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 106).

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.

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 115).
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 141).
• 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.
