CLOCK SET

1

This command sets the camera’s date and time information. The current 
date and time stamp will be stored with each picture and video. You can 
print the recorded information on hard copy pictures, and you can see it 
during playback of pictures and videos. It can also determine your sub-
jects’ ages in the Face Recognition function and in the PET and BABY1/
BABY2 predefined scene modes. The clock will also enable the camera to 
determine when you are on vacation based on travel dates that you enter.

Enter in Information

Enter time, date, date format, and time display format: The chosen for-
mats will be used throughout the camera’s software. If the mm/dd/yyyy 
date format is chosen, the displayed dates will be in this format.

Note: The clock setting can be maintained for three months by the built-
in clock battery if the camera’s regular battery is nonoperational or if it 
is removed from the camera. The built-in clock battery can be recharged 
from the camera battery within 24 hours.

WORLD TIME

1

Use this option to set your home’s and travel destination’s time zones. 
It includes a daylight saving time indicator for both the Home and Des-
tination options.

If you have set both the World Time’s Destination information and your 
travel dates in the TRAVEL DATE command, the camera will automatically 
display the correct date and time while you are traveling, along with the 
number of days you are currently into your travel itinerary.

Enter in Information

When you first enter the WORLD TIME command, or when you enter the 
command after you execute a RESET command, you will be prompted to 
enter your Home time zone.

If you are traveling, enter a Destination time zone.

The last entered time zone becomes the camera’s internal clock value. If 
you have not yet started your trip, return to the Home option and press 
the MENU/SET button when the Home time zone is displayed.
