What is PictBridge on digital cameras and how does it work?

Answer 1

PictBridge is a method of using a camera and printer together for computerless prints. It requires a PictBridge camera and PictBridge printer. Look for the PictBridge symbol on a printer box or near the printer's front USB port. Same goes for cameras. On some cameras, you must first set the USB mode to pictbridge. After that, connect your camera to your printer's PictBridge USB port, and follow the directions on the camera's screen. When you're done with using your camera to set ti up, leave it on while the printer prints your pictures. After that, you're done!

Answer 3

If your printer is Pictbridge compatible then yes it will work with any digital camera

Answer 4

PictBridge is an industry standard from the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) for direct printing. It allows images to be printed directly from digital cameras to a printer, without having to connect the camera to a computer. Its formal name is "Standard of Camera & Imaging Products Association CIPA DC-001 — 2003 Digital Solutions for Imaging Devices". [1]

PictBridge defines an application-layer interface that is transport independent, enabling its extensibility for implementation on future physical interfaces. The new specification is initially written for USB as a physical transport and Picture Transfer Protocol for data transfer. By connecting a PictBridge-enabled digital still camera to a PictBridge-enabled printer with a single cable, users can easily control the print settings using their camera and produce high-quality photos without using a PC.

PictBridge supports the following features: Print an image displayed on the digital still camera, print two or more images selected from the display on the digital still camera, automatically print images using the Digital Print Order Format specification, print an index of all images, print all images.

Advanced features using the print setup option include: print part of the image by specifying the print area, print multiple copies of a single image, print images with a date imprint, specify the exact size of a print.

Printer status information displayed on the digital still camera includes: establishment of a connection, printer error, printing progress, end of print job, cable can be safely disconnected.

PictBridge is sometimes described as an open standard, whereas in fact the specification can only be obtained from CIPA after agreement not to disclose any information from the specification to others (section 2.2 of the agreement). For example, this probably means that PictBridge cannot be implemented by Free/Libre/Open-Source Software other than by reverse-engineering the protocol (perhaps aided by the white paper that CIPA do provide), if publishing source code of an implementation of the PictBridge standard counts as “disclosing information” from the specification.

Answer 5

you are taking about the type of USB connection. With PictBridge USB mode you can connect you DigiCam directly to your print and fire some quick prints.
