These instructions explain how to insert the date in images.

CAUTION

To select the items displayed on camera's LCD monitor, press the button shown below (right, left, up, and down). To specify the selected item, press the button.

The [Date Stamp] cannot be deleted from the image data once it has been recorded because the date is written in as an image.
Screens or menu listings may differ depending on the camera model being used.
As the actual locations of buttons / switches on cameras vary depending on the camera model, the illustrations that appear on this page may differ from your camera.
When the shooting mode is set to <Movie> (), settings for inserting the date and time cannot be made.
