Step 6: Setting the date and time
Set the date and time when using this
camcorder for the first time. If you do not
set the date and time, the CLOCK SET
screen appears every time you turn on your
camcorder.
• If you do not use your camcorder for
about
3 months
, the built-in rechargeable battery
gets discharged and the date and time settings
may be cleared from the memory. In that case,
charge the rechargeable battery and then set the
date and time again (p. 83).
