Setting the Time and Date

The camera’s clock-calendar is not set at the factory. When you first turn on your camera, you will need to set the time and date.

1. Turn the selector dial to M-REC

After turning the dial to M-REC, wait one or two seconds for the camera to complete start-up. The color LCD monitor should show the camera’s current settings superimposed on the view through the lens. If the date has yet to be set, the date “00.00.00/00:00” will be shown flashing at the top right corner of the display.

Note: If there is no card currently in the camera, in place of the camera settings the monitor will show a message indicating that no card is present. If the monitor is blank, press the MONITOR button until the view through the camera’s lens is visible. Should the monitor remain blank, check whether the control panel on top of the camera is on. If not, rotate the selector dial to OFF and check that the batteries are properly inserted or that the AC adapter is connected and plugged in.

2. Display the shooting menu

Press the MENU button to display the shooting menu shown at left.
