SETUP MODE

It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is record-

ed, the date and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed dur-

ing playback or can be read with the DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility software included

on the CD-ROM. The camera’s clock is also used with data imprinting.

When the Date/Time-set option is selected and entered,

the date/time screen will be displayed. The left/right

keys of the controller are used to select the item to be

changed and the up/down keys are used to change the

value. From left to right, the screen shows the year,

month, day, hour, and minute. When the date and time

have been adjusted, set the clock by pressing the cen-

ter of the controller.

The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year,

month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year).

Simply select the format and enter it by pressing the center of the controller; the new

format will be displayed on the menu.

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 112). The video output can be

changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe

uses the PALstandard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back

images on your television set.
