Copyright

I have a question I hope experienced 7500 users can answer. When I first got my camera I put in my copyright info in and when I took a picture it was in the lower right corner of the photo. It now has disappeared from my photos but when I look at exif data it shows it there. I have looked thru the menu and can’t find anything that isn’t on for copyright. Am I overlooking something ? Thanks for any help.

This link shows where the Copyright info is located within the Menu. Go to the Wrench icon, and from there you should be able to access your copyright information. Check to see what is turned on or off.

The box is checked. I even uncheck the box and checked it back in the copyright still did not show in the photograph as it did in this one the first ones I took with the camera.

Sorry - I hit the wrong button and wound up in the editing mode of your post. Oops! I've only heard of that feature on non-Nikon DSLR bodes. Hopefully someone else will weigh in.

Adding a watermark is generally done by post processing software. Have you checked for watermark setting in your PP software or import software?

Welcome aboard Steve-D7500. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

Steve... Your camera may have embedded that data in the EXIF data of your photo...but the camera did NOT place that data in the image you posted... Whatever software you used to process the photo did that...

I'm not familiar with a 7500, but maybe you have an in-camera crop set to "ON" that deletes the copyright overlay?

I stopped using Google Picasa many years ago because it is orphan software now. But that it how I remember it would place a watermark on the photo if you enabled it when you exported an image. Right down to that slight drop-shadow effect. I don't have as easy of a solution since dumping Picasa, but I just have a file saved as my watermark that I copy/paste as layer into my finished images.

As others have chimed in already, your Nikon saves copyright info in the EXIF data but not visibly on the image.
