SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
The SD14 camera records the date and time when each image is captured and
stores this information with the image. To ensure that the correct information is
recorded with each image, set the camera’s internal clock to the correct date and
time before using the camera for the first time or after extended periods of
disuse.

such as after prolonged storage, the internal clock will need to be reset.
• You can synchronize the date and time on the SD14 camera to your computer by
