• When a fully charged battery has been
inserted for more than 24 hours, charging
of the built-in battery for the clock is
completed so the clock setting will be
stored (in the camera) for at least
3 months even if the battery is removed.
(If you insert a battery that is not
sufficiently charged, the length of time that
the clock setting is stored may become
less.) However the clock setting is
canceled after this time. In this case, set
the clock again.
• You can set the year from 2000 to 2099.
The 24-hour system is used.
• If the clock is not set, the correct date
cannot be printed when you stamp the
date on the pictures with [TEXT STAMP]
(P101) or order a photo studio to print the
pictures.
• If the clock is set, the correct date can be
printed even if the date is not displayed on
the screen of the camera.
