(This information may have been set by someone checking out your camera on your
behalf prior to sale.) Just follow these steps:

1. Press the MENU button, located in the upper-right corner of the back of the 60D.
2. Rotate the Main Dial (near the shutter release button on top of the camera) until
the Set-up 2 menu is highlighted. It's marked by a wrench with two dots next to it,
as shown in Figure 1.10.
3. Rotate the Quick Control Dial (QCD) to move the highlighting down to the
Date/Time entry.
4. Press the SET button in the center of the QCD to access the Date/Time setting
screen, shown in Figure 1.11.
5. Rotate the QCD to select the value you want to change. When the gold box high-
lights the month, day, year, hour, minute, second, or year format you want to adjust,
press the SET button to activate that value. A pair of up/down pointing triangles
appears above the value.
