8.Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 6 and 8 and extracts the 
subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you 
selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.
• You can interrupt an ongoing subject extraction process (steps 6 through 8) at 
any time by pressing [MENU] or [BS].
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface 
of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to 
crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.
• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on 
the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting, 
etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on 
the monitor screen.
• The background you shoot in step 5 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the 
cropped subject image is saved.
Use the following procedure to insert a subject into a new background image. A 
Dynamic Photo with a moving subject is saved as a 2M (1600
x1200 pixels) or 
smaller size image. A Dynamic Photo with a still subject is saved as a 6M 
(2816
x2112 pixels) or smaller size image.
Procedure
PLAY mode * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * Dynamic Photo
1.Use [4] and [6] to select the background image you want and then 
press [SET].
• Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a 
background image.
– An image recorded with this camera or an image transferred to this camera’s 
memory using Photo Transport (page 128)
– An image with an aspect ratio of 4:3

2.Use [4] and [6] to select the subject image you want to insert and then 
press [SET].
3.Use the zoom button to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], [2], 
[4], and [6] to adjust its position.
4.When everything is the way you want, press [SET].
This inserts the subject into the background image and creates a Dynamic Photo.
• If the original still image into which a moving subject is inserted is smaller than 
2M size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.
• If the original still image into which a still subject is inserted is smaller than 6M 
size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.
NOTE
• The camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in 
memory, which you can use to create Dynamic Photos, if you like.
• Performing a delete or format operation will delete the sample subjects in built-in 
memory. If you delete the sample subjects, you can download them from the 
Dynamic Photo Special Site (http://dp.exilim.com/) and restore them to built-in 
camera memory.
• You can copy the sample subjects to a memory card using the “Built-in * Card” 
copy operation (page 108).
1.Press [p] (PLAY) and then use [4] and [6] to display the Dynamic

in poor communication or 
malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, 
you still will be able to see the metal part of the 
connector as shown in the illustration.
• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, 
make sure you align the connector correctly with the 
port.

.Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)
DPOF is a standard that allows you to include image type, number of copy, 
and time stamp on/off information on the memory card with the images. 
After configuring settings, you can use the memory card to print on a home 
printer that supports DPOF or take the memory card to a professional print 
service.
• Whether or not you will be able to use DPOF settings for printing depends on the 
printer you are using.
• Some professional print services may not support DPOF.
.Configuring DPOF Settings Individually for Each Image
Procedure
PLAY mode * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * 
DPOF Printing * Select images
1.Use [4] and [6] to scroll through the files until the image you want to 
print is displayed.

number of copies of all images.
Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!
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 print service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF settings, 
or they may ignore your date stamp setting.

.Date Stamping
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the 
printout of an image.
.Standards Supported by the Camera
• PictBridge
This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association 
(CIPA).
• PRINT Image Matching III
Using image editing software and printing on a printer that supports 
PRINT Image Matching III makes it possible to use information about 
shooting conditions that is recorded with the image, and produce 
exactly the type of image you want. PRINT Image Matching and 
PRINT Image Matching III are trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.
•Exif Print
Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print (Exif 2.2) uses 
information about shooting conditions recorded with the image to 
enhance printed image quality. Contact your printer manufacturer 
for information about models that support Exif Print, printer upgrades, etc.
Configuring camera settings
Configure DPOF settings (page 117).
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure 
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.
Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 142).
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you 
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date 
stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two 
stamps to be overprinted.
Configuring computer settings
You can use commercially available image management software to date 
stamp images.
Professional print service
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.
