    Solution

      These instructions explain how to insert the date in images.
      CAUTION
      • In this section, [PowerShot A3100 IS] is used as an example to explain the operations. Depending on your model, the position of buttons, screen indications, and setting items may vary.
      • The [Date Stamp] cannot be deleted from the image data once it has been recorded because the date is written in as an image.
      • In the following shooting modes, you cannot add a date to the images (Date Stamp).
      - [Easy]* (), [LowLight] (), [Stitch Assist]* (), [Movie] ()
      * Only applicable to supported models.

      1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.




      2. Press the <MENU> () button.




      3. The following screen will appear on the LCD monitor.



      Operate the <directional button> to select the [Shooting] () tab.
      Operate the <directional button> to set [Date Stamp] to [Date] or [Date & Time].
      After making these settings, press the <MENU> () button.


      4. If you set [Date Stamp], [DATE] will appear on the LCD monitor.



      If [DATE] does not appear, press the <DISP.> () button a few times to switch the screen display.


      5. When shooting with this setting, the date will be embedded in the image as shown below.



      [Date]
      [Date & Time]


      WARNING
      The date, its font and color, and the position where it is displayed cannot be changed. Also, dates and times recorded with [Date Stamp] cannot be deleted.
