About date/time
≥The date and time function are driven by a built-
in lithium battery.
≥Make sure to check the time before recording
because the built-in clock is not very accurate.

Recharging the built-in lithium battery
≥If [0] or [--] appears when the camera is
turning on, then the built-in lithium battery has
run down. Use the steps below to charge the

Connect the AC adaptor to the camera or attach
the battery to the camera, and the built-in lithium
battery will be recharged. Leave the camera as
