The Clock Battery

The camera clock is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is
charged as necessary when the main battery is installed or the camera is powered by an
optional EP-5A power connector and EH-5b AC adapter (

0 208).

Three days of charging will

power the clock for about a month.

If a message warning that the clock is not set is displayed

when the camera is turned on, the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset.

Set the clock to the correct time and date.

The Camera Clock

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.
