• 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’s power switch is 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.

•You can print the date on images (p. 107).
