    Printing Photos
    Printing Photos from the Memory Card
    You can print still images recorded on 
    the memory card by inserting it into the 
    memory card slot of a printer 
    compatible with DPOF* (Digital Print 
    Order Format). You can mark in advance 
    the still images you want to print and set 
    the desired number of copies as a print 
    order ( 61).
    * DPOF is a standard that allows you to 
    specify the still images and information to 
    be printed.
    Direct Print
    The camcorder can be connected to any 
    PictBridge-compatible printer. You can 
    set print orders ( 61) also when using 
    Direct Print. Mark the still images in 
    advance and print them after 
    connecting the camcorder directly to a 
    compatible printer.
