SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is record-
ed, the date and time of the recording is saved with the image and is displayed during
playback or can be read with the DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility software included on the
CD-ROM. The camera’s clock is also used with data imprinting.
When the Date/Time-set option is selected and entered,
the date/time screen will be displayed. The left/right keys
of the controller are used to select the item to be
changed and the up/down keys are used to change the
value. From left to right, the screen shows the year,
month, day, hour, and minute. When the date and time
have been adjusted, set the clock by pressing the
centre of the controller.
SETTING THE DATE FORMAT
The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year,
month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year).
Simply select the format and enter it by pressing the centre of the controller; the new
format will be displayed on the menu.
VIDEO OUTPUT
Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 112). The video output can be
changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe
uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back
images on your television set.
