stops operating while communicating with the printer, the printer may
malfunction or image data may be lost.
• Images recorded in movie mode and raw data cannot be printed.
• The camera will not enter sleep mode when connected to a printer with the USB
cable.
Available printing modes, paper sizes etc., vary depending on the printer you
