Date stamp digicam aesthetic recipe

**Step 1: Open CCD or CPM35** Digicam bodies make stamps feel native. Film bodies with stamps read as mashups — fine creatively, weaker for this keyword. **Step 2: Enable stamp before you shoot** Turn on LED or VCR-style date stamp in capture. Do not rely on a separate export sticker step. **Step 3: Flash for classic dumps** On-camera flash plus stamp is the highest-recall combo for 90s/00s feeds. **Step 4: Leave room in the corner** Compose so faces are not crushed under the stamp. Slight center bias helps. **Step 5: Batch a dated set** Shoot a sequence with the same stamp style, save to gallery, post as a dated dump.

Works day or night. For night flash dumps see the Y2K night recipe. Guide bridge: date-stamp-camera for category SEO.
