Solution

These instructions explain how to insert the date in images.

Attention:

  • As the actual locations of buttons / switches on cameras vary depending on the camera model, the illustrations that appear on this page may differ from your camera.
  • The [Date Stamp] cannot be deleted from the image data once it has been recorded because the date is written in as an image.
  • In the following shooting modes, you cannot insert a date onto images (Date Stamp).
