Setting the Time and Date
When you turn on your camera for the first time, you will need to
set the time and date as follows:
1
Turn the mode dial to PLAY.
5
Rotate the command dial to select the
item you wish to change, then edit the
item using the zoom-in button (T/▲) to
increase its value or the zoom-out button
(W/▼) to decrease its value. After edit-
ing, rotate the command dial to move to
the next item or press the shutter-release
button. Highlight Y M D and use the
zoom buttons to change the order in
which the year, month, and day are dis-
played. Pressing the shutter-release but-
ton when this item is highlighted sets the
time and date to the specified values.
If the date has not been set, a flashing clock
icon will appear at upper right in the LCD
monitor when the mode dial is set to A-REC
or M-REC. Photographs taken when this
icon appears will have a time stamp of “99/
01/01 00:00”; set the time and date as
described above before shooting.
The clock battery
The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable battery, which
is charged as necessary when the main batteries are installed. If the camera
has been stored with the main batteries removed for a long period of time,
the clock may need to be reset. Once the main batteries have been
reinserted, the clock battery will recharge in several hours, during which
time the batteries should be left in the camera.
Using the menus
If the menu does not appear when you press the MENU button, press the
MONITOR button until the LCD monitor comes on. Items can be
highlighted using the zoom buttons and selected using the shutter-release
button. To clear a menu from the screen, highlight BK and press the
shutter-release button, or press the MENU button until the menu disap-
pears.
