“ Print Set” and Digital Print Order Format ( DPOF)
The Print set option in the playback menu is used to create a digital “print order” list-
ing the pictures to be printed, the number of prints, and the information to be included
on each print. This print order is stored on the camera memory card in Digital Print
Order Format (DPOF). Once a print order has been created, the memory card can be
inserted in a DPOF-compatible device and the pictures printed directly from the card.
Before using this option, check that the printer or print service supports DPOF. Note
that if the Print set option has not been used to create a print order, one copy will be
printed of all pictures on the memory card.
