Looking at the back of my Zx-5n, the LCD buttons read Date, select, & adjust. Sets the date if you wanted to imprint the film. I tried it once and turned it off. I just pressed the Date button and it actually showed the correct date! Time was off by about 15 mins, but the camera itself isn't loaded with batteries. I suspect if you press your Mode button, something might happen.
