• About DPOF 

DPOF  stands  for  “Digital  Print  Order  Format”,  which  is  a  format  for 

recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images 

should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed. 

Then  you  can  print  on  a  DPOF-compatible  printer  or  at  a  professional 

print service from the memory card in accordance with the file name and 

number of copies settings recorded on the card.

With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on 

the LCD screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the 

file contents.

  IMPORTANT!

 

 

DPOF print settings can be configured for images on a memory card only, not for 

images in the camera’s built-in memory. 

Setting the DPOF: 

1.  Insert an SD card into the camera. 
2.  Turn on the camera. 
3.  Set the camera to the Playback mode. 
4.  Press the 

 button.

5.  Press   left or   right button to select DPOF
6.  Press  the 

  or 

  button  to  select  the 

desired setting.
