*This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock. Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is
cut off (by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an AC power outlet with the AC adapter) for about 24
hours. After power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to an AC power outlet, you will have to set the
correct time and date again.
*The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of precision engineering, with an effective pixel rate of 99.99%. This
also means, however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to light or to remain lit at all times.
