Setting the Clock
The initial settings screen appears in the viewfinder
the first time the camcorder is turned on or after
the backup battery has become completely
discharged.
Set the date and time of the internal clock using
this screen.
Time Zone
Time Zone sets the time difference from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). Change the setting
as required.
Setting the Date and Time
Turn the SEL/SET dial (page 6) to select items
and settings, then press the SEL/SET dial to apply
the settings and start the clock running.
Once the settings screen is closed, you can change
the date, time, and time zone settings using Clock
Set (page 73) in the System menu.

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

The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery for
storing the date, time, and other settings even when the
camcorder is turned off. For details about the built-in
rechargeable battery, see page 79.
