4 Cautions
• If exposure menus are changed or images substituted for images where annotations have
been input, annotations thus input will be erased.
• When annotations are input on images composed using optional image composition
processing, annotations thus input will be erased if those images are subjected to
recomposition processing.
• When annotations are input on source images for composition processing, those annotations
will be erased to generate composed images.
• Image rotation/reversal processing will move annotations as well (the character display
direction will remain unchanged).

• Input annotations will be printed on output film. If you wish to output films not printed with
annotations, consult you service engineer.
