Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera

The first time you turn on the camera, a screen appears for configuring the display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.

IMPORTANT!

•A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the Display Language (Language)” (page 107). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.

•Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language selection.
