DPOF is an abbreviation of [Digital Print

write print information to media and then 
use the information on a DPOF-compliant 
system.
DPOF print setting is a convenient 
function when you print pictures with 
printers supporting 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.
Some DPOF information set by other 
equipment may not be effective. In such 
cases, delete all of the DPOF information 
and then set it again with this camera.
If the fi le is not based on the DCF 
standard, the DPOF print setting cannot
