Setting the Current Date and Time

Use the following procedures to set the current date and time, and to select the date format.

When you record an image, the date and time the image was shot is registered in accordance with data from the camera’s built-in clock.

IMPORTANT!

The date and time settings are cleared if the camera is left for about 12 hours without battery and AC power being supplied. If this happens, restore power and make new date and time settings before using the camera again.

The date and time setting screen appears first when you turn on the camera after the date and time set- tings are cleared.

If you do not set the camera’s built-in clock to the cur- rent date and time, all images are recorded with the default date and time, which probably is not your cor- rect current date and time. Be sure to correctly set the clock before you use the camera.
