If you connect the PhotoPC 3000Z to your computer and access EPSON Photo!3 when the camera's clock is not set, the camera's date and time is automatically set to match your computer’s date and time settings. For instructions on connecting the camera to the computer and accessing EPSON Photo!3, see the EPSON Digital Camera Software User’s Guide.
