You can also specify to automatically synchronize the date and time with a server on the network from
the Additional Functions screen. (See Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network," in the Network Guide.)

• GMT:
The time at the Greenwich Observatory in England is called GMT (Greenwich
Mean Time).
• Time Zone:
The standard time zones of the world are expressed globally in terms of the
difference in hours ( up to 12 hours) from GMT ( 0 hours). A time zone is a
region throughout which this time difference is the same.
• Daylight Saving Time: In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season. The period in
which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."
