Nikon Coolpix 300 - Manual (Page 38)

24 First Steps : Setting the Time and Date
Selecting DATE brings up the following window.
MENU SETUP DATE
M-D-Y D-M-Y
DATE [MAR][ 1]’[97]
TIME [ 0]:[00]:[00]
Select “M-D-Y” or “D-M-Y” to display the date in the order “month-day-
year” or “day-month-year,” respectively. The year is shown as two digits:
values between zero and eighty-nine correspond to years between 2000 and
2089, values between ninety and ninety-nine to years between 1990 and
1999. Time is displayed as “[hour] : [minute] : [second]” using a twenty-
four hour clock. To change the time or date, select the item you wish to
change and press the arrow keys (
) to increase or
decrease its value. Pressing decreases the value of the selected item
by ten, while pressing decreases the value of the item by one.
Similarly, pressing increases the value by ten; pressing increases
the value by one. When you have finished setting the time and date, press
the
MENU key to return to the main menu, or ENTER to return to the
setup menu. Selecting CANCEL discards any changes and returns you to
the setup menu.
Note: The clock-calendar has its own internal power supply. Should you
notice that the clock is running extremely late, this is probably a sign that
the clock’s battery needs to be replaced. Take the camera to your local
Nikon representative for servicing.
