Print settings (DPOF)
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/
time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a
personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a print shop that supports DPOF. DPOF is
a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.
You can print out pictures automatically, at home or at a photo shop, by storing data,
such as which pictures you want to print and the number of prints, on the card.
Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible print shop.
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without
using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A
PC card adapter may also be necessary.

TIPS
Relation between printing and record mode when shooting
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. This is expressed in dpi (dots per inch). The higher the
dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of
the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures.
