SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is record-
ed, the date and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed dur-
ing playback or can be read with the DiMAGE Viewer software included on the CD-
ROM. The camera’s clock is also used with data imprinting.
When the Date/Time-set option is selected and entered,
the date/time screen will be displayed. The left/right
keys of the controller are used to select the item to be
changed and the up/down keys are used to change the
value. From left to right, the screen shows the year,
month, day, hour, and minute. When the date and time
have been adjusted, set the clock by pressing the cen-
tral button of the controller.
SETTING THE DATE FORMAT
The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year,
month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year).
Simply select the format and enter it by pressing the central button of the controller; the
new format will be displayed on the menu. This has no affect on the date folder name
(p. 122).
VIDEO OUTPUT
Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 39). The video output can be
changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe
uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back
images on your television set.

AUTO POWER SAVE
EVF AUTO SWITCH - CONTROLLING THE AUTO-DISPLAY FUNCTION
This option controls the auto-display function in the recording and
movie mode (p. 40). The auto-EVF/LCD setting allows the display
to switch between the EVF and LCD monitor automatically. The
EVF-auto-on setting turns off the LCD monitor and uses the eye
sensors to activate only the EVF when in use. This setting will help
conserve battery power.
The control used to recall saved camera settings stored in memory (p. 50) can be
changed. Two settings are available:
Function Dial - saved settings are recalled using the function
dial only, see page 50 for description.
DSP button - settings can be recalled using the digital-sub-
ject-program button (1). Each time the button is pressed, the
memory registers are cycled in order. The digital-subject-pro-
gram indicator shows the selected register. The memory reg-
isters can still be selected with the function dial, but the digital
subject programs cannot be used. The function dial must be
used to store a new set of camera settings (p. 50).
MEMORY RECALL
1
The camera will turn off the EVF and data panel to conserve battery power if no opera-
tion is made within a certain period. The length of this period can be changed to 1, 3, 5,
or 10 minutes. The auto-power-save option will not affect the display period of LCD
monitor; it will shut down after 30 seconds. To restore the displays when they shut
down, simply press the shutter-release button or the display-information button. When
the camera is connected to the computer, the auto-power-save period is set to ten min-
utes. This period cannot be changed.
