The clock battery
The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable capacitor,
which is charged as necessary when the batteries are installed. If the camera
has been stored with the main batteries removed for a long period of time,
the clock may need to be reset. Once the batteries have been reinserted,
the capacitor will recharge in several hours, during which time the batteries
should be left in the camera.
