Adjusting date and time display
One setting you may definitely want to
adjust before your first photo shoot is

save pictures, date and time information
may be useful for archiving purposes
later. The information is stored as
hidden computer information.
Note:  Time Display on this camera is based on the
24-hour clock where 0 through 12 represent a.m. times,
and 13 through 24 are p.m. (to get p.m. 24-hour time, just
add 12 to the corresponding clock time.
In REC mode, press the MENU button.
