Setting the Clock and Timestamping Recordings
Use the page M3 <CLOCK>of the MAINTENANCE
menu to set the camera head’s internal clock and
record the date and time.
Notes
•
If the following date/time setting procedure for the
internal clock does not cause the date/time
information to be displayed in the MAINTENANCE
menu, it may be due to a worn-out lithium battery in
the camera head. See page 23 and replace the lithium
battery.
•
After replacing the lithium batteries, set the internal
clock again. If you don’t, the date/time will not be
displayed.
