That is indicated by dpi (dots per inch). The higher thedpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi ofthe picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with ahigher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although youcan print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high aspossible when taking the pictures. g“Record mode” (P.25)Note• 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, enteringreservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.• If there is not enough space in the card memory, you may not be able to enterthe 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 bepossible to make print reservations.
