How to connect the camera to a printer

Initializing Connection

You can connect a camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer for printing.

Some printers can print directly from the camera’s memory card. For details, see the manual for your printer.

For model DMC-F5:
- When printing pictures from the built-in memory, remove any memory cards.
Adjust the print quality or other settings on your printer, as needed.
Turn on the camera and printer.

Connect camera to printer.
- Check the plug direction and insert it straight in. (If the cable is inserted in the wrong direction, the plug could become deformed and cause faulty operation.) Also, do not insert into the wrong socket. Doing so may cause damage to this unit.
- Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Use [▼] to select [PictBridge(PTP)] and press [MENU / SET].
Use [◄ / ►] to select a picture and press [MENU / SET].
Use [▲] to select [Print start] and press [MENU / SET].

Multiple pictures are printed at one time.

Before inserting or removing a card, turn the camera off and disconnect the USB connection cable.

Yellow Circle / Orange Circle displayed during printing indicates an error message.
Print may be divided into several pictures if printing a large amount of pictures (Remaining sheets display may differ from the number of pictures set for printing).
