Dynamic Photo
This camera comes with a number of subjects in built-in 
memory (“built-in subjects”), which you can insert into 
snapshots and movies to create Dynamic Photo images.
• The term “built-in subjects” refers to the moving figures 
and characters that came pre-programmed in the 
camera’s built-in memory.
Use the following procedure to insert a built-in subject image into a snapshot or 
movie.
Procedure
[p] (PLAY) * [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.
– A snapshot or movie recorded with this camera or a snapshot transferred to 
this camera’s memory using Photo Transport (page 128)
– A snapshot with an aspect ratio of 4:3
2.Use [4] and [6] to select the built-in subject that you want to insert

3.If you are inserting a subject into a movie an 
image will appear on the monitor screen 
showing the approximate location of the 
subject in the movie. Use [4] and [6] to shift 
the location to the position you want. After you 
are finished, press [SET].
• If you insert a subject into a movie, the resulting movie will be a maximum of 
20 seconds long. Everything before and after the insertion is cut off. If the 
movie you are inserting into (original movie) is shorter than 20 seconds, the 
resulting movie will be the same length as the original movie.
• If you are inserting a subject into a snapshot, skip directly to step 4.
4.Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], 
[2], [4], and [6] to adjust its position.
5.When everything is the way you want, press [SET].
This inserts the subject into another image and creates a Dynamic Photo.
• Inserting an animated subject into a snapshot will save a Dynamic Photo that 
consists of 20 still images of 2M size or smaller.
• Inserting a subject into a movie will save the Dynamic Photo as a movie file.
NOTE
• Performing a delete or format operation will not delete the built-in subjects.
• You can copy the built-in subjects to a memory card using the “Built-in * Card” 
copy operation (page 90).

.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 the Same DPOF Settings for All the Images
Procedure
[p] (PLAY) * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * 
DPOF Printing * All images

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 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 145).
• 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.
