About DPOF

This camera is supported by DPOF™ version 1.1. The 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 memory-card slot of DPOF compati-
ble printers. When a DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically created on the memory
card to store it (p. 106).

DPOF setup

The DPOF-set menu option is used to create an order for standard prints from still images on the
memory card. Single, multiple, or all images can be printed. Print orders are created in section 3 of
the playback menu (p. 72). The print menu option has four settings:
This
To create a DPOF file for the displayed or highlighted image.
frame
All frames To create a DPOF file for all images on the memory card.
To chose a group of images to be printed or when the number of copies of each
image varies. When selected, the frame selection screen (p. 74) appears. Use the
left/right keys of the controller to highlight an image to be printed. Pressing the up
key marks the image with the print indicator. The number next to the indicator shows
the number of copies that will be printed. Pressing the up key increases the number
Marked
of copies, pressing the down key decreases the number. A maximum of nine copies
frames
can be ordered. To deselect an image for printing, press the down key until the num-
ber of copies reaches zero and the print indicator disappears. Continue until all the
images to be printed are marked. Press the central button of the controller 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 file.
84 Advanced playback
When the this-frame or all-frames setting is chosen, a screen appears requesting the number of
copies of each image; a maximum of nine copies can be ordered. Use the up/down keys of the
controller to set the required number of copies. If the all-frames setting was used to create a print
order, any additional images recorded afterwards will not be included in the order.
DPOF files created with another camera will be canceled. After the pictures have been printed, the
DPOF file will still remain on the memory card and must be canceled manually.

Date print

To print the date of capture with each image with a DPOF compatible printer, turn the section 3
menu option on. To cancel date print, simply turn the option off. How and where the date is printed
varies with the printer.

Index print

To create an index print of all the images on the card, select
"Yes" in the index print option in section 3 of the playback
menu. To cancel an index print, simply change the setting
to "No."
If an index-print order is created, any additional images
saved afterwards on the card will not be included in the
index print. The number of images printed per sheet differs
between printers. The information printed with the thumb-
nails can vary.
Camera Notes
DPOF files and images can be printed directly from the camera with a DPOF compatible
PictBridge printer, see page 117.
