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.
1.
Press [MENU].
2.
Select the “Set Up” tab, select “USB”, and
then press [̈].
3.
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

PictBridge-compatible printer
(page 174)
*“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.
