SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

Your digital disk camera is equipped with a clock function that will record the date and time that any image, video clip, or audio recording is made so that it can be displayed during playback. An internal battery backs up the clock setting so that it is retained even when the battery pack is removed.

Caution

œEven if the battery pack is removed and the digital disk camera is not connected to an AC power supply, the clock setting will be retained by an internal backup battery (see page 23). However, if this is continued for a long period of time, this battery will lose its charge and the clock and other camera settings will return to their initial settings (00:00, January 1, 2001). If you have not used your digital disk camera for a long time, make sure to first check the clock setting.

œWhen the clock setting is in its initial setting, the timer mark (#) in the mode display panel will flash. When the clock is set, the mark will disappear (see page 33).
