Procedure
[SET] MENU Set Up Tab Date Stamp
You can configure the camera to stamp the recording date only, or date and time in
the lower right corner of each snapshot.
• Once date and time information is stamped into a snapshot, it cannot be edited or
deleted.
Example: July, 10, 2012, 1:25 p.m.
• Even if you do not stamp the date and/or time with Date Stamp, you can do so later
using the DPOF function or some printing application (page 74).
• Digital zoom is disabled while time stamping is turned on.
• Time stamping is disabled when certain Scene Mode scenes are being used.
Procedure
[SET] MENU Set Up Tab Adjust
When the date and time settings are what you want, press [SET] to apply them.
• You can specify a date from 2001 to 2049.
• Be sure to select your Home City (page 74) before setting the time and date. If you
set the time and date while the wrong city is selected for your Home City, the times
and dates of all of the World Time cities (page 85) will be wrong.
