I can not figure out how to add date information to the digital photoes taken using the Canon Rebel XT SLR Digital SLR camera. I am not sure if this feature existed on this model of DSLR camera. If I understand the question correctly, you are trying to put the date the picture was taken onto the actual picture. This would be similar to the film camera, where the date would appear in the lower corner of the printed photo.
You can not do this on the Rebel XT camera. However, do not worry, the camera stores the date, time, and many other items (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, flash mode, etc.) within each picture. This data is called meta data and is not usually visible when viewing the picture, but is contained within the actual data file. Depending on the program viewing the picture file you can see the date/time and all this other info.
There are many programs out there that can read the date/time from your file (once you copy the file from your camera to the computer) and add a visual representation of that date/time in a font and color that you specify onto the picture. These programs usually can automatically handle entire directories of photos at one time.
I would strongly recommend that you keep copies (at least on CD) of your original picture files before letting some program alter all of them. |
