from that in full-frame playback as follows:

the currently selected date.

rently displayed full frame, other pictures taken on the same date can be
selected.

specified, a confirmation dialog [Save print marking for other dates?] or [Save transfer mark-
ing for other dates?] will be displayed. Select [Yes] to add the new print or transfer marking to
the existing marking. Select [No] to remove the existing print or transfer marking and leave
