• DPOF is an abbreviation of "Digital Print
Order Format". This feature allows you to
write print information to media and then
use the information on a DPOF-compliant
system.
• DPOF print setting is a convenient
function when printing pictures with a
printer that supports PictBridge (P113).
The date printing setting on the printer
may take priority over the date printing
setting on the camera. Check the date
printing setting on the printer also. (P113)
• It is necessary to delete all previous
DPOF print information made on other
equipment when setting DPOF print on
the camera.
• If the file is not based on the DCF
standard, the DPOF print setting cannot
be set.
