PictBridge Compliance
This camera complies with the industry standard “PictBridge”*. This allows you to also
connect your camera to non-Canon PictBridge compliant printers and print images
with simple operations using the camera buttons.
* PictBridge: PictBridge is a new industry standard for direct printing that allows you to print images
without using a computer by directly connecting digital cameras and digital camcorders (hereafter
“camera”) to a printer, regardless of the devices’ brand and model.
Printing Selected Images with DPOF Settings
This option allows you to select images for printing and print settings, such as the
number of copies, with the camera (DPOF* print settings). This is very
convenient when you want to print several images at once or have them printed
at a photo lab.
* Digital Print Order Format
Please see the Camera User Guide for details on how to select DPOF print settings.
This guide explains how to print images that have already been selected.
