Charging the Date/Time Battery

- The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery for 

saving settings such as the date and time. This battery is 
recharged by the battery pack while it is in the camera. Right after 
purchasing the camera, leave a charged battery pack in the 
camera, or plug in AC Adapter Kit ACK900 (sold separately), for 
about 4 hours to charge the date/time battery. It will charge even 
when the camera power is turned off.

- If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned 

on, the date/time battery charge is low. Use the above method to 
recharge it.

value.

• The date can be set up to the year 2037.
