Setting the Date and Time
Take the time to set the date and time now. The date and time can be recorded on your tapes to act as a handy reference when viewing them later. Use the following procedure to set up the display for the current date and title.
Note: Be sure to insert the date/title battery before setting the date and time. Although the date and time can be set without the date/title battery inserted, they will disappear when the battery providing power to the camcorder is removed.
Make sure that the current time is displayed correctly before you start filming.
