 DPOF is an abbreviation of “Digital Print 
Order Format”. This feature allows you to 
write print information to media and then 
use the information on a DPOF-compliant 
system.
 DPOF print setting is a convenient 
function when printing pictures with a 
printer that supports PictBridge. 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. (P83)
 It is necessary to delete all previous 
DPOF print information made on other
