dialog will be displayed the next time the camera is turned on. Until setup is complete,
the

The Clock Battery

The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which

about one month. If the

The camera clock is less accurate than most watches and household clocks. Check the
clock regularly against more accurate time pieces and reset as necessary.
