Regarding Built-in Rechargeable Battery

To store the date/time in memory, a rechargeable
clock lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder.
While the camcorder is connected to an AC outlet
using the AC Charger Station, or while the battery
pack installed in the camcorder continues to supply
power to the camcorder, the clock lithium battery is
always charged. However, if the camcorder is not
used for approx. 3 months, the clock lithium battery
will become discharged and the date/time stored in
memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect
the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Charger
Station etc. for over 24 hours to charge the clock
lithium battery. Then perform the date/time setting
before using the camcorder.
It is also possible to use the camcorder without the
date/time setting.

NOTE:

If you don’t exit the Date/Time Menu, the clock
display will not move but the camcorder’s internal
clock continues to operate. Once you close the
menu, the date and time begin operation from the
current date and time, with no delay or loss.
