Time stamp function

You can record the date and time of shooting on the images.

Select the information to record in the [RECORDING] menu → [TIME STAMP].

[OFF]: Does not superimpose the date and time.

[DATE]: Superimposes only the date.

[TIME]: Superimposes only the time.

[DATE&TIME]: Superimposes the date and time.

The date and time of recording is displayed in the bottom-center of the LCD monitor.

NOTE

The order to display the year, month, and day of the time stamp follows the settings in the [OTHERS] menu → [CLOCK] → [DATE FORMAT].
The display of the month for the time stamp to record on the image is in English.
The size of the characters and the display position of the time stamp varies depending on the recording format.
The time stamp is not recorded in the following cases.
- When the [SYSTEM] menu → [REC FORMAT] → [480-59.94i/AVCHD SA]/[576-50.00i/AVCHD SA] is set
- When the [SCENE FILE] menu → [VFR] → [ON] is set
- When the [SYSTEM] menu → [SUPER SLOW] → [ON] is set
- When the [NETWORK] menu → [NETWORK FUNC] → [STREAMING]/[NDI|HX] is set
The position to display the time stamp can not be changed.
The time stamp is displayed even in the screen of the LCD monitor, the image of the viewfinder, and the image output from the <SDI OUT>/<HDMI>/<AV OUT> terminals.
When set to the [SYSTEM] menu → [REC FORMAT] → [720-59.94p/AVCHD PM]/[720-50.00p/AVCHD PM], the time stamp displayed on the video in the LCD monitor screen/viewfinder will have different size of the characters and display position as the recorded time stamp.
The external output is delayed by one frame when superimposing the time stamp.
The [VIDEO OUT/LCD/VF] menu → [INDICATOR] → [DATE/TIME] setting is disabled when superimposing the time stamp.
The time stamp is an image signal recorded superimposed to the subject. Therefore, the peaking display of the focus assist function and zebra pattern detection are enabled also to the time stamp display. The time stamp is also displayed horizontally inverted when set to the [VIDEO OUT/LCD/VF] menu → [LCD] → [SELF SHOOT] → [MIRROR].
