3:Setting the date and time

Shutter button Touch pad

Power button

 

The date/time setting screen is displayed the first time you turn on the camera. Once you set the date and time, the settings are maintained by the camera’s internal rechargeable battery. Although the internal battery recharges each time the main battery is attached to the camera, when the main battery runs out, the internal battery will fully discharge in about a month. If this happens, the date and time will be reset to default settings.

3Set the year using the touch pad. Slide your finger from left to right over the touch pad to increase the year and from right to left to decrease it. When the year you want is displayed, touch the center of the touch pad.

The year increases. The year decreases.

4In the same way, set the month, date, hour and minute using the touch pad.
