The color of the image is strange.

• When you print the images recorded in Adobe RGB mode using sRGB

printers that are not compatible with Adobe RGB (DCF2.0/Exif2.21), the
images are printed at a lower intensity level (page 102).

Images are printed with both edges cut off.

• Depending on your printer, the left, right, top, and bottom edges of the

image may be cut off. Especially when you print an image shot with the
aspect ratio set to [16:9], the lateral end of the image may be cut off.

• When printing images using your own printer, cancel the trimming or

borderless settings. Consult the printer manufacturer as to whether the
printer provides these functions or not.

• When having images printed at a digital print shop, ask the shop whether

they can print the images without cutting off both edges.

Cannot print images with the date.

• Using “PMB,” you can print images with date (page 151).
• This camera does not have a feature for superimposing dates on images.

However, because the images shot with the camera include information on
the recording date, you can print images with the date superimposed if the
printer or the software can recognize Exif information. For compatibility
with Exif information, consult the manufacturer of the printer or the
software.
