printing on DPOF-compatible printers or in print shops (A157).
When the camera is connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer, pictures can be 
printed from the printer according to the DPOF print order you have created for 
pictures on the memory card. If the memory card is removed from the camera, you 
can create the DPOF print order for pictures in the internal memory and print 
pictures according to the DPOF print order.

BNotes on Printing Shooting Date and Photo Information
When the Date and Info options are enabled in the Print set menu, shooting date and photo 
information are printed on pictures when a DPOF-compatible (A157) printer which supports 
printing of shooting date and photo information is used.
•Photo information cannot be printed when the camera is connected directly to a printer, via the 
supplied USB cable, for DPOF printing (A91).
•Date and Info are reset each time the Print set menu is displayed.
•The date and time printed on the picture is the date and time 
recorded on the camera when the picture was taken. The date 
and time printed using this option will not be affected even if the 
camera’s Date setting is changed from the setup menu after the 
pictures are taken.
DDate Imprint
The shooting date and time can be imprinted in pictures at the time of shooting by using Date 
imprint (A124) in the setup menu. This information can be printed even from printers that do not 
support printing of date and time.
Only the date and time of date imprint on the pictures will be printed, even if Print set is enabled 
with the date selected in the print set screen.

CNumber of Exposures Remaining
The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory 
and on a 512 MB memory card. Note that the number of images that can be stored will differ 
depending on the composition of the image (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number 
may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the 
same.
1 If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures remaining 
display shows “9999”.
2 Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.
Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and 
multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, even with the same image size setting, images printed at 
higher resolutions will print smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions 
will print larger than the size indicated.

BWhite Balance
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with 
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct 
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this 
adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the 
light source. This is known as “white balance”. For natural coloration, choose a 
white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.
Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you 
can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve 
more accurate results.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings 
other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
BWhite Balance
This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. ➝ “Functions that Cannot be
