If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still picture during photo search, the camera may skip straight past it.

When you have set the area for the World Clock, date search also looks for the change in date based on the adjusted time.

Date search playback may start just before or after the beginning of the located section.

If the data code is not displayed correctly you will not be able to operate the

date search correctly.
