Konica Minolta Dimage X20 instruction manual Date Imprinting, Date-imprinting indicator

DATE IMPRINTING

The date and time of recording can be printed directly on the image. The imprinting function must be activated before the image is taken. Once activated, the date will continue to be imprinted until the func- tion is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the frame counter on the monitor to indicate the imprinting function is active.

Date-imprinting indicator

Date imprinting is activated with the section 1 of the recording-mode menu (p. 48). Date imprinting has two menu options. The YYYY/MM/DD option prints the date. The MM/DD/hr:min option prints the month, day, and time of recording.

The date and time are imprinted in the lower right corner of the image when viewed horizontally. It is printed directly on the photograph writing over the image information. The date can be imprinted in three formats: year / month / day, month / day / year, and day / month / year. The date and date format are set in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 88).

Camera Notes

Every time a still image is recorded, it is stored with an exif tag that contains the date and time of recording as well as shooting information. This information can be viewed with the camera in the playback mode, or on a computer with the DiMAGE Viewer software.
