built-in clock is not very accurate.
ªRecharging the built-in lithium battery
≥If [0] or [--] is indicated when the camera is turned on, then
the built-in lithium battery runs down. Connect the AC adapter
to the camera or place the battery on the camera, and the
built-in lithium battery will be recharged. Leave the camera as
is for approx. 24 hours, and the battery will drive the date and
time for approx. 6 months. (Even if the [OFF/ON] switch is set
to [OFF], the battery is still being recharged.)
