Date
If Date is selected, the recording date will appear on pictures printed using DPOF. The date to be
printed will remain unchanged even if Date in the Set-up menu is changed after shooting pictures.
If a picture is taken without setting the camera clock, the date will not be printed even if Date is
selected in the PRINT SET menu.
Differences Between Print Set and Date Imprint
The differences between Print set in the Playback menu and Date imprint (P.102) in the Set-up
menu are as follows:
• Setting Date in the PRINT SET menu:
– The recording date can be printed only with a printer that supports date-print configuration
for DPOF.
– You can set the option after taking pictures.
– The date is not imprinted on the image itself, but recorded in the DPOF setting files. When
printing, the date will be printed on the image. The position of the date depends on the print-
er.
• Setting Date imprint in the Set-up menu:
– The date is imprinted in the images and can be printed without making other settings.
– The option must be set before taking pictures.
– The position of the date is fixed at the bottom right hand corner of the picture.
– Once the date is imprinted, it cannot be deleted from the image.
• When the Date and Info options in Print Set and Date imprint are set, only the date from the
Date imprint option will be printed even when using a printer that supports DPOF.
If an Error Occurs
If an error message is displayed, check the printer and resolve the problem
as directed in the printer manual. Highlight Resume and press d to re-
sume printing. Select Cancel to exit without printing the remaining imag-
es.
Resume may not be available depending on the type of error. In this case,
select Cancel.
Notes on DPOF Printing
• DPOF printing is available only when a print order is created for the pictures stored in the inter-
nal memory or on the memory card using Print set.
• When printing directly with a printer that supports PictBridge, shooting information cannot be
printed even if Info is selected in PRINT SET menu.
Printing the Recording Date and Time on Pictures
The recording date and time can be printed by one of the following methods:
• Before taking pictures, set the Date imprint option in the Set-up menu (P.75, 102).
• Set the Date option in the PRINT SET menu of the Playback menu (P.72 - 74).
• Transfer the pictures to a computer and print them using PictureProject print settings. For more
information, see the PictureProject Reference Manual (on CD).
