About DPOF

This camera is supported by DPOF version 1.1. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) allows direct
printing of still images from digital cameras. After the DPOF file is created, the memory card is simply
taken to a photofinishing service or inserted into the card slot of DPOF compatible printers. When a
DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically made on the memory card to store it (p. 72).

Creating a DPOF print order

The print menu option is used to set an order for standard prints from still images on the
memory card. Single, multiple, or all images can be printed.
The print option has four settings:
This-frame - To create a DPOF file for the image displayed or highlighted in playback mode.
All-frames - To create a DPOF file for all still images on the memory card
Marked frames - To chose a group of images to be printed or when the number of copies for each
image varies. When selected, the frame selection screen will appear. Use the left and right keys to
highlight an image to be printed. Pressing the zoom lever up will mark the image with the printer
icon. The number next to the icon indicates the number of copies of that image will be printed.
Pressing the zoom lever up will increase the number of copies, pressing the zoom lever down will
decrease the number. A maximum of nine copies can be ordered. To deselect an image for printing,
press the zoom lever down until the the number of copies reaches zero and the printer icon
disappears. Continue until all the images to be printed are marked. Press the enter button to create
the DPOF file, or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu.
Cancel all - To delete the DPOF print files. When selected, a confirmation screen will appear;
highlighting and entering "Yes" will cancel the print order.
