When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or replacing the backup battery
, the Initial Setting display appears on
the LCD monitor/viewfinder 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
Use the joystick on the handle or jog dial on the
rear operation panel for setting.
1
Tilt the joystick or turn the jog dial to
set the cursor to “Date/Time” then
press the joystick or dial.
The cursor moves to the year-setting column.
2
Tilt the joystick or turn the jog dial to
set the year then press the joystick or
dial.
The cursor moves to the month-setting
column.
3
Set the month, day, hour, minute, and
second in sequence in the same manner.
When you press the joystick or jog dial at
“SET,” the cursor moves back to “Date/
Time.”
4
Move the cursor to “Finish” then press
the joystick or dial.
The Initial Setting display disappears, and the
clock setting is completed.
The camcorder enters the operation mode
(Camera mode or Media mode) you selected with
the power switch.
Once after the Initial Setting display disappears,
the time zone and date/time settings can be
changed using “Time Zone”
and
of the OTHERS menu.
Notes
• If the clock setting is cleared because of
exhaustion of the backup battery while no
operation power was being supplied (no battery
pack and no DC IN connection), the Initial
Setting display will be displayed when you turn
the camcorder on at the next opportunity.
• 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.
