The date or part of the date in images shot in [Date Stamp] mode with a camera that has the Postcard Print mode may not be printed properly depending on the trimming setting.

The selected image, paper size and border settings determine the shape of the trimming frame. Please use the LCD monitor to set the trimming settings. The trimming frame may not display correctly on a TV screen.
