Date stamp on the Canon A40 ?

[ChinShiong]

Is there one ? Couldn't find it in the manual... Or is there any other software that does the job ?

maybe the software that comes with it does?? for my fujifilm, it is there in the JPEG... you will have to insert it as a floating text before you save it to your harddisk.

maybe the canon users here will be able to help you more!

gd luck!

I use A40 also.
I know we can get the date at EXIF info. I stamp the date myself on the pic if i want to show it. Tell me if there is another way the cam auto stamp the date. :dunno:

hmm... dun think that digicams will 'stamp' the time/date on the pic like normal film cams... the 'imprints' would have to be digitally superimposed on the captured image... now that would be a real challege...

logically, digicams should capture this info in either the EXIF data or the file modified/creation date. The accompanying software should be able to let you put in the date to the picture.

:dunno: but then, i might be wrong... just thinking aloud... :bsmilie:

Some PC software I've found that does the date stamping job...

1. A post in the Canon digital photography forum here recommended the use of BreezeBrowser which is able to add a watermark to an image by extracting EXIF data from the image itself.

2. Photo Brush is able to add text among other options such as date and time stamp.

I tried use BreezBrowser "proofs" to print water marks few times.... but i can't see it on pic?! Is it nvm show to user?

:dunno: Perhaps you've gotta tweak with the watermark settings ? I'm using Photo-Brush instead. Suits my purpose well
