Using a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) File

A DPOF file is a file that you create using your digital camera. It is stored on the memory card and contains information such as which photos are selected and how many of each photo is to be printed. For example, when you gather with family and friends to view your photos, you could create a DPOF file containing references of photos they want to print. Some printers can read a DPOF file from the memory card so that you do not have to re-select the photos to print.

Note: If you delete a photo that is referenced in a DPOF file on the memory card, you need to recreate the DPOF file before printing the photos directly from the memory card.

To create a DPOF file:

1.Turn the camera on and turn the camera mode dial to Rev.

2.Press the Menu button.

3.Use the 4-way arrow button to scroll to the DPOF menu. You can choose to:

•Add current - add the current photo to the DPOF file.

•Add all - add all the photos stored on the memory card to the DPOF file.

If you have marked your photos (see “Marking Photos” on page 70), you can:

•Add marked - add marked photos to the DPOF file.
