DATA IMPRINTING

Data can be printed directly on the image. The imprinting function must be activated before the image is taken. Once activated, data will continue to be imprinted until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the distance indicator and frame counter on the monitors to indicate the imprinting function is active. Data imprinting is controlled in the advanced 2 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80). Data imprinting cannot be used with super fine or RAW images or with UHS continuous- advance drive mode.
