Notes on imprinting data
Darkness of imprinted data
• Darkness of the imprinted data is automatically adjusted by the camera depending
upon the sensitivity of the loaded film. However, imprinted data may appear darker
or lighter depending on the type of film used even with the same film sensitivity
since data is imprinted from the reverse side of the film. So make trial shots to
check the darkness of the imprinted data and if it is not adequate, adjust the
darkness in Custom Setting “d8: Imprint density” (x 103).
• Set the imprint density to +1 or +2 with a film such as Kodachrome 64,
Kodachrome 200 or Fujichrome Velvia, that has low sensitivity from the reverse
side.
Special purpose film
• Data cannot be imprinted on low-sensitivity films such as infrared film or reprocopy
film.
Make sure to set the date/time before setting imprinted data (x 35).
Data imprint in multiple exposure
• In multiple exposure mode (x 138), data is imprinted at first exposure.
• Imprinted data may become difficult to read when many backgrounds or subjects
are exposed in multiple exposure.
Using in-frame imprint in combination with between-frame imprint
• Some data cannot be imprinted when both in-frame and between-frame imprint
are selected. If you cannot select your desired data or imprint is not possible,
change the data imprint setting.
When in-frame imprint is selected beforehand:
• When in-frame imprint is set to date, date and time, user index number, frame
count number or sequential number, the same data is imprinted between frames
and different data cannot be selected. However, “+Date” for date, “+Date and
time” for date and time and “+User Index No.” for user index number can be
set.
When between-frame imprint is selected beforehand:
• When between-frame imprint is set to date, date and time, user index number,
frame count number or sequential number, the same data is imprinted in-frame
and different data cannot be selected.
• When “fi= + metering system”, “fi= + focal length” or “fi= + time” is
selected for between-frame imprint, data cannot be imprinted in-frame.
