First Steps: Set the Time and Date
3 .2 Set the time and date
To set the time and date, turn the camera on and hold the auto-
bracketing button down for more than two seconds while pressing the
exposure compensation button (A). The year indicator in the control
panel on top of the camera will flash (B). Set the year using the main
command dial. Pressing the exposure-compensation button will cause
the month, day, hour, and minute to be displayed in turn; the item
currently displayed can be set using the main command dial. Press the
exposure compensation button when the minute is displayed to clear
the time and date from the display, putting any changes into effect (the
display disappears automatically, cancelling changes to settings, if no
operations are performed for three minutes).
Note
The time/date display is cleared from the control panel when the shutter-release button
is pressed half way. Changes to the time and date will not be saved.
