IMPORTANT!

Cropping an image creates a new file that contains the cropped image. The file with the original image also remains in memory.

A Movie mode image cannot be cropped.

An image recorded using another camera model cannot be cropped.

If the message “This function is not supported for this file.” appears, it means that the current image cannot be cropped.

The cropping operation cannot be performed if there is not enough memory to store the cropped image.

When you display a trimmed image on the camera’s monitor screen, the date and time that the image was trimmed appears on the screen. Note, however, that the EXIF data* accompanying the trimmed image is

the data for the original (pre-trim) image.

*EXIF data is information about recording conditions that is stored along with the image data. See page 154 for more information.
