Changing the USB Port Protocol

You can use the procedure below to change the

communication protocol of the camera’s USB port when

connecting to a computer, printer, or other external device.

Select the protocol that suits the device to which you are

connecting.

Press [MENU].

Select the “Set Up” tab, select “USB”, and

then press [].

Use [] and [] to select the setting you

want, and then press [SET].

Select this setting:

Mass Storage (USB

DIRECT-PRINT)

PTP (PictBridge)*

When connecting to this type of

device:

Computer or USB DIRECT-

PRINT-compatible printer (page

156)

PictBridge-compatible printer

(page 156)

* “PTP” stands for “Picture Transfer Protocol”.

• Mass Storage (USB DIRECT-PRINT) causes the

camera to see the computer as an external storage

device. Use this setting for normal transfer of images

from the camera to a computer (using the bundled

Photo Loader application).

• PTP (PictBridge) simplifies the transfer of image data

to the connected device.
