7.2. Setting the system time

If time and date are incorrect these can be changed from a computer without 

connection to a TV. Switch on the video camera and connect it to the 

computer using the USB cable. Open the drive allocated to the camera and 

create a new file named “time.txt“.

Open the “time.txt“ file and enter the data in the following format:

  “year. month. day hour:minute:second Y/N”

Take care to include the empty spaces between individual values. The last 

entry “Y” or “N” specifies whether date and time should be displayed on the 

photos.

To set the video camera, for instance, to 15.12.2011, 20:00:00, enter the 

following in the “time.txt” file:

  “2011.12.15 20:00:00 Y” (for photos with date and time)

  “2011.12.15 20:00:00 N” (for photos without date and time)

Save the “time.txt” file and disconnect the video camera from the computer.

The date and time settings will be changed to the specified values when the 

camera is switched on again.

Note:

•  When the camera is not used for a while, the battery could be fully

 

 

discharged. When this occurs, the date and time also returns to the default  

 setting.
