Note

The date and time settings return to the factory default settings if the camera is left without batteries for approximately 3 days.

Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

If the date and time setting is canceled, a warning is displayed on the monitor the next time the camera is turned on. g“Error codes” (P. 107)
