Nikon D70s Date, Language, Date (161), Basic Setup, Language (163), The Camera Clock, The Clock Battery, Steps First—Introduction

Basic Setup

If the button is not pressed at the completion of basic setup, the language selection dialog will be displayed the next time the camera is turned on. Until setup is complete,

the icon will continue to flash, and no photographs can be taken nor other operations performed.

The Clock Battery

The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main batteries are installed or the camera is powered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter. Three days of charging will power the clock for

about one month. If the icon flashes in the control panel, the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset to 2005.01.01 00:00:00. Set the clock to the correct date and time as described in “The Setup Menu: Date” ( 161).

The Camera Clock

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

Language ( 163)

To change the language in which camera menus and messages are displayed, use the Language option in the setup menu.

Date ( 161)

Use the Date option in the setup menu to change the time and date.
