When a fully charged battery has been inserted for more than 24 hours, the clock setting is stored (in the camera) for at least 3 months even if the battery is removed. (If you insert a battery that is not sufficiently charged, the length of time that the clock setting is stored may become less.) However, the clock setting is canceled after this length of time. In this case, set the clock again.

You can set the year from 2000 to 2099. The 24-hour system is used.

If the clock is not set, the correct date cannot be printed when you stamp the date on the pictures with [DATE STAMP] (P75) or order a photo studio to print the pictures. (P78)
