3:Setting the date and time

Touch pad

Shutter button

Power button

The date/time setting screen is displayed the
first time you turn on the camera. Once you
set the date and time, the settings are
maintained by the camera’s internal
rechargeable battery. Although the internal
battery recharges each time the main battery
is attached to the camera, when the main
battery runs out, the internal battery will fully
discharge in about a month. If this happens,
the date and time will be reset to default
settings.

When you press the power button for

the first time, the date/time setting
screen appears.

Touch the center of the touch pad to

display the year selection screen.

Set the year using the touch pad. Slide

your finger from left to right over the
touch pad to increase the year and from
right to left to decrease it. When the
year you want is displayed, touch the
center of the touch pad.

The year increases. The year decreases.

In the same way, set the month, date,

hour and minute using the touch pad.

��

After you set the minute and the

date/time display starts flashing, touch
the center of the touch pad. You can set
the time precisely by touching the touch
pad when you hear a time signal. The
clock starts operating and the camera is
ready to take pictures.
