digits of the specified category you chose

vance digits continuously,

SELECT button 0 each time until blinking
stops.

panel, indicating that data imprinting
choices are possible.
• The blinking “ : ’’ allows precise fine-tuning
of the internal clock to the beginning of a
specified minute. To do so, depress the mode
button O until “Day-Hour-Minute” digits
appear and then depress the SELECT button
0 to make the “ : ” blink. Then depress the

Operational precautions
The data on the LCD panel O is imprinted on
each frame you expose.
• “Year-Month-Day” and “Day-Hour-Minute”
cannot be imprinted at the same time.
• As you release the shutter, the bar( —) mark
on the display blinks for a few seconds, indi¬
cating the data has been imprinted.
• If there is a white or yellow object in the cor¬
ner of the picture where the data is im¬
printed, the data may be difficult to read.
When composing your photographs, try to
avoid brightly-colored subjects in that cor¬
ner.
