Date Imprinting No (Disabled) - Minolta Dimage S304 Instruction Manual

AUTO-RECORDING MODE
DATE IMPRINTING
The date of recording can be printed directly on the image.
The imprinting function must be activated before the image is
taken. Once activated, the date will continue to be imprinted
until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the
frame counter on the monitor to indicate the imprinting
function is active.
Camera Notes
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.
