First Time Settings

Setting the Date and Time

You will need to set the date and time of the camcorder before you can start using it. If the camcorder's clock is not set, the [DATE/TIME] screen will appear automatically when the camcorder is turned on.

When the [DATE/TIME] screen appears, the year will be displayed in orange and indicated with up/down arrows.

1Change () the year and move () to the month.

2Change the rest of the fields (month, day, hour and minutes) in the same way.

3Select () [OK] and press to start the clock and close the setup screen.

IMPORTANT

•When you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months, the built-in rechargeable battery may discharge completely and the date and time setting may be lost. In such case,

recharge the built-in battery ( 83) 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, 2009 12:00 AM]).

You can change the date format ( 72).

•You can also change the date and time later on (not during the initial setup). Open the [DATE/TIME] screen from the

setup menus:
