Print reservation (DPOF)
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the
date/time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from
digital cameras. You can print out pictures automatically, at home or in a photo
lab, by storing such data as which pictures you wish to print and the number of
prints on a card.
Pictures set with print reservation can be printed using the following
procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo lab
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data
without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printer's instruction manual.
A PC card adapter may also be necessary depending on the printer.
Picture size and printing
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi
value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the
picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures.
