I was thinking that anyone interested enough to steal your image would more than likely be able to get rid of the watermark too!

I doubt I need to fear anyone stealing my images though!

Re: Watermarking photos

Go into the settings menu, the spanner and there is a option to add an image comment. Is on my D40 so assume the D40x is the same.

Re: Watermarking photos

To get the copyright character you can open "All programs" - "Accesories" - "System Tools" - "Character Map" highlight the character you wish to use and press copy. Go to where you wish to use it and paste.

I have created a shortcut on my desktop to the character map so I can open it quickly.

In some programs you can insert the unicode number for the character directly. In word for instance if you type 00a9 and the after typing the "9" press Alt + X yo will see the unicode number turn into the Copyright sign.

Thanks for that Steve, but I was looking for it on my camera! Where you add a comment to a picture, its not on there! But I did the (c) thing and it looks ok.
