Date and time on the photo

Hello everyone,

I have a Canon PoweShot G3 camera

How do I display a date and time on the photo I'm shoting ?

Thanks

I think it is not possible to ‘burn’ the date in the standard .jpg or RAW file, but if you use the Direct Print Function and have your own compatible printer or use a photo lab with Canon software you can. See your user guide starting at pg. 132 for details.

Of course you can use some software as Photoshop to insert the date read from EXIF to your image.

Perhaps somebody knows an available action to do that in Photoshop, but I never used neither Direct Print nor inserted the date in an image.

It seems that you can insert the date in a picture that will be sent by e-mail using the software supplied by Canon, I will check in my Pro1 and Canon supplied software as soon as possible, just for curiosity.

On the G2, if you are printing to printers that use the DPOFstandard, it is possible to selectively add the date only to the print. This is selected on the G2 by going to "Play", then select Print Order and hit the SET button. On the next menu is a selection for Date ON or OFF. If you have the book on the G3 see if you have a section titled "Print Settings (DPOF Settings)"
