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
Move (
) the cursor to the [OK]
button and press
to start the
clock and close the menu.
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
(
78) 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 month-day-year (for
example, [JAN. 1, 2008 12:00 AM]). You
can change the date format (
69).
• You can also change the date and time
later on (not during the initial setup). To
open the [DATE/TIME] screen, press
and select
[DATE/TIME
SETUP]
[DATE/TIME].
