NOTE
t Be sure to make this setting before using the camera for the rst time. After, do not change the setting during use.
t Clock accuracy is a lunar inequality of approximately ±30 seconds with the power off. When accurate time is required, check and reset the time when
the power is turned on.
Note that if the time is received using the built-in GPS, the time of the internal clock (local date and time) is maintained accurately based on the time
received (Greenwich mean time) and the time zone.
If the time display of the internal clock is different from the local time, the time zone setting may be incorrect. Check the time zone setting again
(internal clock does not need to be set again).
t The internal clock runs for several years on the built-in lithium cell of the camera. When the lithium cell runs out of power, [BACKUP BATT EMPTY] will
be displayed in the viewnder when the camera is turned on. For details, refer to “Maintenance” (page 107).
