When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or the backup battery has
completely discharged, the Initial Setting display
appears on the viewfinder screen and LCD
screen. Set the date and time of the built-in clock,
using this display.
Time Zone
The value shows the time difference from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time).
Change the setting if needed.
Setting the time and date
Clock starts after you turn the SEL/SET dial
to select the items or value, then press
the SEL/SET dial to set them.
After the setting display disappears, “Clock Set”
in the System menu can be used to set
“Time Zone” and date/time.
Notes
• If the clock setting is cleared because the backup
battery fully discharged when no power was supplied
(no battery pack and no DC IN connection), the Initial
Setting display will be displayed when you next turn
the camcorder on.
• While the Initial Setting display is shown, no other
operation, except turning the power off, is permitted
until you finish the setting for this display.

the camcorder, and turn the lens hood in the
direction of the arrow
