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 photo store 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 store, 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 at a DPOF-compatible photo store.
You can have your pictures printed according to 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 inch (dpi). 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.
