Date imprinting
Every time a still image is recorded, it is stored with an exif tag that contains the date and time
of recording as well as shooting information. This information can be viewed with the camera
in the Quick View or playback mode, or on a computer with the DiMAGE Viewer software.
Camera Notes
The date is imprinted in the lower right corner of the image
when viewed horizontally. It is printed directly on the pho-
tograph writing over the image information. The date can
be imprinted in three formats: year / month / day, month /
day / year, and day / month / year. The date and date for-
mat are set in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 86).
The date of recording can be printed directly on the image. The
imprinting function must be activated in section 2 of the setup menu
(p. 86) before the image is taken. Once activated, the date will con-
tinue to be imprinted until the function is reset; a yellow bar is dis-
played behind the frame counter to indicate the imprinting function
is active.

Date and time setup
It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is recorded, the date
and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed during playback or can be
read with the supplied DiMAGE Viewer software. The date format that is displayed or imprinted can
be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year, month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY
(day, month, year). See page 18 for instructions on how to set the clock and calendar.
