Setting the date and time

It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is recorded, the date and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed during playback or can be read with the DiMAGE Viewer software included on the CD-ROM. The camera’s clock is also used with date imprinting (p. 70).

When the Date/Time-set option is selected and entered, the date/time screen will be displayed. The left/right keys of the con- troller 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 central button 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 central button of the controller; the new format will be displayed on the menu.

Video output

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 94). The video output can be changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back images on your television set.
