Digital Zoom; Date Imprinting - Minolta Dimage F200 Instruction Manual

Digital zoom

The digital zoom is activated on the auto-recording mode menu (p. 44) and in the custom
1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56). The digital zoom extends the
power of the telephoto position of the optical zoom by up to 4X in 0.1X increments. The
transition between the optical zoom and digital zoom is seamless. When the digital zoom
is active, the image magnification is displayed on the monitor and the focus frames
change to a single focus area. The autofocus mode is set to single-shot AF (p. 65). The
digital zoom is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off.

The digital zoom is operated by
the zoom lever (1). Turn the
lever right (T) to zoom in to the
telephoto position of the lens.
When the digital zoom activates,

displayed on the monitor. Only
the LCD monitor will show the
affect of the digital zoom; the
viewfinder will not. Turn the lever

Digital zoom images are
interpolated to the set image

images taken with the digital
zoom may be evident.

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. Date imprinting is activated with
auto-recording mode menu (p. 44) and with the custom 2
section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56).
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 is 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. 98).
