Regarding Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium Battery
To store the date/time in memory, the clock’s rechargeable
lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the
camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC Power
Adapter/Charger, or while the battery pack attached to the
camcorder continues to supply power to the camcorder, the
clock’s rechargeable 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
Power Adapter/Charger for over 24 hours to charge the
clock’s rechargeable 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.

Even if you select “DATE/TIME”, if the parameter is not highlighted the camcorder's internal clock continues to
operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/time parameter (day), the clock stops. When you
finish setting the minute and press MENU/SET, the date and time begin operation from the date and time you
just set.
