    Setting the Time Zone, Date and Time

    06-Mar-2015
    8202572100

    Solution

      When you turn on the power for the first time or if the date/time/zone are reset, the date/time/zone setting screen will appear. Follow the steps below, making sure to set the time zone first. Set the camera to the time zone in which you currently live so that, when you travel, you can simply change the setting to the correct time zone for your destination, and the camera will automatically adjust the date/time.
      Note that the date/time appended to recorded images will be based on this date/time setting. Be sure to set the correct date/time.
