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" (
• 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.

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
