  3. Use the or button to select a field (year, month, day, hour, minute and date format), and the or button to change its value.


  4. To put the settings into effect, press the <FUNC/SET> button after setting the date format.

  • Please note that the date and time settings may reset to the default settings if the camera battery has been removed for more than three weeks. Reset them when this occurs.
