Date Imprinting - Minolta DiMAGE Xt Instruction Manual

DATE IMPRINTING

The date and time 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 func-
tion is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the frame counter on the
monitor to indicate the imprinting function is active.
Date imprinting is activated with the custom 2 section of the record-
ing-mode menu (p. 38). Date imprinting has two menu options. The YYYY/MM/DD option prints the
date. The MM/DD/hr:min option prints the month, day, and time of recording.
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 Quick View or playback mode, or on a computer with the DiMAGE Viewer software.
Date-imprinting indicator
The date and time are imprinted in the lower right
corner of the image when viewed horizontally. It is
printed directly on the photograph 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
format are set in the custom 2 section of the setup-
mode menu (p. 74).
