When printing with DPOF, you must use the card whose print order
specifications have been set. It will not work if you just extract images
from the card and try to print them.
Certain DPOF-com_oatible printers and photofinishers may not be able to
print the images as you specified, if this happens with your printer, refer
to the printer's instruction manual. Qr check with your photofinisher
about compatibility when ordering prints.
Do not inser[ into the camera a card whose print order was set by a
different camera and then try to specify a print order. The print order may
not work or may be overwritten. Also. depending on the image type, the
print order may not be possible.
] RAW images and movies cannot be print ordered. You can print RAW
images with PictBndge (p.296).

[-_ Transferring images to a Personal Computer _
You can connect the camera to a personal computer and operate the
camera to transfer images on the card to the personal computer. This is
called direct image transfer.
The direct image transfer can be performed with the camera while
you look at the LCD monitor.
The images transferred to the personal computer will be saved in the
[Pictures] or [My Pictures] folder and organized in folders by shooting
date.
Before connecting the camera to the personal computer, be
sure to install the provided software (EOS DiGiTAL Solution
Disk on CD-ROM) on the personal computer.
For the procedure to install the provided software, see page 395.

TvtAv: Shutter speed/Aperture
This takes effect in the shutter-priority AE (Tv) and aperture-priority AE
(Av) modes. If the subject brightness changes and the standard
exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the
camera will automatically change the manually-selected setting to obtain
a standard exposure.
ISO: _SO speed
This works in the Program AE (P), shutter-priority AE (Tv), and
aperture-priority AE (Av) modes. If the subject brightness changes and
the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure
range, the camera will automatically change the manually set ISO speed
to obtain a standard exposure.
Under [It_2: ISO speed settings], even if [ISO speed range] or [Min.
shutter spd.] is changed from the default setting, safety shift will
override it if a standard exposure cannot be obtained.
The minimum and maximum ISO speeds of the safety shift using the ISO
speed will be determined by the [Auto ISO range] setting (p. 127).
However. if the manually set ISO speed exceeds the [Auto ISO range],
the safety shift will take effect up to the manually set ISO speed.
ff [Shutter speedlApertu[e] or [ISO speed] is set, safety shift will take
effect if necessary even when flash isused.
