• If the clock setting is lost because the backup battery
becomes fully discharged due to power being
disconnected for an extended period (no battery pack
and no DC IN power source), the initial settings screen
will be displayed when you next turn the camcorder
on.
• While the initial settings screen is displayed, no other
operation, except turning the power off, is permitted
until you finish the settings on this screen.
• 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
