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).

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 playback or quick-view mode or on a computer with the DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility soft-
ware .
