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 CompactFlash card is simply taken to a photofinishing service or inserted into the CompactFlash-card slot of DPOF compatible printers. When a DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically made on the CompactFlash card to store it (p. 130). DPOF print files cannot be made for RAW images.

CREATING A DPOF PRINT ORDER

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 CompactFlash card has multiple folders, a printing file must be created for each folder. Folders are selected in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 114).

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 images in the folder specified in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 114).

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/right keys of the controller to highlight an image to be printed. Pressing the up key 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 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 icon 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.

When the this-frame or all-frames setting is chosen, a screen will appear 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 number of copies desired. If the all-frames setting was used to create a print order, any additional images saved afterwards in the folder will not be included in the order.

DPOF files cannot be created for images captured with another camera. DPOF data created on other cameras will not be recognized.

ORDERING AN INDEX PRINT

To create an index print of all the images in the folder, select the “Yes.” To cancel an index print, simply change the setting to “No.” If an index-print order is created, any additional images saved afterwards in the folder will not be included in the index print. The number of images printed per sheet differs between printers. The information printed with the thumbnails can vary.

CANCELING A DPOF PRINT ORDER

The cancel-print option deletes the DPOF files. When the setting is selected, a confirmation screen will appear; choosing and entering “Yes” will execute the operation and cancel the print order. After the pictures have been printed, the DPOF file will still remain on the CompactFlash card and must be canceled manually.

All frames C - To cancel all printing files on the CompactFlash card. All frames F - To cancel the printing file in the folder.
