Date
when you open the Playback screen it will automatically start on the current day. To view footage from a different day click the Calender icon to display the calender screen as shown below.
You can change the month and year using the blue arrows then select a date by clicking on it. An orange line underneath a date indicates that footage was captured on that day.
