DATA IMPRINTING

Data can be printed on a still image and saved to the file’s Exif data. The 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 frame counter on the monitors to indicate the function is active. Data imprinting is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80). Data imprinting cannot be used with TIFF or RAW images. Only one imprinting format can be used with each image.
