Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics

I can't find a way to imprint the time/date on images made with the DS. Is that even possible? It's not something I'd usually do, but there are about seven snaps I need to make over the next week - 10 days where it would be very handy to have that feature. Shel -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail
