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 compatible printers. When a DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically made on the memory card to store it (p. 152). DPOF print files cannot be made for RAW images or images with embedded color profiles (p. 102).

DPOF SETUP

The print menu option is used to set an order for standard prints from images in a specific folder. Single, multiple, or all images can be printed. If a memory card has multiple folders, a printing file must be created for each folder. Folders are selected with the view- folder option in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 116) or the select-folder option in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 137).

Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight an image to be printed. Pressing the up key will mark the image with the printer indicator. The number next to the indicator indicates the number of copies of that image will be printed. Pressing the up key will increase the number of copies, pressing the down key will decrease the number. A maximum of nine copies can be ordered. To deselect an image for printing, press the down key until the the number of copies reaches zero and the printer indicator disappears. Continue until all the images to be printed are marked. Press the controller to create the DPOF file, or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu.
