Current Date and Time

Setting the current date and time is very important. The current date and time settings are used as standard timer settings for functions that require them.

• GMT:

The time at the Greenwich Observatory in England is

 

called GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

• Time Zone:

The standard time zones of the world are expressed

 

globally in terms of the difference in hours (

 

 

 

up to 12

 

hours) from GMT (

 

 

 

0 hours). A time zone is a region

 

 

 

 

 

throughout which this time difference is the same.

•Daylight Saving Time: In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season. The period in which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."

NOTE

You can also specify to automatically synchronize the date and time with a server on the network from the Additional Functions screen. (See Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network," in the Network Guide.)
