uHow to Specify Print Options (DPOF)

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as an xD-Picture Card. The recorded specifications include information on which frames are to be printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with FinePix A400 / FinePix A500.
