If the date has not been set, a flashing clock icon will appear at upper right in the LCD monitor when the mode dial is set to A-REC or M-REC. Photographs taken when this icon appears will have a time stamp of “99/01/01 00:00”; set the time and date as described above before shooting.

Using the menus

If the menu does not appear when you press the MENU button, press the MONITOR button until the LCD monitor comes on. Items can be highlighted using the zoom buttons (▲▼) and selected using the shutter- release button. To clear a menu from the screen, highlight BK and press the shutter-release button, or press the MENU button until the menu disappears.

The clock battery

The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable capacitor, which is charged as necessary when the batteries are installed. If the camera has been stored with the main batteries removed for a long period of time, the clock may need to be reset. Once the batteries have been reinserted, the capacitor will recharge in several hours, during which time the batteries should be left in the camera.
