Setting the Date and Time
You will need to set the date and time of
the camcorder before you can start
using it. The [Date/Time] screen will
appear automatically when the
camcorder’s clock is not set.
When the [Date/Time] screen
appears, the year will be displayed in
orange and indicated with up/down
arrows.
1
Change (
) the year and move
(
) to the month.
2
Change the rest of the fields
(month, day, hour and minutes) in
the same way.
3
Select (
) [OK] and press
to
start the clock and close the setup
screen.
IMPORTANT
• When you do not use the camcorder for
about 3 months, the built-in
rechargeable lithium battery may
discharge completely and the date and
time setting may be lost. In such case,
recharge the built-in lithium battery
(
116) and set the time zone, date
and time again.
• The date appears in a year-month-day
format only in the first setup screen. In
subsequent screen displays the date
and time will appear as day-month-year
(for example, [1.Jan.2008 12:00 AM]).
You can change the date format (
97).
• You can also change the date and time
later on (not during the initial setup).
Open the [Date/Time] screen from the
setup menus:
