Setting the Date and Time

Use the Set Date & Time submenu to set the camera’s date and time. If you wish to change the format that is used for the date and time, see the next subsection, “Format Dialog.”

Press the up or down arrow on the 4-way controller to scroll through the list of numbers on the left side of the screen until you reach the number you want. The number in the currently highlighted field in the center of the screen (such as the Month field, as shown in the example in Figure 76) changes accordingly. When you have selected the number for the currently highlighted field, press the right arrow on the 4-way controller to move to the next field. When you have finished setting the date and time, press the right (Exit) soft key to save the date and time settings and return to the Preferences menu.
