AThe BIndicator

The camera clock is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed or the camera is powered by an optional power connector and AC adapter (0 436). Two days of charging will power the clock for about three months. If the Bicon flashes in the control panel, the clock has been reset and the date and time recorded with any new

photographs will not be correct. Set the clock to the correct time and date using the Time zone and date > Date and time option in the

setup menu (0 18).
