.
Error MessagesIf a problem occurs during printing, an error message will appear on the 
camera’s LCD monitor. Press < 0> to stop printing. After resolving the 
problem, resume printing. For details on how to resolve a printing problem, 
refer to the printer’s instruction manual.
Paper error: Check whether the paper is properly loaded in the printer.
Ink error: Check the printer’s ink level, and check the waste ink tank.
Hardware error: Check for any printer problems other than paper and ink problems.
