CAUTION

Caution when connecting a printer i If the power to the printer is turned off while it is connected, the camera may not operate correctly. If the camera does not operate correctly, disconnect the USB interface cable, turn off the camera, and then reconnect the cable.

i During PictBridge printing, the camera’s button operation response is slower.

i If the camera is powered by the battery pack for printing, make sure that the remaining battery charge is sufficient.

Insert and pull out the cable carefully i When connecting the cables, make sure that the cable plugs are correctly oriented and that they match the shapes of the terminal sockets on the devices. Push the plugs in straight when connecting them. If undue force is used to connect a cable, it may permanently damage the connector pins in the terminal socket. i Do not use excessive force when connecting and disconnecting cables.
