DATE IMPRINTING
The date and time of recording can be printed directly on a still
image. The imprinting function must be activated before the image
is taken. Once activated, the date will continue to be imprinted
until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the
frame counter on the monitor to indicate the imprinting function is
active.
Date imprinting is activated with section 3 of the recording menu
(p. 38). Date imprinting has two menu options. The YYYY/MM/DD
option prints the date. The MM/DD/hr:min option prints the month,
day, and time of recording.
The date and time are imprinted in the lower right corner of the
image when viewed horizontally. It is printed directly on the photo-
graph writing over the image information. The date can be imprint-
ed in three formats: year / month / day, month / day / year, and
day / month / year. The date and date format are set in section 3
of the setup menu (p. 73).
