From the blog...

Answer truthfully, how many of you have actually used the complex DPOF functions on your camera that allow you to print directly from the camera to a compatible printer? Not me. Mine go straight into Aperture, get tweaked, cropped and generally fiddled with before they are ready for prime time. So if you're like me and not going to bother with it, then what could you possibly use that pointless print button on the top of the camera for?

By the way, I'm not trying to alienate any dedicated DPOF lovers out there, so please don't come back with any strongly worded comments if you fall into that group of dedicated direct-to-print enthusiasts ;-)

Right. Wass it for then??? Think of it as a convenient and configurable one-touch button for accessing certain camera features that will otherwise mean a trip into the menu tree to select, most likely just as the Abominable Snowman ducks behind a tree and you miss the shot.

It is used to turn on the CHDK menus.
Prior to having CHDK, I used it for EV comp. Very handy.

Actually, the Direct Print Button still functions as it did prior to CHDK.
First press calls up the CHDK <ALT> state.
Second press cancels <ALT> and activates whatever Canon Menu function is assigned to it.
