Press the shutter button to take a photograph.

The “ ” mark flashes at the top-right of the display window to indicate that the display has been imprinted on the photograph.

The “M” mark on the numbers indicates the month, and is not imprinted.

The date or time is printed at the bottom-right of the photograph. If the photograph is bright (e.g. white or yellow) in this area the numbers may be difficult to read.

<Changing the date and time>

The date and time are changed as follows.

Press the mode select button to display the date.

Press the select button until the item to be changed flashes. Press the set button to change to the correct value.

(The seconds may be changed when “:” appears on the time display. Press the set but- ton at the tone for accurate adjustment.)

When the time and date have been changed, press the select button until the numbers no longer flash.

<Replacing the Data back battery>

As a long-life lithium battery (CR2025) is used in the Data back, it only needs to be replaced at 3-4-year intervals. As the battery deteriorates the date and time display become faint, and the LCD no longer functions in the normal man- ner. When this stage is reached, the battery should be replaced in the diagram (battery replacement every 2 to 3 years is recommended if the Data back is used frequently).

Remove the screw holding the battery cover on the data back,

and open the cover.

With the + terminal of the new battery facing outwards, place it

in the battery compartment and replace the cover and screw.

• Always reset the date and time after replac- ing the battery.

 

It is particularly important to ensure that the date battery

Warning

(CR2025) is kept out of the reach of children. Contact a

 

doctor immediately if the battery is swallowed.
