With film-type cameras, you cannot see the pictures you have taken until the film has been developed. And arent you sometimes disappointed with the results when you do eventually see them? Pictures of blurred scenery or someone with their eyes shut. Or maybe you took several pictures of the same scene because you werent sure whether they would come out or not. Thats no way to record important memories! With a digital camera, you can review your pictures immediately. Just play the picture back as soon as youve taken it. If you dont like what you see, erase and take it again. So dont be afraid of pictures not coming out well just keep on pressing that shutter button!

8 Printing pictures

You can print out the pictures you have taken either at a photo store or at home on your own printer. If you go to a photo store, it is a good idea to store the print reservation data on the card first. This lets you select the pictures you want to print and decide how many prints you want. If you print the pictures at home, you can either connect the camera directly to the printer or you can connect the camera to a computer and download the pictures to the computer first.

Relation between printing and record mode when shooting 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. gRecord mode (P.26)
DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device. If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations. If there is not enough space in the card memory, you may not be able to enter the reservation data. CARD FULL will be displayed. You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card. Even if an image appears with the message PICTURE ERROR, it may be possible to make print reservations. In this case, the print reservation icon (<) does not appear when the image is displayed for full view. < appears when multiple images are displayed (index display), allowing you to confirm the print reservation. Not all functions may be available on all printers, at all print shops, or at all photo labs. Some TIFF images cannot be printed. You cannot make DPOF print reservations for images saved in raw data format. Print reservation may take a little time when saving printing data to a card.
All-frame reservation/Single-frame reservation
You can select all-frame reservation or single-frame reservation. U < Makes print reservations for all the pictures stored on the card. Select the desired number of prints and whether you want the date and time included. Use this feature to print only selected pictures.
