(page 55).

battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 178, 178).
• Select "Off" for "Continuous AF" (page 118).
Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the
Camera
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under "Specifying the
Display Language (Language)" (page 182). Note that a version of this manual in
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the
Japanese market.
