SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
The digital camera will record the date and time an image or audio recording is taken so that you
can display them during playback. Therefore, before capturing images, make sure the correct
date and time are set.
Example: To set the clock to August 28, 2001 at 7:30 p.m.

Playback Option Setting Screen) (see page 29).

Follow the procedures below to set whether to display
the date during playback, to set the date and time, and to

œ
To return to the Option Setting Screens, press the
MODE button, or select

NOTE
œ
If the date and time are not set, June 1, 2001 midnight is recorded as the date and time.
Consequently, “2001/06/01 00:00” appears during playback.
œ
Under normal conditions, while the batteries are replaced, an internal battery will maintain the
date and time settings. However, there is a small chance the settings may be lost. (The backup
will last for approx. 30 minutes.) It is recommended to check that the date and time settings are
still correct after replacing the batteries and before shooting or recording of any type (follow
steps 1 and 2).
