Nikon COOLPIX5900, 7900 manual Date not Set, Clock Battery, Camera Clock, Time Zones

First Steps

Date not Set

If you exit without setting time and date, the (“date not set”) icon will flash in the monitor when the camera is in shooting mode and all pictures will have time stamp of “0000.00.00 00:00” (still images) or “2005.01.01 00:00” (movies).

The Clock Battery

When the main battery is installed or the camera is powered by an EH-62A AC adapter (optional), the clock battery will charge in about ten hours. When fully charged, the clock battery can provide a few days of back-up power.

The Camera Clock

The camera clock is less accurate than most watches or household clocks. Check the clock regularly against more accurate timepieces and reset as necessary.

Time Zones

The local time or daylight saving time can be set when traveling abroad. See Date ( 120) in the Set-up menu for details.

Setting the Clock from PictureProject (Windows XP/Mac OS X Only)

If the camera is connected with the USB option set to PTP ( 65) in the Interface menu of the Set-up menu, PictureProject (provided) can be used to set the camera clock to the same time and date as the computer. See the PictureProject Reference Manual (on CD) for details.
