To print the date, set the [Date] setting in the print order menu, in Step 2 on the previous page, to [On]. You cannot set the date to print with the [Style] menu in Step 3 on the previous page (p. 94). If the print type is set to [Index], the date will not print even if the [Date] setting is set to [On] in Step 2.

When [Print Type] is set to [Both], you can set both the [Date] and [File Number] to [On] on your camera. However, if you print the [Index], only the file number will be printed. (If it's a BJ printer, when you print the [Index], neither the date nor the file number will be printed)

When [Print Type] is set to [Standard], the file number is not printed.

When the Print Type is set to [Index], the number of images that will be printed depends on the size of the paper.

•Card Size: 20 images

•L Size: 42 images

•Postcard Size: 63 images

(For information on resolution when printing with a BJ printer, refer to its manual)

A300 specifications

The Canon A300 is a compact digital camera that made its debut in the early 2000s, appealing to both amateur and experienced photographers looking for a user-friendly device that captures high-quality images without the complexity of advanced models. Boasting a combination of ease of use and robust features, the A300 quickly became a favorite among casual users.

One of the standout characteristics of the Canon A300 is its 3.2-megapixel resolution, which was impressive for its time, allowing users to capture clear and vibrant photos suitable for printing and sharing.

The A300 is equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens, thoughtfully designed to provide flexibility in capturing images, whether the subject is near or far. This lens allows users to achieve a range of compositions, from wide-angle landscapes to close-ups of intricate details. Additionally, the digital zoom feature enhances the zooming capabilities, although users are typically encouraged to rely on the optical zoom for optimal quality.

This technology ensures that subjects are captured sharply, regardless of lighting conditions or distances, which is essential for spontaneous photography. The A300 also features a simple and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to navigate settings and modes, enhancing the overall user experience.

Users can choose from various shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, and night scene, allowing for versatility in different environments.

The Canon A300 also supports a variety of image formats, with JPEG being the most common choice due to its balance between quality and file size. Additionally, the camera is powered by standard AA batteries, allowing for convenient replacements when power runs low.

In summary, the Canon A300 is a remarkable representation of early 2000s digital photography. Its blend of user-centric features, compact design, and respectable image quality solidified its position as a preferred choice for photographers seeking a reliable and efficient digital camera.
