Replacing the Date Battery

The camera uses a special Date battery to power its clock. If the LCD monitor displays the Set Date/Time menu when you turn on the camera, this means that the Date battery has run down and the clock has stopped running. Please purchase a replacement battery (battery type CR1220) and install it as follows. (The date battery is preinstalled at the factory and may therefore expire earlier than its rated lifespan after the camera has been purchased.)

Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery since corrosive battery fluids could damage the stomach or intestinal wall.

1. Be sure that the camera is turned off.

2. Open the DIGITAL terminal cover.

3. Pull out the date battery holder.

4. Pull the battery out of the holder, as shown.

5. Insert the new date battery into the holder, with the positive terminal (+) facing up.

6. Replace the date battery holder back into its original position, and close the DIGITAL terminal cover.

7. When the LCD monitor displays the Set Date/Time menu, proceed to set the current date and time.

The LCD monitor also displays the Set Date/Time menu the very first time you turn on the camera. This is normal, and does not mean that the date battery is depleted.
