Postcard Date Imprint Mode
You can shoot images with the optimal resolution and compression for postcard 
size printing.
• When printing standard image data to postcard size, sometimes the top, 
bottom and sides may not get printed.
• By shooting images in the Postcard Date Imprint mode, you can check the 
printing area (horizontal/vertical ratio of 3:2) beforehand. In addition, the 
resolution locks to 1600 x 1200 pixels and the compression to the Fine setting, 
rendering smaller file sizes.

digital zoom when it is set to [On].
