I remember reading somewhere that this body has some rechargeable built-in battery to manage clock - nothing easily accessible or removable like previous bodies

You can enable the GPS/auto time & date update so it always sets the date/time from GPS.

Well now I can't help but to be very curious about why you wanted to know! . I mean, if it recharges automatically, then it's not like yours ran out of juice or anything ..... which leaves me to wonder why one would seek out this information if it hasn't become a problem yet.

.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

There is no clock battery in a 5D4. It uses a capacitor which is kept charged by the main battery. I've spoke with Canon and they say it will hold its charge for a good while when the main battery is out. I'm not sure but I thought Canon said a couple weeks.

It should stay charged longer than a couple of weeks! Certainly my 5d4 clock has never stopped, even when put away for 2 months at one point, without a battery installed.
