Hi all:

I wonder is all canon cameras has this limitation? I can't have the date printed on the photo, and I don't think there is an option to set it as well...

1st of all, u need to find out whether your camera has this feature.
Check the manual or menu for 'date imprint' or 'date stamp'.
If nothing, sorry lah.

To my understanding (after some survey), digicam manufactured b4 2005 seldom include this feature. After that very common.

Yes, for some models, u need to set it at postcard mode ie. 1600x1200 resolution.

Don't want such limit? Pick a Nikon, Samsung or Kodak. tongue.gif

If you have the Canon ZoomBrowser EX software, go to edit - insert text-then import the shooting date/time. You can even stamped it anywhere/any color at the pics, just like stamping watermark.
