It is possible to update the

to sync the camera
to the PC time
The date menu page allows the user
to synchronise the camera time to
a SNTP server. In this instance it is
necessary to have the PC connected
to a network.
If a network connection is not
available it is possible to synchronise
the camera to the PC time by ticking
the “Sync Camera to PC Time” check
box and pressing the
submit
button.
The “UTC Offset” can be altered to
align the camera time with the local
time zone. To align the camera to the
actual PC time the “UTC Offset” should
be made same as the value displayed
in the “PC UTC Offset” field.
