SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
The brightness of the LCD monitor display can be adjusted within three levels: bright,
normal, and dark. The level chosen will be applied to the recording and playback
modes simultaneously. This has no effect on the recorded image. The setting does not
reset when the camera is turned off. It must be reset manually.
This function formats CompactFlash cards. The accessory card that comes with the
camera is pre-formatted. A CompactFlash card purchased separately may need to be
formatted. Always format the CompactFlash card using the camera; never use a
computer to format a CompactFlash card.
When formatting a CompactFlash card, any data on the card will be erased
permanently. Locking an image will NOT protect it when the card is formatted. When
the format function is selected, a confirmation screen will appear; highlighting and
entering “NO” will cancel the operation, “YES” will execute the operation.
Formatting a CompactFlash card destroys all the data on the card
To conserve the batteries, the auto-power-off function shuts down the camera after a
certain period if an operation has not been made. The length of this period can be
changed on the setup menu: 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes. When
using an AC adaptor, the auto-power-off period is set at 30 minutes and cannot be
changed.
When the camera captures a still image, it also records the date and time the picture
was taken.The camera stores this data as an Exif file that can be read by the DiMAGE
E201 Exif Utility software contained in the supplied CD-ROM. Make sure the date and
time have been set accurately.
When selecting the date function on the setup menu, the LCD monitor will display the
date and time screen. Use the scroll buttons to choose the format in which you wish the
date to be displayed: YYYY/MM/DD (year, month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day,
year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year). After the format has been selected using the
display/enter button, the year, month, day, hour, and minute need to be set. Use the
scroll buttons to change each setting and the display/enter button to set the value. After
the minute has been set, the setup menu will be displayed.
When selecting the time function on the setup menu, the LCD monitor will display the
date and time screen. The time function is a shortcut which bypasses the date format
and settings. Use the scroll buttons to change the hour and minute setting and the
display/enter button to set the value. After the minute has been set, the setup menu will
be displayed
