Setting the Current Date and Time

You can set the current date and time. The current date and time settings are used as standard timer settings for functions that require them.

  • GMT:
GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time.
  • Time Zone:
Time Zone: The standard time zones of the world are expressed globally in terms of the difference in hours (± up to 12 hours) from GMT (± 0 hours). A time zone is a region throughout which this time difference is the same.
  • Daylight Saving Time:
In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season. The period in which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."

Remark
  • You can also specify to automatically synchronize the date and time with a server on the network from the Additional Functions screen. (See "Network.")

  1. Press (Additional Functions) → [System Settings] → [Date & Time Settings].

  1. Enter the current date (day, month, year) and time using - (numeric keys).

Enter the month and the day using four digits (including zeros).

Enter all four digits of the year, and the time in 24-hour notation, as four digits (including zeros) without a space.
