The clock battery
The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable capacitor,
which is charged as necessary when the 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 batteries have been reinserted,
the capacitor 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
disappears.

button (▼) to decrease its value. After

icon appears will have a time stamp of
“99/01/01 00:00”; set the time and date as
