SETTING THE TIME AND DATE

The SD10 camera records the date and time when each image is captured and
stores this information with the image. To ensure that the correct information is
recorded with each image, set the camera’s internal clock to the correct date and time
before using the camera for the first time or after extended periods of disuse.

• Press < CANCEL> at any time to close
the date/time set-up page without saving any of
the changes.

TIP

The date can be displayed in one of three formats: mm/dd/yyyy (month/day/year),
dd/mm/yyyy (day/month/year), or yyyy/mm/dd (year/month/day).

The camera’s internal clock is powered by a capacitor that receives its charge from
both sets of batteries. If the camera is without batteries for an extended period of
time, such as after prolonged storage, the internal clock will need to be reset.

You can synchronize the date and time on the SD10 camera to your computer by
using the “Set Date and Time…” option in the Camera menu of the SIGMA Photo
Pro software (See SIGMA Photo Pro Manual provided on the CD-ROM).
