information on the time and date of recording is included with all pictures taken with your nikon digital camera. to set the camera's internal clock to the correct time and date, first display the setup menu (see step 5), and then follow the steps below.

   

    any pictures taken before the time and date have been set will have a time stamp of "0000.00.00 00:00." if the time and date have not been set, a flashing ("date not set") icon will be displayed in the top right corner of the monitor when the camera is in shooting mode.

    the clock battery

    the camera's internal clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed. if the camera has been stored for an extended period with the main battery removed, the clock may need to be reset. the clock power source can provide roughly twenty-four hours of back-up power after charging for about six hours.
