Your camcorder includes a built-in rechargeable battery that retains the date and time settings even

If the battery is depleted, the current date/time values are reset to the default values. If this occurs, you 
need to recharge the built-in rechargeable battery (see below), and then re-set the current date and time.

The built-in battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC power or while 
the battery is attached.
If the camcorder is not in use for about 2 weeks and you have not connected the AC power or 
the battery to it, the built-in battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the built-in battery by 
connecting the camcorder to the supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.
