SETTING THE TIME AND DATE

The SD9 camera records the date and time when each image is captured and stores this information with the image. To ensure that the correct information is recorded with each image, set the camera’s internal clock to the correct date and time before using the camera for the first time or after extended periods of disuse.

TIP

￿The date can be displayed in one of three formats: mm/dd/yyyy (month/day/year), dd/mm/yyyy (day/month/year), or yyyy/mm/day (year/month/day).

￿The camera’s internal clock is powered by a capacitor that receives its charge from both sets of batteries. If the camera is without batteries for an extended period of time, such as after prolonged storage, the internal clock will need to be reset.

￿The date and time on the SD9 camera can be synchronized to your computer by using the “Set Date and Time…” option in the Camera menu of SIGMA Photo Pro software (See SIGMA Photo Pro Manual provided on the CD-ROM).
