    NOTE

    • The camera has a built-in date/time battery (backup battery) that allows the date / time settings to be retained for about three weeks after the battery pack has been removed.
    • By inserting a charged battery or connecting an AC adapter kit (sold separately) the date/time battery can be charged in about 4 hours even if the camera is not turned on.
    • If the date/time battery is depleted, the [Date/Time] screen will appear when you turn the camera on.
    • You can also automatically update the date and time with the GPS function on the PowerShot S100. For details, see here.
