Language and date/time settings can be changed at any time using the

setup menu. The camera clock can also be set using data provided by
an optional GPS unit (0 170).

The Clock Battery

The camera clock is powered by an independent, rechargeable power
source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed
or the camera is powered by an optional power connector and AC
adapter (0 323).

Two days of charging will power the clock for about

three months.

If the camera displays a warning at startup stating that

the clock is not set and a

Y

icon flashes in the information display, the

clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset. Set the clock to
the correct time and date.

The Camera Clock

The camera clock is less accurate than most watches and household
clocks.

Check the clock regularly against more accurate time pieces and

reset as necessary.
