The date printing setting on the printer 
may take priority over the date printing 
setting on the camera. Check the date 
printing setting on the printer also. (P100)
 It is necessary to delete all previous 
DPOF print information made on other 
equipment when setting DPOF print on 
the camera.
 If the file is not based on the DCF 
standard, the DPOF print setting cannot 
be set. DCF is an abbreviation of “Design 
rule for Camera File system”, stipulated by
