DATE/TIME IMPRINTING

Your camera records date and time information on the film’s magnetic data strip. The recorded information is read at the photo lab and imprinted on the back of your photographs.

Some labs cannot print date and/or time information on the front of your photographs. See your photofinisher for a full description of available services.

See your photofinisher for details on having date and time information imprinted onto prints made from the slides.

Setting the Date/Time

1. Open the control-panel door, then press the date button.

2. Press the select button until the item you want to adjust blinks.

• Each press of the select button causes the next item to blink. The sequence is as follows: year month date hour minute stops blinking

3. Turn the control dial to adjust the blinking item.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all items in the date and time display are correct.

5. Press the select button (or the date button) until the display stops blinking to set the updated information.

Follow the sequence as stated above. If the wrong button is pressed, the new data will not be entered.

After setting the date/time information, press the shutter- release button partway down to return to the standard data- panel display.

This camera has a quartz clock with an automatic calendar through the year 2029.
