The camera comes with menus that allow you to set the settings for taking pictures and playing them back just as you like and menus that enable you to have more fun with the camera and use it more easily.

In particular, the [SETUP] menu contains some important settings relating to the camera’s clock and power. Check the settings of this menu before proceeding to use the camera.
