Setting Up Your Camera
Turning the power on
1. Turn the power switch to the on position.
When you turn your camera on, the current settings information
(number of remaining photos, photo quality, remaining battery
power, and white balance settings) is indicated on the needle
indicator on the top of the camera. For details, see “About Indicator
Needles” on page 24.

To turn the power switch off, turn the power switch to the off position.
Setting the date and time
When you turn on the camera the first time, you need to set the current
date (month, day, and year) and time (hours and minutes) on the LCD
monitor. Once these settings are made, the camera automatically
records the date and time each time an image is taken.
Note:
❏ If you remove the battery from the camera, the date and time settings will
be erased approximately two days at a maximum after the last time the
camera was used.
❏ After changing the battery, make sure that the date and time is set
correctly. If necessary, set the date and time again.
❏ You can change the settings later using the Basic Setup menu. For details,
see “Basic Setup menu” on page 43.
Follow the steps below to set the date and time.
1. Turn the power switch on.
2. Invert the LCD monitor toward you and press the LCD button. The
Time and Date screen is displayed on the LCD monitor.
