Preparing the Camera

settings if the camera battery has been removed for more than three
weeks. Reset them when this occurs.
•Setting the date and time settings does not cause the date/time
stamp to appear on images. For printing images with the date on
them, refer to the Direct Print User Guide or Canon Digital Camera
Software Starter Guide Disk.
Charging the Date/Time Battery
- The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery for saving
settings such as the date and time. This battery is recharged by
the battery pack while it is in the camera. Right after purchasing
the camera, leave a charged battery pack in the camera, or plug
in AC Adapter Kit ACK500 (sold separately), for about 4 hours to
charge the date/time battery. It will charge even when the camera
power is turned off.
- If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned
on, the date/time battery charge is low. Use the above method to
recharge it.
