Replacing the Clock Battery

The camera clock is powered by a CR1616 lithium battery with a life of about

four years. If the icon is displayed in the top control panel while the exposure meters are on, the battery is running low and needs to be replaced.

When the battery is exhausted, the icon will blink while the exposure meters are on. Photographs can still be taken but will not be stamped with the correct time and date, and interval timer photography will not function correctly. Replace the battery as described below.

1 The clock battery chamber is located on the roof of the main battery chamber. Turn the camera off and remove the EN-EL4 battery.

2 Slide the clock battery chamber cover toward the front of the main battery chamber.

3 Remove the clock battery.

4 Insert new CR1616 lithium battery so that the positive side (the side marked with “+” and the battery name) is visible.

5 Slide the clock battery chamber cover towards the back of the main battery chamber until it clicks into place.

6 Reinsert the EN-EL4.

7 Set the camera to the current date and time. Until the date and time have been set, the icon will flash in the top control panel.

CAUTION

Use only CR1616 lithium batteries. Using another type of battery could cause an ex- plosion. Dispose of used batteries as directed.

Inserting the Clock Battery

Insert the clock battery in the correct orientation. Inserting the battery incorrectly could not only prevent the clock from functioning but could damage the camera.
