SETTING THE TIME AND DATE

The DP2 camera records the date and time when each image is captured and stores this information with the image. To ensure that the correct information is recorded with each image, set the camera’s internal clock to the correct date and time before using the camera for the first time or after extended periods of disuse.

Set the Mode Dial to the SET UP position and turn the camera on.

2

Use the button to select the [Date /

Time] menu and press the button.

3

When the “ : Jump to Date / Time Setting menu” message is displayed, press

the button again.

4

Press the button to select an item and

change it by pressing the button.

Press the button to apply the setting or

the button to return to the sub-menu without making any changes.

TIP

•The date can be displayed in one of three formats: M/D/Y (month/day/year), D/M/Y (day/month/year), or Y/M/D (year/month/day). Select the desired format from “Date Format”.

•The camera’s internal clock is powered by a capacitor that receives its

charge from camera’s battery. If the camera is without battery for an extended period of time, such as after prolonged storage, the internal clock will need to be reset.
