Setting the Date and Time
The date and/or time display forms part of the data code. You can choose to display or hide it during
playback (see p. 65).
Set the date and time display when you first start using your camera. Charge the backup battery for a full
day (approx. 24 hours) before you begin (see p. 84).
• Before you start setting the date and time, select your home time zone from the menu.
• If you are on daylight saving time now, you should set the camera to daylight saving time. You can do
this at the same time you select your home time zone.
• After you set the date and time, the date/time and home time zone will be displayed for about four
seconds each time you turn the power on.
• The camera automatically accounts for the number of days in a month and leap year.

to select the option that represents your time zone.
