.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.

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).
•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 82).
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 106).
• 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.

a computer with a USB 
cable starts charging of 
the camera’s battery 
(page 17).
• Make sure that you insert 
the cable connector into 
the USB/AV port until you 
feel it click securely into 
place. Failure to insert the 
connector fully can result 
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.
• Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera 
if you connect via a USB hub. Always connect directly to 
the computer’s USB port.
5.Turn on the camera.
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an 
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and 
then reconnect the USB cable.

							90Using the Camera with a Computer
IMPORTANT!
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing 
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
Windows Media Player, which is already installed on most computers, can be used 
for movie playback. To play back a movie, first copy the movie to your computer and 
then double-click the movie file.
.Minimum Computer System Requirements for Movie Playback
The minimum system requirements described below are necessary to play back 
movies recorded with this camera on a computer.
• The above are recommended system environments. Configuring one of these 
environments does not guarantee proper operation.
• Certain settings and other installed software may interfere with proper playback of 
movies. Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files 
that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.
Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which 
will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter 
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or 
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.
