Setting the Date and Time

You will need to set the date and time of the camcorder before you can start using it. The [ Date/Time ] screen will appear automatically when the camcorder's clock is not set.

1. Press <

2. Select <

> the [

Menu] icon and press <

> to open the setup menus.

3. Select <

>

.

4. Select <

> [ Date/Time ] and press <

>.

5. Change <

> each field of the date and time and move <

> to the next field.

Select <

> [ OK ] and press <

> to start the clock and close the setup screen.

6. Press <

> to close the menu.

IMPORTANT

When you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months, the built-in rechargeable lithium battery may discharge completely and the date and time setting may be lost. In such case, recharge the built-in lithium battery and set the time zone, date and time again.
The date appears in a year-month-day format only in the first setup screen. In subsequent screen displays the date and time will appear as month-day-year (for example, [ JAN. 1, 2008 12:00 AM ]). You can change the date format.
