Nikon S2J00200401 user manual LCD Illuminators, Viewing the Time and Date, 217

LCD Illuminators

The LCD illuminators (control panel backlights) will dim gradually over time. This is normal; if desired, the illuminator can be replaced for a fee by a Nikon-authorized technician.

Frame Count

The frame number shown in the control panel on top of the camera corresponds to the number of photographs in the current folder, and returns to one when a new folder is created. New folders are created when:

•The number of photographs in the current folder reaches the maximum of 999

•File numbering reaches 9999 in sequential-numbering mode

•A new folder is created using the New option in the playback Folder Designate menu

Viewing the Time and Date

When the BKT and buttons are pressed simultaneously (A), the year will be shown in the control panel on top of the camera (B). Press the button once to display the month and day, and a second time to view the hour and minute. Pressing the button a third time will clear the time and date from the display.

AB

To set the time and date, hold the BKT and buttons down together for more than two seconds. The year indicator in the control panel will flash. Use the main command dial to set the year, and then press the button to view and set the month. Repeat this process to set the hour and minute. To save changes to the time and date and return to normal operation, press the button while the minute is displayed. To exit without saving changes, press the shutter-release button halfway. If no operations are performed for three minutes, any changes will be saved automatically, clearing the time and date from the display.
