Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium Battery
To store the date/time in memory, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger, or while the battery pack attached to the camcorder continues to supply power, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is always charged. However, if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger for over 24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the date/time setting before using the camcorder.
Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the date/time.
NOTE:
Even if you select “CLOCK ADJ.”, if the parameter is not highlighted, the camcorder’s internal clock continues to operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/time parameter (month), the clock stops. When you finish setting the minute and press SET/SELECT, the date and time begin operation from the date and time you have just set.
