Date Stamp Mode

You can shoot images with settings appropriate for embedding the date and for use in postcard size printing by choosing to shoot in the [Date Stamp] mode.

* When printing standard image data to a postcard sized print, sometimes the top, bottom and sides may not get printed. By shooting images in the Date Stamp mode, you can check the printing area (vertical / horizontal ratio of 3:2) beforehand. In addition, the resolution locks to M1 (1600 x 1200) and the compression locks to the (Fine) setting, rendering smaller file sizes.
