DATA IMPRINTING
Data can be printed directly on the image. The imprinting function must be activated
before the image is taken. Once activated, data will continue to be imprinted until the
function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the distance indicator and frame
counter on the monitors to indicate the imprinting function is active. Data imprinting is
controlled in the Custom 2 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80).
