First Steps
Date not Set
If you exit without setting time and date, the (“date not set”) icon will flash in the
monitor when the camera is in shooting mode and all pictures will have time stamp of
“0000.00.00 00:00” (still images) or “2005.01.01 00:00” (movies).
The Clock Battery
When the main battery is installed or the camera is powered by an EH-62A AC adapter
(optional), the clock battery will charge in about ten hours. When fully charged, the
clock battery can provide a few days of back-up power.
The Camera Clock
The camera clock is less accurate than most watches or household clocks. Check the
clock regularly against more accurate timepieces and reset as necessary.
Time Zones
The local time or daylight saving time can be set when traveling abroad. See Date
( 120) in the Set-up menu for details.
Setting the Clock from PictureProject (Windows XP/Mac OS X Only)
If the camera is connected with the USB option set to PTP ( 65) in the Interface
menu of the Set-up menu, PictureProject (provided) can be used to set the camera
clock to the same time and date as the computer. See the PictureProject Reference
Manual (on CD) for details.
