GETTING READY

• A built-in backup battery retains the date and time
settings of the camera for about two days if the
camera is not supplied with power. Date and time
settings will be cleared when the backup battery
goes dead. The following are the conditions when
power is not being supplied to the camera.
— When the rechargeable battery is dead or
removed from the camera
— When using the AC adaptor to power the camera,
disconnecting the AC adaptor
• The date and time setting screen will appear on the
monitor screen the next time you turn on the camera
after the date and time settings have been cleared.
If this happens, reconfigure the date and time
settings.
• If you make a mistake when setting the language or
clock with the following procedure, you will need to
use the camera’s menu to individually change the
language (page 163) or clock (page 159) settings.
• You will not be able to edit time data stored with
images that are recorded while the camera’s time
setting is wrong.
• Even if you configure date and time settings, the
date and time are not stamped into the images
themselves. Note, however, that you can specify
inclusion of the date inside of an image when printing
(page 181).
Configuring Display Language and Clock
Settings
Be sure to configure the following settings before using the
camera to record images.
• Display language
• Home city
• Date Style
• Date and time
Note that the current date and time settings are used by
the camera to generate the date and time that are stored
along with image data, etc.
IMPORTANT!
• Recording images without configuring the clock
settings causes incorrect time information to be
registered. Be sure to configure the clock settings
before using the camera.
