When exposure compensation (x 74) or Auto Exposure Bracketing (x 75) is performed in flash photography, flash output level is also compensated and recorded as flash exposure compensation value even when no flash exposure compensation is set. See “Recorded/imprinted exposure compensation/flash exposure compensation value” on page 148 for details.

No data is imprinted if attached Speedlight is turned off.

Metering system:

The exposure metering system (x 62) in use when pictures are taken is imprinted.

Focal length:

Selected focal length (lens’ zoom position) when pictures are taken is imprinted.

Zoom position is imprinted with a zoom lens. The lens’ focal length is imprinted with a non-zoom lens.

With non-CPU lens, if the lens data is set in “Specifying lens data” (x 144), set data is imprinted (no data is imprinted when lens data is not specified).

Effective aperture is imprinted when Teleconverter is attached (only with CPU lens). However, the focal length is not imprinted correctly when AF-S Teleconverter TC- 17E II is used with AF-S 300mm f/2.8D ED or AF-S 400mm f/2.8D ED (focal length is imprinted correctly with AF-S 300mm f/2.8D II ED or AF-S 400mm f/2.8D II ED).
