Wrong date and time

I set the camera date and time and it goes haywire. Clock runs slow on hours but not necessarily minutes. Dates re-set. New battery does not change situation. Help I use the camera like a diary and must have accurate date and time.

Date and time controlled by a cmos battery attached to the motherboard of the camera. Factory repair necessary. Costs $90 for the board with battery and $90 for installation. Camera now at Nikon certified repair shop. Thank you, A. Ward

How do I set the time/date etc on my clock? Model 65904 Ecotech solar clock

I don't have specific information about the Model 65904 Ecotech solar clock, but here are general steps you can try to set the time and date on a typical clock:
1. Locate the Time Setting Button:
- Look for a button that is labeled "Time Set" or similar. This button is often located on the back or bottom of the clock.
2. Press and Hold the Time Setting Button:
- Press and hold the "Time Set" button until the numbers on the clock display start flashing or blinking. This indicates that you are now in the time-setting mode.
3. Adjust the Time:
- Once the numbers are blinking, use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. Some clocks may have separate buttons for hours and minutes, while others may have a single button that cycles through hours and minutes.
4. Set the Date (if applicable):
- If your clock displays the date, you may need to follow a similar process to set the date. Look for a "Date Set" button and adjust the date using the same method as adjusting the time.
5. Confirm the Settings:
- After setting the time and date, press the "Time Set" or a similar button again to confirm your settings. The blinking numbers should stop, indicating that the clock has accepted the new time and date.
6. Check for Other Settings:
- Some clocks may have additional settings, such as a 12/24-hour format or a daylight saving time (DST) adjustment. If applicable, use the appropriate buttons to configure these settings.
If these general steps don't work for your specific clock model, I recommend trying to locate the user manual or contacting the manufacturer directly for assistance. Manufacturers often provide manuals on their websites, or they may be able to assist you with setting the time and date over the phone.

Need correct day and time on Olympus FE 170 digital camera

How do I set the date and time on the FE-170?


To access the clock controls, turn the mode dial to any shooting mode except [GUIDE] and then press the [MENU] button. Next, press the Right arrow on the arrow pad to select the [Setup] icon. Using the Up or Down arrow, navigate to the menu item depicting a clock. Press the [OK] button to access the clock settings feature.
Set the year, month, day, hour, minutes and date format using the following procedure: Use the Up and Down arrows to select values, and press the Right arrow to advance to the next item. (The FE-170 uses a 24-hour clock.) When all information has been entered, press the [OK] button to set the values. Press [MENU] twice to exit the menu.
To set the time precisely, with the cursor on either "minutes" or "date format," press the [OK] button as the time signal strikes 0 seconds.
The date and time settings will be returned to the factory defaults if the camera is left without batteries for approximately three days. Custom settings may be canceled more quickly if the batteries were only loaded into the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important shots, check that the date and time are correct.

Clock runs 5 minutes fast

Do you mean you set the correct time initially and then gradually got faster?There may be a reset button on it somewhere,no guarantee.It will probably be a small circle that doesn't look like anything.If there is,press it with a sharp pencil or something just as small.If not,it's just the nature of the beast.I have a radio which slows down over time...and it's a BOSE wave radio and have to adjust periodically!That's about all you can do is deal with it.Sorry if you can't fix it. Good luck!

Emerson Research SmartSet Clock Radio

There was a sheet of paper that came with my clock explaining how to adjust the daylight savings time settings, but I lost it.  Anyone have theirs?  All i know is it requires that you press an awkward combination of buttons simultaneously, but that's it.

Emerson Smartset Radio Model CKS2288

The Daylight Saving dates appear to be hard-coded per the manual:

Start of Daylight Saving Time:
At 1:59.59 AM on the first Sunday in April, the clock will automatically advance to 3:00 AM.
End of Daylight Saving Time:
At 2:59.59 AM on the last Sunday in October, the clock will automatically reset to 2:00 AM.

So the easiest thing to do is to change your time zone up or down one for the period between the new DST date and the old -- or you can buy a new SmartSet for about $15. The newer ones do not have the same problem.
