Date stamp on -off setting in menu does not function

Scrolling down thw menu title to 'date stamp', 'date stamp' is scipped over

  • Anonymous May 03, 2009

    i really don't understand why this is so. i found time and date stamps very helpfull while browsing through numerous photos on my computer and to not have this option available in "normal" shooting mode is nothing short of ridiculous.

    is there any way to make this option available in other shooting modes???

Date Stamp

Go to the Menu button, to the top right is what looks like a "tools" tab, go to this. Once you scroll down, you can select "reset all"--this will take off the date/stamp info. if you clicked it "on" previously. Be sure to update all your other settings such as red eye alert/check.
