SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
The SD9 camera records the date and time when each image is captured and stores
this information with the image. To ensure that the correct information is recorded with
each image, set the camera’s internal clock to the correct date and time before using
the camera for the first time or after extended periods of disuse.

both sets of batteries.
If the camera is without batteries for an extended period of
time, such as after prolonged storage, the internal clock will need to be reset.
