DPOF
The letters “DPOF” stand 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 in accordance with the file name
and number of copies settings recorded on
the card.
With this camera, you can select images by viewing them
on the monitor screen without needing to remember file
names, their locations in memory, etc.

 IMPORTANT! 
•DPOF settings are not cleared automatically after
printing is complete. This means that if you perform
another printing operation without clearing DPOF
settings, printing will be performed in accordance
with the last settings you configured. If you want to
prevent this from happening, perform the procedure
under “To configure print settings for all images”
(page 173) and change the number of copies to “00”.
After that, you can configure new DPOF settings as
required.
•If you take a memory card to a professional print
service, be sure to tell them that it includes DPOF
settings for the images to be printed and the number
of copies. If you don’t, the printing service may print
all images without regard to your DPOF settings, or
date printing may not be performed.
•Note that some professional print services do not
support DPOF printing. Check with your service
before ordering prints.
•Some printers may have settings that disable date
stamp and/or DPOF printing. See the user
documentation that comes with your printer for
details about how to enable these features.Using PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT
You can connect the camera
directly to a printer that supports
PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT,
and perform image selection and
printing using the camera monitor
screen and controls. DPOF support
(page 171) also lets you specify
which images you want to print and
how many copies of each should be
printed.
•PictBridge is a standard
established by the Camera and
Imaging Products Association
(CIPA).
•USB DIRECT-PRINT is a
standard proposed by Seiko
Epson Corporation.

Date Printing
Any one of the procedures described below can be used to
include the recording date in image prints. Correct date
printing requires that the current date be set on the camera
before the image is recorded.
•Specifying date printing with DPOF settings (page 172)
–Some printers may have settings that disable time
stamp and/or DPOF printing. See the user
documentation that comes with your printer for details
about how to enable these features.
–Note that some professional print services do not
support DPOF printing. Check with your service before
ordering prints.
•Specifying date printing with the Photohands software
that comes with the camera
–See page 23 of the Photohands User’s Guide for
details. The Photohands User’s Guide is provided as a
PDF file on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with your
camera.
•Specifying date printing when having printing done by a
print service
–Some print services do not support date printing. Check
with your service for more information.

 Printing Precautions
•See the documentation that comes with your printer for
information about print quality and paper settings.
•Contact your printer manufacturer for information about
models that support PictBridge and USB DIRECT-PRINT,
upgrades, etc.
•Never disconnect the USB cable, or perform any camera
or USB cradle operation while printing is in progress.
Doing so causes a printer error.

Exif Print
Exif Print is an
internationally supported,
open standard file format
that makes it possible to
capture and display vibrant
digital images with accurate
colors. With Exif 2.2, files
include a wide range of
shooting condition
information that can be
interpreted by an Exif Print
printer to produce better-
looking prints.
 IMPORTANT! 
•Information about the availability of Exif Print
compatible printer models can be obtained from each
printer manufacturer.
B
PRINT Image Matching III
Images include PRINT Image MatchingIII data (mode setting and other camera
setup information). A printer that
supports PRINT Image Matching 
IIIreads this data and adjusts the printed
image accordingly, so your images
come out just the way you intended
when you recorded them.

VIEWING IMAGES ON A COMPUTER
After using the USB cradle to establish a USB connection
between the camera and your computer, you can use your
computer to view images in file memory and copy images
to your computer’s hard disk or other storage media. In
order to do this, you first need to install the USB driver
located on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the
camera onto your computer.
Note that the procedure you need to perform depends on
whether you are using computer running under Windows
(see below) or a Macintosh (see page 188).Using the Camera with a Windows
Computer
The following are the general steps for viewing and copying
files from a computer running under Windows. You can find
details about each operation in the procedures that follow
below. Note that you should also refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer for other
information about USB connections, etc.
1. If you are running Windows 98SE or 98, install the
USB driver onto your computer.
•You need to perform this step only once, the first
time you connect to your computer.
•If you are running Windows XP, 2000, or Me, you do
not need to install the USB driver.
2. Use the USB cradle to establish a connection between
the camera and computer.
3. View and copy the images you want.
