Now set the Year, Month, Date, Hour (24 hr format), and Minute, using the 3. Plus/Minus keys to make

stamped on your photos).

Auto O (Power Save)
By default, the SyncFocus will automatically turn o if no buttons or controls have been pressed for two
minutes. This helps save power and extend battery life when the camera is accidently left on. However, when
you are rst learning to use the camera you may want power to remain on (until you press ON/OFF) as you
get familiar with the features and controls. To do this, enter the main menu as described above in “Setting
the Date...”, highlight “Auto O”, press Enter, and select “Cancel”. Press Enter, then exit the menu as described
above.
