NOTES

•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 ( 112) 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 day-month-year (for example, [1.Jan.2011 12:00 AM]). You can change the date format and the clock format (12/24 hours) with the [Date Format] setting.

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