NOTES
• Depending on the number of images on
the memory card (Windows: 1,800
images or more; Macintosh: 1,000
images or more), you may not be able to
transfer images to a computer. Try using
a card reader.
• Connection to a PictBridge-compatible
printer will not work when the memory
card contains 1,800 images or more. For
best performance, we recommend
keeping the number of images on the
memory card under 100.
• When printing still images, use the
following guidelines as a reference for
selecting the print size.

L 1152x864 To print photos up to L size
(9 x 13 cm) or postcard size
(10 x 14.8 cm).
