Your camcorder includes a internal rechargeable battery that retains the date and time settings even
after the power is turned off.
If the battery is depleted, the current date/time values are reset to the default values. If this occurs, you
need to recharge the internal rechargeable battery (see below), and then re-set the current date and time.
The internal battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC power or while
the battery is attached.
If you have not used the camcorder for about 2 weeks and you have not connected the AC power
or the battery to it, the internal battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the internal battery by
connecting the camcorder to the supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.
