Setting the Date and Time
You will need to set the date and time of the camcorder before you can start using it. When the camcorder’s

depending on the country/region of purchase).
1 Push the joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial to change the month/day then move (Ð) to the
next field.
• To move to the next field you can also press SET (press the joystick itself or press the SET button).
