∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
We recommend setting DPOF date printing 
with [DPOF PRINT] (P70) in advance when 
the printer supports it. If you select 
[DPOF PICTURE], printing starts and the 
recording date is printed.
∫Layout printing
 When printing a picture several times 
on 1 sheet of paper
For example, if you want to print a picture 
4 times on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[NUM. OF PRINTS] to 4.
 When printing different pictures on 
1 sheet of paper (only in DPOF 
printing)
For example, if you want to print 4 different 
pictures on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[COUNT] in [DPOF PRINT] (P68) to 1 for 
each of the 4 pictures.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [ ] is displayed. 
(Depending on the printer, the icon may 
not be displayed.)
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the printer are 
connected, the status indicator blinks and 
the alarm beeps. If this happens during 
printing, press [MENU/SET] and stop 
printing at once. If not printing, disconnect 
the USB connection cable.
 The camera is receiving an error message 
from the printer when the [¥] indication 
lights orange during printing. After 
finishing printing, make sure there are no 
problems with the printer.
 If the total number of DPOF prints or the 
number of DPOF pictures printed is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. The 
remaining number of prints indicated may differ from the number set. This is not a 
malfunction.
 With date printing, the setting on the 
printer may take priority over the setting 
on the camera. Check the date print 
setting on the printer also.
