SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

After initially inserting a memory card and battery, the camera’s clock and calendar must be set. When images are recorded, the image data is saved with the date and time of recording. Depending on the region, the menu language may also have to be set. To change the language, see the camera notes on the following page.

Turn the mode dial on the top of the camera to the setup position. The camera will turn on and the setup menu will be displayed.
