NOTE
t
Be sure to make this setting before using the camera for the first time. After, do not change the setting during use.
t
Thumbnail operations and menu operations on thumbnail operation section are not possible while the <TCG> switch is set to <SET>.
t
After setting year/month/day in step
, the internal clock will start if the <TCG> switch is set to <F-RUN> or <R-RUN>.
t
To cancel settings while setting year/month/day, hours/minutes/seconds and time zone, set the <TCG> switch to <F-RUN> or <R-RUN> with the
<SET> button held down.
t
Clock accuracy is a lunar inequality of approximately ±30 seconds with the power off. When accurate time is required, check and reset the time
when the power is turned on. Note that if the time is received using the built-in GPS, the time of the internal clock (local date and time) is maintained
accurately based on the time received (Greenwich mean time) and the time zone. If the time display of [DATE] and [TIME] is different from the local
time, the time zone setting may be incorrect. Check the time zone setting again ([DATE] and [TIME] do not need to be set again).
t
The built-in clock runs for several years on the camera’s built-in lithium cell. When the lithium cell runs low, [BACKUP BATT EMPTY] will be displayed
in the viewfinder when the camera is turned on. For details, refer to “Maintenance” (page 244).
