Setting the clock in the camera

The camera’s internal clock keeps track of the date and time you take each
picture. This information is useful, and in some circumstances important, so
take time now to set the clock.

The camera must be connected to your Macintosh. (For instructions, see
“Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh,” earlier in this chapter.) If you
want to check the date and time on the Macintosh before you set the camera,
use the General Controls panel.

1

If necessary, turn on the camera by sliding open the lens cover.

2

On your Macintosh, double-click the QuickTake icon to open it.

3

Choose Set Camera Date & Time from the Camera menu.

4

To set the camera to match your Macintosh, click OK in the box that appears.

Whenever you want to check the accuracy of the camera’s clock, choose Set
Camera Date & Time from the Camera menu.

IMPORTANT

If the batteries in your QuickTake camera go dead or you remove

them and don’t replace them immediately, the camera’s clock stops. To
guarantee that the clock in the camera matches the clock on your Macintosh,
you must connect the camera to the computer and repeat the procedure
described here.
