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 the 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” (page 127) and “Clock Set” (page 127) 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.
