First Steps: Setting the Time and Date

The item currently selected for editing will flash. Edit the se-
lected item by pressing the zoom-in switch (T/▲) to increase its
value or the zoom-out switch (W/▼) to decrease its value.
Pressing the zoom switch once changes the value of the se-
lected item by one, while holding the switch down causes the
value to change rapidly. When the maximum value is reached,
pressing the zoom-in switch will return the selected item to its
minimum value.

To select the next item for editing, press the shutter button.
To change the order in which the month, day, and year are
displayed, highlight the letters showing the current order (Y M
D
in the example above), then press the zoom switch to cycle
through the settings in the order Y M D (year/month/day) M
D Y
(month/day/year), D M Y (day/month/year). Pressing the
shutter button when the desired order is highlighted will set the
date and return you to the previous menu. If an invalid combi-
nation of month and day, such as 02/30, is chosen, the camera
will automatically set the date to the first of the following month
when changes are saved. To exit the date menu without
making any changes, press the MENU button.

Note:

The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable

battery, which is charged as necessary when the main batteries are
in place or the AC adapter is connected. 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 a few hours,
during which time the batteries should be left in the camera.
