GETTING READY

Configuring Display Language and Clock Settings

Be sure to configure the following settings before using the camera to record images.

•Display language

•Home city

•Date Style

•Date and time

Note that the current date and time settings are used by the camera to generate the date and time that are stored along with image data, etc.

IMPORTANT!

•Recording images without configuring the clock settings causes incorrect time information to be registered. Be sure to configure the clock settings before using the camera.

•A built-in backup battery retains the date and time settings of the camera for about 30 hours if the camera is not supplied with power. Date and time settings will be cleared when the backup battery goes dead. The following are the conditions when power is not being supplied to the camera.

—When the rechargeable battery is dead or removed from the camera

—When power is not being supplied to the camera from the USB cradle while the rechargeable battery is dead or removed from the camera

•The date and time setting screen will appear on the monitor screen the next time you turn on the camera after the date and time settings have been cleared. If this happens, reconfigure the date and time settings.

•If you make a mistake when setting the language or clock with the following procedure, you will need to use the camera’s menu to individually change the language (page 154) or clock (page 151) settings.

•You will not be able to edit time data stored with images that are recorded while the camera’s time setting is wrong.

•Even if you configure date and time settings, the date and time are not stamped into the images themselves. Note, however, that you can specify inclusion of the date inside of an image when printing (page 174).
