■ Setting the Date Imprint

You can imprint the captured images with the date on which they were taken.

When a still image is captured with the Date Imprint function set to ON, the date is imprinted on the JPEG file of the captured image (in the lower-left corner). Note that this is different from printing the date information of a file based on a printer setting, etc.
