The Clock Battery The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when a charged EN-EL3 battery is installed or the camera is pow- ered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter. Three days of charging is sufficient to provide about five months of back-up power. If the icon in the control panel flashes, the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset to 2002.01.01 00:00:00. Set the clock to the correct date and time as described above. 19
