The Clock Battery
The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is
charged as necessary when a charged EN-EL3 battery is installed or the camera is pow-
ered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter. Three days of charging is sufficient to provide
about five months of back-up power. If the
icon in the control panel flashes,
the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset to 2002.01.01 00:00:00.
Set the clock to the correct date and time as described above.

• The camera clock is less accurate
than most battery-powered time-
pieces, and should be regularly
checked and reset as necessary.
